Breaking Dawn – Part 1 continues the Twilight Saga

As the twilight saga continues, “Breaking Dawn Part 1” sets a new tone for the movie series.

This fourth installment in the Twilight Saga surprises as it showcases the acting skills of the performers, as well as offers an accurate portrayal of the original book by Stephenie Meyer. The actors also seem to have become more comfortable in their roles.

In “Breaking Dawn Part 1”, Bella’s dream to marry Edward finally comes true, even if it means she will eventually become a vampire like the Cullens and the other vampires.

Bella’s character has progressed through the series from the awkward teenage girl from the first movie, Twilight, to a blushing bride in Breaking Dawn – Part 1. The long rivalry between Edward and Jacob also comes to a close in this fourth installment in the saga, which allows Bella and Edward’s relationship to be the focus of the movie.

The much-anticipated wedding scene was picturesque with a forest scene drooping with thousands of white flowers and twinkle lights. As the movie continues, it reveals a passionate honeymoon, a bloody and intense pregnancy and surprising character changes.

The choice to replace David Slade, director of the Eclipse, with Bill Condon seems to have been a good choice for the film, giving Breaking Dawn – Part 1 the edge it needed.

However, even with this director change, Rotten Tomatoes only gives “Breaking Dawn Part 1” a 26%.

With Breaking Dawn – Part 2 to be released in 2012, the Twilight Saga continues, providing one more chance for viewers’ hearts to be warmed by vampires.
