Hanna(h) controversy...Breaking Dawn brought back my insomnia

So if you check out Hannah's blog, you'll see her post about Breaking Dawn part1.  I have a feeling her and I will be doing conjoined videos/posts for a while, it's addicting.

My review will be quite different though.  While Hannah finds gory, bloodlust scenes amusing and entertaining, I find them extremely disturbing.  So you can assume that Renesmee's birth scene was not one of my favorites :/  I still think they made the scene very well, and followed closely to the book - which was my(as well as many other readers') main concern.  I enjoyed the wedding scene, and the wedding dream that Bella had.  It gave us an insight on what Bella's biggest fear was, losing control of her thirst as a newborn.  Many viewers, including myself, preferred her first wedding dress over the second.  As I was told by friends, Edward's taste is more reserved than the first dress.  That is why Bella's real wedding dress (long sleeves, low cut sheer back) was more mature than the first one.  The one part of the movie I dislike was the random fight scene between the werwolves and the vampires directly after Renesmee's birth.  That wasn't in the book, and it was excruciatingly long and drawn out.  If they wanted to add an additional action sequence, they should have made it a more reasonable length.  Over all, I enjoyed the movie, and did see it twice in theaters.  Can't wait to see part 2!  But my next movie to obsess over is Hunger Games to premier on March 23, 2011  .  .  .  may the odds be ever in your favor  :)
