It's tough when bad movies happen to good people, and there are a lot of good people involved in this franchise.
There's no pleasure to be had in pointing out how simply bad "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" is.
Again, Stewart out-acts the laughable dialogue but that makes it no less unbelievable. Original title The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1.
