Watched Breaking Dawn last night!
It's indeed the best Twilight movie so far, even better than the first one. Not sure if I'm being biased, considering I've been one of those fanatic Twihards ever since Dad bought the first Twilight novel for my sister, who came running to me with the book and said "Kak, you MUST read this book!" and continued with her usual rules and regulations before reading her book etc. And yes, I fell in love with every tiny bits portrayed by Stephanie Meyer, whom I think one of the most brilliant authors ever lived. Call me loser, but that's my opinion. I immediately fell in love with Edward and still was until the movie came out and I was utterly disappointed by the casting, especially for Bella and Edward. But what's done is done.
Put that aside, it's Breaking Dawn that matters. I have to say, you have to watch the previous Twilight installments before you can understand and appreciate this fourth installment. The movie opens with Jacob expressing his anger and disappointment, running from home after he received the invitation to Bella and Edward's wedding. And moves to the most anticipated wedding, even much more beautiful than I have ever imagined after reading the 4th novel way before the first Twilight movie came out. And talking about the wedding, Bella's wedding dress is simple yet elegant and sexy yet modest. And who could resist Edward's charm and the love he has for Bella. The intensity of their romance reached a new level as we move to their honeymoon chapter. Bella was terrified and almost had a nervous breakdown realizing that it's gonna be her "first night" with Edward. That was so funny I laughed so hard. But the "scene" was cut, sad kejap. I want to watch how Edward tore down the bed, it's gonna be even funnier.
I think I shall stop here before spilling even more spoilers. If someone asks me what I think of the movie, I have to say that they have saved the best for last. For those Twihaters, this is a movie worth watching. I, myself, was so disappointed with the previous three installments, but I think they have made justice with this one. I'm gonna watch it again myself, maybe another 2 or 3 rounds? And I can't wait for Part 2!
Some of my favourite quotes from the movie.
Edward Cullen: No measure of time with you will be long enough. But we'll start with forever.
Bella Swan: You have to accept this for what it is.
Edward Cullen: Because you've given me no choice.
Charlie Swan: You're ready?
Bella Swan: Yeah. Just don't let me fall, Dad.
Charlie Swan: Never.
Edward Cullen: I'll see you at the alter.
Bella Swan: I'll be the one in white.
Jacob Black: [after Rosalie leaves the room] Since when are you and Blondie BFFs?
Edward Cullen: [Jacob has stopped the pack from hurting Renesme] Jacob imprinted. They can't touch someone once they have been imprinted; It's their absolute law!
Edward Cullen: I've been waiting a century to marry you, Miss Swan.
Jacob Black: Imprinting on someone is like... Like when you see her... Everything changes. All of a sudden, its not gravity holding you to the planet. It's her.
Edward Cullen: Last night was the best night of my existence.
