      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Slow, joyless, and loaded with unintentionally humorous moments, Breaking Dawn Part 1 may satisfy the Twilight faithful, but it's strictly for fans of the franchise.

      Lizz Autostraddle So overall I found the whole experience to be fun because I love to be part of something, but the movie to be so-so... Finally, the movie seemed loooooooooooong. It lasted forever and ever. It was the longest two hour movie ever. Jun 11, 2021 Full Review Roger Moore Tribune News Service The worst film in the "saga." Utter camp. Rated: 1.5/4 Dec 28, 2012 Full Review Monica Castillo Dig Boston I don't want to live on this planet anymore. Mar 10, 2012 Full Review Ezequiel Boetti EscribiendoCine A well-made movie and at times even enjoyable, Breaking Dawn (Part 1) leaves the door open for the fifth and final film in a last scene that was easily previsioned. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review If ranking the Twilight movies, I suppose you could place this one just after the first in terms of quality, but only because New Moon and Eclipse were so awful. Rated: 2/4 Mar 6, 2023 Full Review CJ Sheu Critics at Large If it weren't for Twilight's first-movie advantage, [this film] would take the top spot, because its plot is also entirely to do with Bella and Edward's romance[.] Sep 10, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      sofia_pena3 Absolutely amazing, astounding movie. What a cinematic masterpiece and it has forever changed my lige. #TeamEdward✌🏼😗 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review jay Dude I love Twilight Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/06/22 Full Review Haylee I will forever come watch this movie as long as they keep playing it in theaters Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/22 Full Review Charles C Perhaps one of the more entertaining films in this saga, still manages to be a very poorly made movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Spencer P If you've even seen the series up to this point, you've pretty much committed to the end, and good luck to you. The penultimate Twilight movie may finally move the central relationship forward, but what awaits beyond is an ironically Hallmark-style evolution with next to no action and endlessly stilted dialogue, and to top it off, a horrendous load of embarrassing fantasy storytelling decisions that, while it does end with the bloodiest part of the series, makes no promises for them getting any better. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Jade M THIS IS THE BESTS MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
