Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1

Heh.

One of the most awaited films of the teen generation is out and expectantly, has made record sales once again!  I know this comes a bit late and I actually never intended to blog about the movie but... since I am experiencing a drought in what to write and to what direction I want to take the blog as a whole, I decided to do this little filler.

Breaking dawn is one of the longest books in the Twilight franchise, not to mention that it is very lucrative for the studios to prolong their moneymaking cash cow by making it into two movies instead of one just to bleed every penny they can on the crazy twi-struck fans and believe you me, it works... they'll gobble it up... including me.

Yep. Me.

I'm not exactly a die hard fan but I have enjoyed the books, and like others, have waited with bated breaths on how they would translate it in the silver screen.  In the books, the first part of the story was actually slow since it focused on the wedding, the honeymoon and the birth... there was never really that much action in the first arc... in the movie, they made it work by incorporating the wolf shifters.. yep, I call 'em wolf shifters 'coz that's what they are... they are not werewolves so you just stop with your own commentary...  They made the birthing and the argument of the wolves as the climax of the movie and it still worked. 

And one more thing, this movie is for those who appreciate the book franchise... this is not going to make a lick  of sense for those who haven't read the book (and I've read commentaries from those people who don't read the book and then watched the movie) and would probably hate it so I am telling it right now, If you don't like or have not read the books, this movie is not for you... 

But on the other hand, if you are a fan of the book, you will love it!  You get to see the wedding, honeymoon, and the birth... the 3 most important facts in the first arc..  you get to see if the studios were able to match you're imagination of how it is setup and executed (though probably, you're imagination wins... mine did!).  And for me, I think the movie sums up the first part quite well...

mumbling my anticipation for the last arc...
