Its time folks. The wedding of the year has arrived. Will's and Kate's big day has been and gone, but we all know that was basically a practice run for the real deal. Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swann's (Kristen Stewart) tying of the knot in the fourth film to come from the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn Part One based on the series of books by American author Stephenie Meyer.
The romance/fantasy film begins with lovestruck werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) receiving his invitation to E&B's big day which results in him running off to Canada in a teen wolf huff. We then find the clumsy but beautiful Bella attempting to walk in her wedding shoes alongside Maid of Honor and soon-to-be Sister-In-Law Vampire Alice Cullen (Ashley Greene). Meanwhile the rest of the Cullen clan prep for the wedding of the century.
A few minutes and a disturbing dream sequence later, the day goes off without a hitch. Until Jacob shows up for one last dance with Bella before she is whisked away to her inevitable new life as a stunningly beautiful undead creature. Edward is going to turn her into a vampire you see. But not until Bella can have her wicked way with him as a human. Which Jacob finds disgusting and takes off into the woods once again.
Bella, not one to let yet another argument with her best friend/love interest Jacob distract from her impending Vampire sex, the young Mrs. Cullen is swept off her feet to the privately owned Island of Isle Esme in Brazil, where the newlyweds get down to business.
A few broken beds, ripped pillows and completely trashed rooms, with some skinny dipping thrown in for good measure, result in Bella's sexual satisfaction. She's on cloud nine. Until she discovers she is in fact with child. A virtually unheard of vampire child.
I was pretty impressed with how quick K-Stew came to realise she was up the duff, considering how ridiculously clueless the character of Bella was previously portrayed. I mean, I actually enjoyed the idea that Edward broke her ribs (accidentally of course) because it forced K-Stew to change her facial expression for once, bringing some life into those dull, boredom filled eyes of hers.
Back on topic then. From here Bella realises Edward wants 'it' out of his wife before it kills her, growing at an accelerated rate and feeding Bella dry (go on son) she calls on the only person she believes will truly protect her. Rosalie Cullen (Nikki Reed). But once Jacob finds out the pair have cut their honeymoon short, a chain of events are set in motion that turn werewolf against werewolf as the Quilette Wolf Tribe believe Bella's unborn sprog is an overwhelming threat to their peaceful, half-naked existence.
Amongst all the drama, Breaking Dawn Part One also included a few throwbacks to what I believe was the best film out of the previous three, the first Catherine Hardwicke directed Twilight. BD showcased the song Edward and Bella danced to at her prom and 'Bella's Lullaby' played quite a few times during the 117min film. There was also a nice little red and white chess scene. A subtle nod to the book's original cover.
I also welcomed Bella and Edward's time as a couple experiencing their new marital bliss. Let's be honest, they haven't had much of a romance, but now after all the drama they can finally let their hair down and in the words of Bruno Mars who features on the film's soundtrack 'have some real nice sex'.
Breaking Dawn, much like the previous two of New Moon and Eclipse, features some hilarious scenes with comedic characters sporting some nicely executed one-liners. The wedding speeches by Emmett Cullen (Kellan Lutz), Charlie Swann (Billy Burke), and Jessica Stanley (Anna Kendrick) are brilliant. Bella/Kristen Stewart's ridiculously awkward attempt to seduce her new husband serve to bring a smile to my face. The naming of Bella and Edward's vampire off-spring, oh and Jacob's awkward 'imprinting' on said vampire off-spring are two other note worthy scenes of hilarity.
As for the birth scene. One word. Revolting. Bella's transformation into a newborn? Wasn't terrible. The magic of airbrushing. I am however not looking forward to seeing a virtually unstoppable, stunningly beautiful, and physically empowered Bella Swann in the final installment. Blah.
Breaking Dawn was directed by Chicago and Dreamgirls director and writer Bill Condon and was released November 18 grossing over 3 million worldwide to date. The second and final installment, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part Two, will be released November 16, 2012 to give Summit Entertainment a further 12 months to milk the franchise for all its worth.
