Twilight Saga Part 1

What an amazing beginning of the end for the twilight saga!

As usual Edward is melodramatic, Jacob an angry over achiever, and Bella hard headed and confused. What makes this movie most exciting is how these character aspects finally bring meaning to the plot of the movie. Also, there are new developments in characters that once seemed more as though they were just fill ins and not a real necessity to the story line. Rosalie becomes a true character of the movie, losing that cold hearted (no pun intended) side she finally seems like a real member of the Cullen clan (perfect example of why you should never judge a book by its cover). 

The wolves also play a larger role in this part of the saga. Without giving anything away it must be said that they are the greatest antagonist the series has brought to light thus far. However, with much unexplained with the ways of the wolves the stories ending leaves you feeling unsettled. The whole imprinting thing that they do is left very vague and an explanation of its meaning is far more necessary for the story line than the explanation of knowing how it happens and what a wolf feels when he imprints. 

This movie's apparent purpose is to pull the viewer into the realm of vampirism completely; finally drawing away from the concepts of struggles with love and heartache and what could be perceived as teeny bopper drama, it becomes about a struggle with defining who one is and the importance of their roles in the lives of other characters.

Breaking Dawn has proven itself to be a strong beginning to what should be a great conclusion; making the twilight saga a series to be watched by generations to come.

If you haven't seen the movie yet make sure to stay through the credits the Volturi, as always, make an appearance.
