Are there any redeeming qualities to this instalment? I think so actually. I'd say of the four Twilight movies so far Breaking Dawn: Part 1 has the most cinematic feel to it, on the other hand there is not much here that made Condon's previous films so good and I'd go as far to say it is the film of his that engaged me the least. Did Condon do a good job directing? For me, I am not sure. Gods and Monsters is amazing and one of my favourites, Kinsey was interesting and Dreamgirls elevated by the soundtrack and cast was quite decent.

I am familiar with his previous films and find him a promising director and writer, finding his films well written, observed and acted. So what was it that got me seeing Breaking Dawn: Part 1 in the first place? The answer was its director, Bill Condon. Breaking Dawn: Part 1 is not quite among the worst of the year and nowhere near among the worst ever, however it suffers from some major problems that I will get to later in the review. As far as the movies, I still think, coming from someone whose knowledge of the books only comes from my sister being a fan and me reading a chapter of one and putting it down, that the best is Eclipse(not saying much) and New Moon the worst. This said, I am indifferent to the franchise. I am neither a Twilight fan or a Twilight detractor.
