Breaking Dawn : Part 1 (2011) 5/10

Starring : Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner
Director : Bill Condon
Running Time : 118 mins

Bella (Stewart) and Edward (Pattinson) decide to tie the knot, with Bella still pestering him to turn her into a vampire. The decision, however, is taken out of his hands when, on their honeymoon, Bella surprisingly falls pregnant and begins to experience an extremely accelerated and painful pregnancy. With her life on line, Edward has to choose between losing the woman he loves forever, or conceding to change her in order to give her some semblance of a life.

The problem with this movie isn’t anything to do with the director – the point is that this is based on an incredibly slow paced and uneventful book; probably the worst of the series. On top of that, the two leads spend most of the film looking and sounding incredibly bored. The supporting cast do their best, with some funny moments from Billy Burke and Anna Kendrick, but nothing could really save this placeholder for having Bella turn into a vampire.
