The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part -1

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part -1 The Twilight Saga, is a love story between 18-year-old Bella Swan (Stewart) and vampire Edward Cullen (Pattinson). In Breaking Dawn: Part 1 The newfound married bliss of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) is cut short when a series of betrayals and misfortunes threatens to destroy their world. After their wedding, Bella and Edward travel to Isle Esme for their honeymoon, where they finally consummate their marriage. Bella soon discovers she is pregnant, and during a nearly fatal childbirth, Edward finally fulfills her wish to become immortal. But the arrival of their remarkable daughter, Renesmee, sets in motion a perilous chain of events that pits the Cullens and their allies against the Volturi, the fearsome council of vampire leaders, setting the stage for an all-out battle. In the end of the movie, Bella, with her baby cut out of her and injected with vampire venom, finally wakes up from a coma. The movie concludes with Bella's eyes opening, her eyes now red, implying she is now a new-born vampire.

There just isn’t enough character drama to sustain the second half. Exchanges between Jacob and Edward, though volatile, are fleeting at best, and interactions with the Cullen family are insignificant. There are some strong moments, particularly from Lautner, who shows true angst as he tries to support Bella and yet stay true to the legacy of his pack. Stewart shows glimpses of strength, turning in a convincing performance as a young woman coming to grips with an unexpected pregnancy.
