But these movies have been built on a foundation of never breaking or questioning the source material. You know there's nothing romantic about this and that's why Breaking Dawn is the most controversial book of the series. Twilight fans, these scenes are your fault because deep down you know they're terrible but you want them anyway. It's another thing for mommy's creepy and jealous stalker to walk into a room, gaze into a baby's eyes, and think "You and me are lifemates." It's one thing for a parent to look into their eyes of their child and know that they will love and protect their baby always and forever.
Again, Condon tries to cover it up by quickly cutting to the teenage Rensemee because he knows like we do that this is creepy. No one says, "Well, can't we use a compound name? Esmee-Renee? No would call a Barbara-Ann a Barbraan, because that sounds stupid like the name you just came up with."Īnd yet none of this comes close to Jacob "imprinting" on the newborn Rensemee. The scene is made worse because it directly follows Bella's decision to name the baby "E.J." if it's a boy (for "Edward Jacob"-at which point I was reminded how her boyfriends dominate her life) and Rensemee if it's a girl because it combines her mother and mother-in-law's names. Condon tries to mask the moment by editing Tony Scott-style to play up the intensity, but nothing changes the fact that a guy just chewed through a uterus to get to his child. Keep in mind: there are surgical tools less than two feet away.

Then there's the moment when Edward has to use his mouth to eat through Bella's uterus in order to free the baby. There is no reason they couldn't transform back into humans to have their dramatic verbal confrontation. The CGI wolves have always looked fine, but watching their actors have a telepathic conversation is breathtakingly awful. Instead, Condon struggles mightily and fails terribly at translating these laughably bad moments. The blessed relief comes from the awful plot points that should have been excised from the script or changed so drastically that they would be palatable to a greater audience. However, there is respite from watching Lautner fail at a commanding performance and Kristen Stewart looking like death warmed over. I was also hoping there would be some mention of a prophecy or some other reason why Bella getting pregnant would break the treaty, especially since the occurrence is "impossible" and no one even understands it (Edward has to use the Google-seriously). It's a funny dichotomy because the attitude of the wolves is wild, free, primal, and savage, but they're a stickler for rules, and I was hoping a werewolf lawyer would come along to settle the dispute. The pregnancy stuff sends Breaking Dawn – Part 1 into a slide of irritating drama that plays up Jacob's role and how he and his renegade wolves must protect Bella and the Cullens from the other members of the wolf pack because the treaty has been broken by Bella's pregnancy. She doesn't have an answer other than "Death," and I think it was rude for the newlyweds to not say, "Thanks for the vague and ominous warning." When Bella become a couple months pregnant in a matter of days, he asks for his cleaning lady's ethnic wisdom in determining the cause.
When Bella and Edward go on their honeymoon, it plays like a brochure for an exotic location where rich people can go and not be bothered by anyone except the charming locals who think Edward is a demon and that he's going to kill Bella.
The wedding and honeymoon are bolstered by director Bill Condon's indulgence and Guillermo Navarro's vibrant cinematography, both of which manage to overcome an unusually wretched score from the highly talented Carter Burwell (who has scored all of the Coen Brothers' movies). Billy Burke and Anna Kendrick remain my favorite part of these movies because they seem to be the only people who can note the absurdity of their surrounding situation (they also have terrific comic timing). It's also the only part of the movie that allows for humor. It's the dream wedding, the dream honeymoon, and the dream loss of virginity.
It felt human and there was an implicit understanding that this was fantasy, but at it was fantasy almost entirely devoid of angst. Strangely, this was my favorite part of the movie. Sure, there's been cuddling, laying together in open fields, and enough longing gazes to fill the world's most unbearable YouTube supercut, but this is the climax. The first half of Breaking Dawn – Part 1 lets the fans indulge in romantic fantasies like never before.
