I gotta be honest, but I'm not too excited for Breaking Dawn. The book was ok up until the Renesmee nonsense started and after that it just got freaking weird and boring. There was no climax or anything really exciting happening. I read the first 3 books in just a few days, but it took me about 2-3 weeks to finish BD because I just couldn't stand it. I'll probably still see the movie, but I'm definitely not as excited as I was/am for the other 3.

I feel like I'm the only Twi-fan who hates BD. Surely I'm not the only one, right?

I'm with you. The more I read, the more I got weirded out. I wasn't happy with the end. I was like, that's it?! The series was definitely a fun read, but as whole I was a little disappointed.

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

I've always been on the fence about BD. I didn't love it but I didn't hate either. I did love Renesmee though, unlike most people I think she's adorable. And I did hate the end with a passion too, because, well nothing happened. But I'm sure there's going to be an epic battle of sorts in the movie.

 

[LoraJ]

I loved BD. I guess I was just so relieved the Bella didn't end up with Jacob. and that they didn't get killed. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading it. I have been rereading the series and I don't read it as much as Twilight and Eclipse though. Just up through the honeymoon. lol.

Exactly! It just weirded me the hell out. I don't know how they are going to translate the birthing scene to the big screen and maintain a pg or even pg-13 rating.

I think she is just weird and creepy. I wonder how they will pull that off in the movie without looking completely cheesy. I hope they do change a bit for the movie because the whole ending will be such a bore if all they are doing is standing around. In the book it really focuses on Bella and her trying to use her ability, but that's all inner monologue, which is not very interesting to watch.

While I was reading it I started off liking it until she got pregnant and I had moments where I did enjoy it after that, but mostly it was just weird. The whole build up was good and I was really looking forward to something happening to pull me out of my boredom...and then nothing. Not a thing freaking happened. And then the book ended and I was left looking a bit like this: I guess since it was the last book I expected something more to happen (like with Harry Potter, now THAT is how you end a series)

Ahh, but perhaps SM only has us believing that BD was the end. Maybe she has another installment up her sleeve. Yes, I too was let down at the end of BD. I like a little climax and resolution. But, the more I have thought about it over time, it's kind of interesting that she didn't give the readers what was expected. Sometimes, things just don't happen. Many more "what ifs" left up to the reader.

On another note, the news today spoke about the rise in Twilight inspired baby names, according to the social security administration. Isabella and Jacob are tops, and Cullen is a fast riser. My dd is an Isabella on her birth certificate, but has been a Bella from day one. But, she was born two years before the book came out, so I can't be accused of getting on that bandwagon! (I actually like the name from Days of Our Lives.) lol

Here's a review from an early screening of Eclipse and once again, I'm dissapointed at many things :/

SPOILERS AHEAD!

My friend was able to attend the Oprah Eclipse screening and this is her experience!!!!! "They tell us that the movie is not complete so be warned that it is rough but they wanted us to be able to see what they have. It starts and there is no sound. And I think boy, they weren't kidding when they said it was rough! But they rewind the movie and start it again. Ha! The music wasn't complete so we don't know what will be on the soundtrack. That will be a good thing for us once it's added and we can watch it with everyone else on June 30. There was a scene when a wolf was animated and there was some scenes with subtitles, too. Also there was some really shaky camera scenes and lighting issues but for the most part it was done.

So I was very surprised that the balance between the Edward and Bella moments and the action was well done. They had ALL the MAJOR Edward and Bella moments but sadly not all the moments we loved from the books but at least they had the MAJOR ones. And of course those scenes were rushed and didn't have exact dialogue like fans would like. BUT I was pleasantly surprised and can be happy with it. So some may say they got it all perfect and others may say they are very upset things were left out! They DID have the leg hitch scene! Oh it was good, hot and SEXY! Their conversation wasn't really the way I remembered it and he doesn't crumble the part of the wrought iron bed to demonstrate how strong he is. They had a LOT of good kissing in the movie which was really lacking in New Moon. Edward was cute and smiling except when Bella was snapping at him or breaking off the kiss for some reason.

