Eww. I know that's not my best nor most mature word to describe this film, but that's all I can say. Personally, I have read the books, and although they were decent enough, there's was no way I ever thought Breaking Dawn could be split in two, for one reason - the least amount of things that happen are in this one out of the four. How is that even possible for either one to be longer than an hour?

But, oh...it can.

So, Bella and Edward finally are married (first 30 minutes) and they go off to their honeymoon in South America. While there, Bella finds out she's pregnant (next 25 minutes). However, this "fetus" seems to be deadly and Jacob doesn't like that (next 30 minutes). You may feel I'm exaggerating, but unfortunately, I am not.

The acting and writing is awful - I didn't think Taylor Lautner could get worse, but he does with every single film. I shudder to find out what happens in the next film with his character. Characters constantly lack motivation for whatever they're doing. So much of this film doesn't even make sense! Point one: when Bella finds out she's pregnant, the vampires want her to stop it. How exactly is that possible, when it was JUST stated that nothing can even penitrate the womb enough to do anything at all? How can they hold anything against her?

This is one of many plot holes in this film. The only saving grace was the way they made Bella's character look so degrebid in the movie, because they did an even better job than the book. But, if you REALLY love these characters, read the book - it makes a WHOLE lot more sense and you don't constantly keep getting confused by the horrible acting and worse dialouge.
