Breaking Dawn Part Two
Here goes the finale of the saga that’s been well loved and well loathed. I wouldn’t lie, I was blinded by the first movie given that I’m totally hooked to Robert Pattinson during my HS days, but as the series concludes, my interest bubbled down, though I can say that the last two films were quite an improvement compared to the first three installments.
There are less over-the-top intimacy between Edward and Bella. That’s great because it’s kinda awkward to watch them spontaneously doing that for 1) goodness sake! Renesmee and the “war” should be more focused on and 2) you’ll just think about KStew digging RPattz and her SNATHM director at the same time.
The war scene or whatever you want to call it is fiercely cool, I approve Dakota Fanning, Alice Green and Kellan Lutz and I love that this movie also means Breaking Heads. Renesmee’s early childhood computer-generated features turned me off. Carlisle’s friends have amazing in-born powers with them and they’re so cool to be vampires’.
As usual, the official soundtrack left me LSS-ed. From Decode to Flightless Bird, American Mouth (personal favorite) to A Thousand Years, this saga offered OST powerhouse, how I wish the whole story’s the same too but I think it’s too much to ask *sarcasm*. Breaking Dawn’s climax is anti-climatic. Irony well laid. Great mind-boggling move for the director of this film. My left thumb’s facing the ceiling, the other one’s thinking if it should too. It’s not epic, but it was nice.
Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
![The Hunger Games
Stunning adaptation. I was truly captured by the way the characters (their outfits included), places and events (from austere to gory to excruciating heights of excitement) was finally made into motion picture. I mean, some exceeded the things I’ve imagined like the Training Center, Arena and The Capitol that were such wonderful, wonderful sights.
I liked the way Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson portrayed the main protagonists of the story, add to that the natural humor of Woody Harrelson. And yeah, Alexander Ludwig & Liam Hemsworth (Cato & Gale) were hot. The selected actors & actresses gave justice to the characters, fair enough, they’re too many to praise and mention. For a PG-13 movie, I was satisfied with the blood that gush out throughout the movie. It has been loyal as possible to the book and I appreciate it.
There were just some things that disappointed me, though. First, the story of the Mockingjay Pin being cut and changed ‘cause I know it’s a vital part for the whole series. Second, The scene where Rue died wasn’t that tear-jerky but it still reached to my senses. Third, why only two kisses [Peeta & Katniss]? HAHA! Fourth, Katniss’s struggle to know her true feelings for Peeta wasn’t emphasized.
I have read the book prior to watching the movie so I clearly decided not to raise the bar of my expectations so high because there’s the fact that you can’t squeeze all tons of information from the book in a two-hour flick.
To sum it up, I was impressed and blown away by this movie. Definitely one of the best movies—even though it’s too early to say—of this year. Two thumbs up! Can’t wait for Catching Fire!!! :)