Charlie is absolutely perfect! He just nails it everytime and has such spectacular comic relief! Love him! The scene with him and Bella discussing her virginity was AWESOMELY awkward! It could not have been more perfect. And the wolfpack meeting at the bonfire was very well done. Not too long and just enough information given. I like the Jasper backstory. I felt that was done really well and there are a couple of great Alice and Jasper moments! The Rosalie backstory was ALMOST perfect. The Alice kidnapping Bella scenes were left out and that's when Rosalie tells Bella her story. The big problem is they also took out the part where Rosalie tells Bella about going to see her friend Vera and wanting a child like Vera's new baby boy. She fell in love with the child and dreamed of being a mother someday. It's the main reason why she was so upset she was changed into a vampire and

and that is why she's upset with Bella for choosing to give that up. This is a crucial to undersstanding her actions in BD with Renesmee. It just seems like these movies are way more pro Jacob than Edward. They don't seem to understand Jacob winds up with Edward and Bella's daughter so they shouldn't make him seem so much like a hero. SO the biggest thing that is wrong and unacceptable is that Alice never kidnaps Bella when Edward goes hunting. You never get the feeling Bella has to be kept safe from whatever is happening in Seattle. So all of a sudden Jacob is at school talking to Edward about the treaty being broken by Emmett and Jasper and then Bella is mad at Edward for not keeping her clued in. The next thing you know she's on the back of Jacob's motorcycle speeding away from Edward like na na na na na! It makes me so mad! Bella was a brat in the book sometimes but never like that! So it was in your face to Edward! I HATE that part and it was the worst part.

It definitely was not that way in the book! Then there is the tent scene and for the most part it was really good. They left out the "space heater" comment which seemed way wrong to me because they should use all those cute classic lines the fan loved from the books. The dialogue with Edward and Jacob is good but the scene ends abruptly without the standoff between them! I love that part of the book and I'm sad it wasn't in the movie. The part where Jacob and Bella kiss was very upsetting but the really bad part is when Bella goes back to Edward afterwards. The whole conversation is just all wrong! Bella never sheds a tear and she never seems sad by her behavior...that's all wrong!! It's like ooops it just happened. Blech! The hair in this movie is SUPER bad! Everyone just looks so fake that it is comical and very distracting! I burst out laughing once when Peter was on the screen! His hair and makeup were just so poorly done! Edward was the only one that looks good!

Riley is a main character in the movie and definitely has more scenes than the Cullens. But I think they do that to establish him and create tension. I also thought the newborns seemed like zombies at times but it worked for the most part. The action stuff was really cool. I think there needs to be more editing at times because I can see the newborns flying away from the wolves before they even touch them! They need to touch up things like that but it was still really cool. The way they rip up the vampires is also really cool. I really dislike Bryce Dallas Howard as Victoria...she's BAD! Like super horrible acting! The faces she makes is amusing and not scary at all! I can't stand her at all so I was glad she wasn't in the movie that much. There was a kissing scene between her and Riley that made me want to puke. I guess it had to be there to show her fake/planned relationship with him.

So that may seem like a lot of negative stuff but really the Edward and Bella scenes are so good but just too short as usual. The scene when Edward reads Jacob's mind and learns he tried to kiss Bella and she punches him...it is so so so schmexy!!!!! I have always loved angry Edward! No nose pinching but good car screeching and anger! I cried two times at sweet at just how sweet Edward is to Bella. I just love that stuff and that's why I love the books! So all in all I think when this movie is completed it will be the best one so far. When it's completed and the music is added it will even be better. I'm so glad I saw it!" So after hearing her account I feel a lot better about some things and still worried about others. I will reserve my final opinion once I see the movie. Thought I would share her story with all of you and I hope you enjoyed it!

I was sad they didn't change the bike thing from the script. Bella would never do that in front of Edward.

I read a funny article by a BD "hater" who was talking about the complete weirdness of a BD movie.... I'll have to look for the link but the line I remember was, "and of course there's the hot werewolf on baby action" lol I just don't think that's going to translate well.

Yes, I'm sooo mad about that change, you have no idea how. Now my friends who haven't read the books will have more opportunities to hate on Bella.

 

[LoraJ]

Melissa Rosenberg is getting a lot of backlash on her Facebook. And that's before the movie is out. I know I will still like the movie, just that one part bugs me.

Also, as a parent, I thought the 1st and 2nd books were "teen romance" but as the series progressed, Bella made some really stupid decisions that if my DD ever made, I'd brain her. Charlie seemed to take the whole thing awfully well. I'd be like, really not happy about being kept in the dark.

I went to see Nightmare on Elm Street this weekend and was sooo excited that Kellan Lutz was in it! He didn't have a very big part, but he looked really good and played his part well. Just thought I'd let ya'll know!

I saw that this past weekend as well. What a drastic change from Emmett that was! I was expecting him to be in that way longer than he was. He was the only eye candy in the whole thing.

Yeah, I was very disappointed that he only had a small part...but he was scrumptious looking wasn't he!?!?!
