I couldn’t resist going to see Breaking Dawn – Part One. I went to a ten AM show last Monday. I posted a review of this book here<\/a>, and was comparing the book to the movie the entire time.<\/p>\n

This story was dark, haunting and riveting. The special effects were amazing and it was especially hard to see Bella suffer physically after she gets pregnant with Edward’s baby. <\/p>\n

Bella and Edward (a vampire) send out invites to friends for their wedding. Jacob (an Indian man who can change into a werewolf) is Bella’s best friend and Edward’s natural enemy. Jacob gets upset about the nuptials, phazing into a wolf, running into the woods. <\/p>\n

After the wedding, Bella and Edward go on their honeymoon to a secluded island. They make love for the first time and the results are terrifying. Bella gets pregnant and Edward didn’t realize that a vampire could impregnate a human. They return to the mainland and lots of action-packed adventure happens after that. The wolves (the pack that Jacob belongs to) want to destroy the baby and there’s a war between the wolves and the vampires as the vampires try to protect Bella and the unborn child. While pregnant, Bella must drink blood to nourish the baby. I cringed when she did this!<\/i><\/p>\n

This movie was so intense. It also makes you think that the vampires and werewolves really exist. It’s haunting to think of never being able to die (except for some circumstances – the wolves can kill the vampires) for hundreds of years, being trapped in this human life, never growing old?<\/p>\n

I thought this movie was the most intense of all of the Twilight movies. I seldom watch movies with science-fiction\/fantasy elements. I find movies with regular settings and regular people more appealing. However, watching movies like this gives me a break from the norm. <\/p>\n

Have you seen this movie, if so, did you like it?<\/b><\/p>\n
