Breaking Dawn Part One.

Yes, I did watch Breaking Dawn at midnight last night and I actually, surprisingly, liked it. It is rated PG-13 and yes a few scenes were taken out before it aired moving it down from being rated R. And I'll tell you why. Firstly, it was very much like the book. The couple is on their honeymoon and well.. Anyway. There's a few bedroom scenes where you see lots of shoulders and skin and lots of drawn-out kissing. And there's that ocean scene (which was very similar to that Harry Potter scene in the last one). Also, aside from all the honeymoon bits, there was a scene just before the wedding when Bella has a nightmare and she's standing on all the dead bloody bodies of all the people she knows and blood is seeping out from beneath them. Not a necessary scene but it didn't bother me as much as the other scenes did.

The acting wasn't as cheesy as some of the other ones and the makeup and everything was actually quite good. My sister Jessica, who sat next to me, said "Wow. They actually look really good!" The director took his time with everything and so it wasn't rushed at all. It split exactly where I thought it would and I thought it was super fun when they had Stephenie Meyer attend the wedding! And if you do watch it, be sure to stay for a bit after the credits, there's an important scene that sets up the next movie. So yeah. I liked it, but I think this is one of those movies where I'd just have to say: Watch at your own risk.
