Review: Breaking Dawn
3 stars.
“Breaking Dawn,” the fourth installment in Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” saga, is divided into two parts. Part I was released on Nov. 18 and the second part will come out next year. “Breaking Dawn” will excite existing “Twilight” fans because it features the long-awaited wedding and honeymoon.
Aside from the visual appeal of the honeymoon spot, Rio de Janeiro, the plot is mediocre and melodramatic. Kristen Stewart’s portrayal of Bella Swan continues her trend of displaying little to no emotion while frequently blinking and never quite closing her mouth all the way. It is almost painful to watch the wedding scene since Stewart displays nothing more than a faint smile.
However, Taylor Lautner shows more promise in his action scenes as Jacob Black. If you are already a “Twilight” fan, then this is what you’ve been waiting for, but don’t be surprised if you are not captured by the underperforming cast and average plot. And if you’re not already a fan, then spend your $10 on a good book.
