The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Was just what I wanted and it arrived on time. I love this saga of movies I can rewatch an still love every moment of it.

Movie worked great.

Loves this movie 🍿

Where the heck have you been Loca?! Hopefully staying out of the sun and watching The Twilight Saga. You better hang on tight, spider monkey, and name your daughter after the Loch Ness Monster! Cause I guess the wolf's out of the bag, and the lion fell in love with the lamb, and you're watching Twilight! **sparkle* *sparkle**

La volveré a ver, me encantó. Esta saga es perfecta para verla entre parejas.

Bill Condon did an Excellent Job with Breaking Dawn Part 1 by staying close to the book. The wedding scene was beautifully done. I Love Bella's wedding dress very much. The Reception Ceremony was extremely funny with Charlie & Emmett. I truly didn't care about Jessica and her jealousy act. Plus Rene's singing did not catch my attention. I Loved the way Jacob interacted with Bella at her reception until he got angry and almost ruined Bella & Edward's moment due his childish temper even though he was truly looking after Bella's well being. However she is married now and you can't interfere with her decisions. The Honeymoon was Perfect! Now I have to clarify due to critics not having the facts straight. Edward & Bella consumed their marriage twice not once like some people speculated. Their first night Edward felt terrible for the after bruises Bella had from being intimate and made sure to keep Bella busy by the time is was bed time by doing regular site seeing activities. Until Bella finally woke up from a dream of desperation to mate with her husband once again. This is when Edward & Bella conceived. The fact is Edward & Bella slept together twice. Plus also please note Edward is 109 years old not 104. Please read the books before the facts are written. Also, Bella's pregnancy and make-up effects were Spectacular. I was feeling so bad for Bella the way she looked and what the baby was doing to her. The birth scene was extremely scary to watch as a Mother myself knowing this would truly be a lifetime experience to forget having a c-section this way. Plus the imprinting was perfectly explained. However people always love to judge. Please note Jacob is a Protector, Brother and Guardian for the moment until Renesmee turns 16. Then she makes the decision if they stay together more than friends. This is Tribal legend. Plus please note when the wolf pack were speaking in Jacob's mind is through their thoughts. Yes, I know this is a fictional story but please note wolves in real life do communicate mentally they don't speak or turn into humans. So please critics let's just enjoy the movie. This was Perfectly done just like our book was written. I can't wait now to see Breaking Dawn Part 2 on November 16, 2012. There were parts that were edited from the books, and scenes that were shorten to give an accurate explanation. However, I know Summit will make sure these deleted or extended scenes are added in the movie. Plus the mature DVD I know they would release for the adult audience to watch as a Director's Cut.

I saw Breaking Dawn: Part 1 at the theater but never got down to writing a review for it. After finally receiving my Blu-Ray version from Amazon (I'm not going to forget my disappointment when they didn't pre-ship for a LONG time), I decided a review was overdue. I have loved all of the Twilight movies, despite the criticism they have received. I think that Breaking Dawn: Part 1 was the best one so far, although there is a special place in my heart for the first movie. Seeing the characters I loved so much come to life for the first time was so special. I'll never forget how I felt the first time I saw Rob Pattinson as Edward! I thought that this movie could have felt slow, but the director managed to keep it exciting and full of action (even though some of that action was not found in the original story, grrr). I was so happy that there was not part of the movie narrated from Jacob's perspective, like there is in the book. I think it would have really slowed the movie down and changed the tone of it completely. My favorite part of the movie was the wedding: Bella and Edward have been heading towards that wedding since Edward walked into the cafeteria in Twilight. Didn't Bella look so beautiful? Although I did enjoy the honeymoon too... I loved the special effects, especially the way Bella looked while pregnant. She was scary! And I loved the way they handled her transformation. She looked like Snow White: so beautiful! But one question---has Kristen Stewart always been this tiny? She is so, so small. I could not believe how thin she looked in her wedding dress and in her swimsuit on the honeymoon. Overall, I loved Breaking Dawn: Part 1. I can't wait for part two---just the flash-forwards we got of Renesmee were tantalizing and I want to see more of her, and Bella as a vampire!

