Breaking Dawn

The books were a whole lot better than the movies, but Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner make it worthwhile

. I can't wait to see the movie. Definitely gotta do that soon.

I can't get past watching movies for 10.5 hours! Going to one 80 minute show sets me behind for days, lol!

The books and movies are fluff - nothing more. nothing less. They are an easy escape from reality.

Kristen Stewart annoys me, too. I have always wished they'd gotten someone else, but the chemistry between her and Robert Pattinson has always been incredible, and from what I've heard, that's part of why they got the parts. Despite the fact that neither are in my top twenty favorite actors, the two together really work.

The acting with the main people is not great, but I think it has gotten better, kinda like the Harry Potter movies. Everything about the fourth movie is better than the others, in my opinion.

One thing that really stood out as pretty top notch . . . the makeup (whether it's real or digital, I don't know). Kristen Stewart looks emaciated and TERRIBLE about half way through. It was actually disturbing, because it looked so realistic.

And her dress is remarkable.

The wedding set up is really beautiful, like a dream state. The flowers hanging down are amazing.

I can hardly sit down at home and watch a full movie, but I really like the movie theater experience and especially with a couple of my favorite people, I LOVE it. And, seeing movies that everyone has pretty much already seen hundreds of times haha, is super fun. I love all the little side commentary.

I will wait for DVD or maybe cable for this. I liked the books better than the movies, saw the first one in the theater, but won't bother to spend the money on this one. I have several issues with casting, make-up, and production, but am sure others them enjoyable.

I can't wait for people on Facebook to stop comparing it to the last Harry Potter movie. There is no comparison whatsoever.

I think my brother is making me go see it with him on Wednesday..but I dunno yet.

The comparison is that both stories are fantasies, both based on novels aimed at younger readers, both were huge hits as books and as movies, both split the final book into two movies, etc. It's human nature to compare things you enjoy.

I haven't really seen any comparison of the two stories except when it comes to box office numbers.
