Breaking Dawn Part 2

So this one continues exactly off the back of the last one.  Bella is still annoying beyond belief (not helped by Kristen Stewart sighing after every sentence), Edward  is still smug and annoying.  The Volturi are back finally and there is a pretty epic battle which is what this series has been calling out for but too little too late and then they hit you with the biggest stinker in the world of script/story writing... SPOILER ALERT... oh but that didn't really happen, aka it was all a dream and everyone is fine and in love and the world is wonderful (wow that's original, no one's done that before... oh wait... no, it's been done to death)!!!  Unacceptable and frankly I don't know why I am even surprised.  At least it's all over now!

Film 304/365, Day 329/365 – Breaking Dawn Part 1

It’s not for guys... much like a Yorkie is not for girls, well this series is the anti-Yorkie.  I didn’t exactly hate it but couldn’t find anything that made me like it.  One of the worst moments was the Disney-esque scene with the wolves.  I’ve been told that Michael Sheen’s character will make a reappearance in the next part which is long overdue in my opinion.

Synopsis:  Bella and Edward have got married and are going to an isolated island near Brazil for their honeymoon.  Things there are complicated and get much worse when it appears that Bella is pregnant!  They hurry back to Forks but the wolves are not happy about the latest development.

Film 301/365, Day 327/365 – Eclipse

The pale melodramatic teenagers are back, but thankfully so are the wolves and this time there is a vampire army to deal with which gets a big thumbs up from me.  Sadly no Michael Sheen in this one and whilst the story isn’t awful I have decided that it is the two main characters that are my biggest problem with it, Bella and Edward, that and teenage love stories... teenagers fall in love every other week, get over it already!

Synopsis:  Victoria is so determined to avenge James by killing Bella that she is developing a vampire army to attack the Cullens.  With Bella in the firing line the wolves form a temporary alliance with the vampires so as to protect her from the advancing army.

Film 299/365, Day 326/365 – New Moon

Yet more pale melodramatic teenagers however this time there are some redeeming features. The introduction of the wolves, Indian werewolves I can cope with although I am still struggling with sparkly vampires.  That said Michael Sheen’s character was excellent but I still cannot stand Bella, worst character ever!

Synopsis:  After an incident involving Jasper and Bella, Edward decides it’s safer for Bella if his family moved away.  So they do, leaving Bella empty until she rekindles her friendship with Jacob, however Jacob has his own secrets.

Film 297/365, Day 324/365 – Twilight

If you enjoy pale teenage kids who exhale far too much, then you will love this!!!  If however like me you like your vampires to be evil, devious and wicked and not sparkly then probably not!!!  The defining moment is when Bella’s goes on Google to find a book about Indian legends, then goes and buys the book, gets home and then Googles it anyway...

Synopsis:  Bella has moved to Forks to live with her dad.  There she meets Edward, a strange boy who seems like her one minute and not the next.  But Edward has a dark secret that will turn Bella’s world upside down.