For those of you who have read the books, it's kind of required to watch the movies. Even though we all know the movie is never as good as the book, we still have hope. Now, if you're in it just to see the cool graphics, clothes, compare your vision to real-life, then fine, this should be a lovely movie for you. You know what's going on and you are prepared to judge the movie. The real test of a book-gone-bigsceen film is if people would still watch it even if the book hadn't been famous beforehand. (Alice In Wonderland, anyone? Eragon?). Sadly, I do not believe this series of films would be a success in that case. If you completely ignore the books, the movie is decent. The graphics are good, but they aren't seamless. You can tell what is fake, and you can see it not matching perfectly with what is real. I'm always annoyed when that happens. It's like those photos you see of people pretending to hold the Statue of Liberty or something in their hand. Yeah it looks cool at first but when you look close it's easy to see you're just holding your hand close to the camera, far away from the object you're pretending to hold. Anyway, if you do factor the books into the equation, the movies really fail. It's not just having a different internal expectation than what is on the screen; it's that basic facts were completely overlooked. What's rule number one of Cullen world? Everyone is perfect. But does that hold true in the movies? Nope! I see sunspots/moles, acne, and general non-attractiveness. Makeup and airbrushing could have solved that, but no one did it. Rule number two? They aren't human. So why do they tremble? Why do their hands shake ever so slightly when they pick things up, just like humans do? Some brushups could have covered that. The whole feel is supposed to be inhuman, but that just doesn't come across at all. Even when they park their cars it isn't perfect. They're just as crooked as the other 'humans'. Again, easy to fix, yet it wasn't done. Ruins the whole effect for me. I expect attentention to detail, and it just isn't there. Next, we move onto errors. Obviously movie people can't just take the book and make it into a movie. That would be too simple, right? They have to add and subtract their own scenes until it all bears just a passing resemblence to the books. Which is fine if you're approaching the movies without first reading the books, but since most of us have all ready read the books... Finally, the actual characters. They fail. Sorry. Let's start with Bella. I've all ways liked Bella. She can be a little whiny, but other than that she's great. She's supposed to be sweet, innocent. Wanting to help everyone and everything. The movie? She's a tough little tomboy. There is no sweetness their. She's like the tough girl in highschool everyone knew, smoking out behind the school, out playin' with the boys all the time. Decent girl, but all ways took herself too seriously. We all knew she'd marry a redneck and spend her days howling at her pack of sons whenever they got to roughhousing, cigarette hanging from her fingers. This is not the Belle portrayed in the book. But it's what you get in the movies. Next we have Edward. He's the same way. You expect Mr. Proper, and you get wanna-be tough chick's boyfriend. His speech is not what you'd expect from a man who was born a century ago. I mean, I don't expect him to be proper at all times, but he at least has to know how to do it when needed, and you just don't get the sense that he does. There's no 'ancient' feel. He isn't special. Moving onto Alice. Seriously, what happened? Tiny little pixie girl has turned into normal sized girl. I mean, she's taller than Bella at times! There's nothing pixie-like about her at all. She's average. Now Carlisle is someone I like. I think his character fits the part very well. His features can convey the sense of perfection the vampires so needed. You actually get an inhuman feel from him. As for the wolves, eh. Graphics could have been better. I've seen better work with dragons, and I'm fairly certain dragons are harder to create than a wolf. You rarely get the feeling that the wolves are really 'there'. They dont' mesh together with the real characters. It breaks the effect. The graphics and sounds were something I expected to be perfection. They weren't. Whenever anyone jumps up to a window, you get this horrible 'whoosh'ing sound, and the graphics fail to make it look real. The running is so terribly awkward as well. I don't care if they think it's how it looks. It just doesn't look real. Believable. And that's about it for the facts that were missed. :D I won't bother to get into how my personal visions didn't match with the big screen. :)

このシリーズは何度観てもいい

Good movie. Arrived on time.

I love these movies,I am a huge Twihard,I have all the movies on DVD an Blu-Ray,I don't have a Blu-Ray player in my bedroom this is why I have them on both DVD and Blu-Ray,an I bought both the DVD and Blu-Ray for Breaking Dawn Part 1 here on Amazon,I also own all the books,Also bought from here on Amazon,but have not read all the books yet,I am a firm believer that books are always better then the movies,an if you read the books first then the movies are not as good,you feel like they left out too much,An I mean they have to or the movies would be 10 hrs long lol,so books are always better,they are more detailed,so I watch the movies first,an then read the books,that way I fall in love with the movies first an then when I read the books it's like getting the better extended version of the movie,I can't wait until part 2 is released,not only so I can see what happens next,but also so I can read the last book,If you are a Twihard then I definitely recommend getting this movie,an if your are not a Twilhard yet you will be,but you have to start at Twilight first,an if you have not read the books yet,I recommend you read them as wel, but watch the movies first,it's a lot better that way,As for Amazon,Huge fan of this site,I buy all my movies,books an more on this site,It's Free shipping,great deals and super fast delivery,I have never had to return or exchange an item yet,Highly recommend both the movie an buying it from this site.since I bought both DVD an Blu-Ray I am reviewing both products,so I will be copying an pasting for the other review,if someone reads the reviews on both the DVD and Blu-ray an see the same review they may think I am not a real customer so just a heads up lol.

