  • WHAT I LIKED: The source material for this penultimate Twilight film throws in a massive curve-ball to the overall plot, and what that does here is make for an interesting development in a story that seemed as though it was rounding itself off a little too quickly. This thankfully involves raising further questions about Bella's decision, but it also brings up more about the overall mythology which is fairly interesting as it all has deeply difficult consequences for the central characters.
    WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: The safe pair of hands of Bill Condon may not have been the best choice here, as he plays the whole mythological side of things with too little mystery and intrigue. Oh, and he also delivers what is undoubtedly the worst scene of the series...
    VERDICT: 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1,' throws in a huge mythological curve-ball, and that's thoroughly interesting to see, but it's not always handled perfectly.
