I really liked it! I was surprised I liked it so much, as it could have gone very wrong - I agree with people who say the movie is better than the book. I was hoping they'd remove a few things from the book that I didn't like - they didn't, they stayed completely faithful to the book, but they successfully toned down some things:
So, I liked it - I want to see it again!
Yes, the amount of blood wasn't realistic, but if you show too much blood it would've gotten an R rating. Hopefully they realease an R-rated DVD version with all the stuff they had to cut to make it PG13.
No one who knows what they're talking about thought it would. Why are people comparing this to DH2? It should be compared to the previous 3 twilight movies, and if you really want to compare it to a Harry Potter movie, then compare it to DH1.
Toxic word of mouth? Everyone I know who's actually seen the movie, has liked it - most fans loved it. Now certain critics, who have always hated Twilight and sat down to watch the movie expecting to hate it - wow guess what, they hated it. That was entirely predictable, what wasn't predictable was the overwhelmingly positive fan reaction. Among all the Twilight fans I know, this is the only movie they all loved.
Breaking Dawn: Part 16.30pm Friday Nov 18thTakapuna Berkley 75/100 (rough guess)$16Trailers:New Year's Eve - my friend said she wanted to see this, but when we saw the trailer thank god she thought it was shit.Hunger Games - I think the reaction was good.War Horse - no noticeable reaction.There might have been another trailer but I can't remember.I really enjoyed the movie! It's difficult for me to give an unbiased review - obviously. It was very faithful to the book, I left the theatre with a smile on my face and I think the crowd reaction was good. There were alot of humorous moments in the movie, most intentional and some not intentional. If you're not a fan you'd probably hate it, but the movie was definitely and unashamedly made for the fans.B
