Unlike the prior Twilight films, which offered self-contained and mostly engaging story lines (albeit still guilty pleasure melodrama), the first half of Breaking Dawn is a mishmash of moments that fail to build tension or further develop any of the fan-favorite characters.

Even die-hard fans of the books will likely find that at least two of the more pivotal moments from the printed page do not translate well to the big screen - and, as result, once again reveal glaringly poor production values and uninspired direction in a film series that, cumulatively, has earned Summit Films over $1 billion worldwide. Unfortunately, judging by the events unfolding in Breaking Dawn: Part 1, the answer is no.Īt least half of the film is dominated by one melodramatic scene after another - in place of either interesting character interactions or exciting action - essentially laying ground for the (presumably) more stimulating Part 2. However, can the same be said for fellow-young adult fantasy series Twilightand the debut of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1? As the longest entry in Stephenie Meyer's book series but is there enough material in the final chapter in the Twilight Saga to fill two feature length films? While audiences were initially skeptical of the idea when it was introduced with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, the success of the final two Potter films (both commercially and critically) seemingly justified the extra trip to the theater. Two-part finales have become a go-to approach for studios to milk extra money out of fan-favorite young adult franchises - and arguably a way to give lengthier final book installments a bit more room to wrap everything up. Here are the 20 Details Behind The Making Of Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 & 2.The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 succeeds in transferring the key events from its source material onto the screen, but fails at translating those events into a competent two-hour film. With the cast and crew spending five years together to bring us the Twilight movies, you can bet there must have been some emotional moments on set. We delve behind the scenes to reveal what Kristen Stewart’s last day on set was really like, how some of the epic CGI was achieved, and Robert Pattinson’s eye-watering pay packet.
Fans were also given a seriously turbo charged battle scene that was absent from the books – even if it just turned out to be one of Alice’s vision. Loyal viewers are rewarded with Edward and Bella’s wedding, a honeymoon in Brazil, and Renesmee's birth, which had to be carefully negotiated in order for the film to get the all-important PG-13 rating. Incredibly, the movies stick close to the original novel. Its follow up, and the final instalment on the franchise, Breaking Dawn – Part 2, did even better, scoring a mammoth $141 million during its opening weekend the following year. Financially, the decision paid off: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 chomped down on a $138 million opening weekend at the U.S. Producers wisely – or cynically – decided to split the final book into two movies.
Stephenie Meyers’ original novel clocks in at over 750 pages, as Edward and Bella’s romance reaches its finale. Spread over two films, and coming in at almost five hours, the movies follow Bella and Edward as they get hitched and start a family together – however, of course, there are some pretty huge complications that get in the way of their domestic bliss. The Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 & 2 movies are the epic conclusion of the Twilight Saga.
