Breaking Dawn

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.

Just got back from this movie, it was amazing...best one so far. I can't believe we have to wait a year to see part 2!

Oh yeah, forgot to come back and say I saw it yesterday.

The makeup and special effects were FANTASTIC! I was really surprised with how they made Kristen Stewart look so scarily skinny.

Can't wait for Part 2!!!

Is this the movie were she's pregnant? I read a review of the movie where
the idea of being pregnant with a nonhuman baby was compared to the old
movie "Rosemary's Baby". In that movie Mia Farrow looked sickly too.

After reading the article, I came away with a new word(to me), it's
"skeeved". Never heard of the word before, but then I'm from an older
generation.

I've never really heard that word, either haha. And, yeah, this is the first part of the final book where she gets pregnant, has the baby, and changes into a vampire. I haven't seen Rosemary's Baby in years, but from what I remember of that film, Kristen Stewart looks way worse than Mia Farrow did. I'm sure it's done with digital effects, and probably some actual makeup thrown in as well. But she looks positively on her death's bed.