Ich habe den Film gestern bei einer Vorpremiere gesehen und mich eeeeewig darauf gefreut! Nun war es soweit und ich kann es gar nicht glauben :) Habe natürlich alle Bücher gelesen und kenne alle bisherigen Filme in- und auswendig ; ) Ich liebe die Twilight-Saga. Den Soundtrack zum neuen Film habe ich mir am Erscheinungstag gleich hier bei Amazon runtergeladen, um (wie bei den anderen Filmen) vorab mit der Musik vertraut zu werden. Der Film ist einfach der Hammer. Eine komplett andere Liga als die 3 Vorgänger - was nicht bedeutet, dass ich die Vorgänger oder diesen Fiilm deshalb weniger mag. Nein, alle Filme gehören dazu und sind genial. Aber dieser Film zeigt neue Horizonte! Ich musste mir oft Tränen verdrücken und dann wieder herzlich lachen. Alle Emotionen sind vertreten. Auch Angst... obwohl ich wusste, was mich erwartet ;) Besonders cool fand ich die Szene in den Flitterwochen: Lustige, fröhliche Momente, unterlegt mit einem tollen Lied (From Now On 2011, The Features). Aber auch in den anderen Szenen sind die Lieder toll eingesetzt. Es passt einfach immer :) Dann hat mich besonders die Szene der Wölfe beeindruckt, als Jacob sich gegen sein Wolfsrudel wendet. Ganz toll gemacht. Laut und einfach mit diesem WOW-Effekt! Die Gedanken der Wölfe so darzustellen, die Kraft und Macht der Wölfe in dieser Sitaution und dann die bedrohlichen Farbeffekte - alles in Rottönen gehalten, so wie ich es in Erinnerung habe. Ganz ganz toll gemacht. Das war sogar meine Lieblingsszene im Film - würde ich sagen (nach dem 1. Mal ansehen). Sehr bedrückend und beängstigend war Bellas Zustand während der Schwangerschaft dargestellt. Sie sah so schlimm aus!!! Krass gemacht (das muss mit PC gemacht worden sein). Und dann die Geburtsszene! Viel Blut, viel Schmerz. Mir wurde dabei wirklich etwas anders. Und hinter mir fiel im Kino tatsächlich eine Zuschauerin in Ohnmacht! Das ist zu viel für einige - definitiv! Aber es gehört dazu - als Leser wusste man es. Ich fand es mitreißend und erstaunlich das mal in Bildern zu sehen! Ein einziges Gefühlschaos. Und dann, als man wirklich denkt, Bella ist tot... Edwards Trauer. Jacobs Trauer. Ich hätte laut losheulen können ;) Und dann die Schmerzen der Verwandlung! Kann wieder nur sagen: Toll dargestellt! Innerlich zerreist es Bella und von außen sieht man nichts. Und dann liegt sie ja erstmal eine Weile so dort. Zumindest ist sie dann gesäubert und in einem schönen blauen Kleid - aber immer noch abgemagert und nicht mehr schön... Und dann wird eine Kameraführung über ihren ganzen Körper gemacht und man sieht, wie sich Körper erholt und sie sich äußerlich verwandelt und wieder eine wunderschöne Gestalt annimmt. Dann ein letzter Zoom auf ihre Augen, die geschlossen sind... Und dann BAM: Sie öffnet ihre roten Augen! Da ist ENDE ;) 1 +++++ für den Film! SUPER! Die Fan Edition ist vorbestellt (freue mich auch wieder sehr auf das hoffentlich üpigge Bonusmaterial!) und ich glaube, ich muss nochmal ins Kino, denn bis April ist es einfach viiiiel zu lange hin!!!

Received what was described very satisfied for my collection
