Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part One Review. (With Spoilers And A Complete Twilight Saga Retrospective)

Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part One (2011)

"Why do you keep watching this ****?"

I'm sure that there are plenty of people asking this question, either to other people who watch the Twilight movies or to themselves. Thinking about the question myself, I think the most likely reason is the batshit insanity of the series.

This latest movie is probably the main reason why I ever started watching the Twilight movies. The main one I've been building up to. This is because the first impetus for watching the films was the following article mocking the sheer bizarreness of the fourth book and insisting that the body horror elements would fit perfectly in a David Cronenberg movie. Count me in, I thought.

So did this entry meet the high standards of a Cronenberg horror? Well, not exactly.

Before I start talking about Breaking Dawn Part One, I think it's necessary to recap my thoughts on the earlier entries.
