TwiHard Spousal Review
PostedNovember 19, 2011

from San Diego, CA
For what it is worth, I am the spouse of a definite Twihard. I attended the morning showing with her, and we both both enjoyed the show for the most part. From my perspective, I do enjoy the books and the movies, and the story is a good one. I felt cheated from this though. After 22 minutes of reviews and commercials in the theater, you slide into the movie. I have one word to describe this flick, "fluffy", as that is how if feels.
It felt as if there were 20-30 minutes of actual storyline here. The rest seemed to be revamped flashback scenes, and needless delays. It is obvious that the studio felt the need to steal more money from the followers, by making Breaking Dawn 2 separate movies, and they couldn't even give you a full 2 hour story to go with it. There were definite plot items from the book that could have been addressed, but weren't.
To put it simply, it is a good flick, it does progress the story to get to the final part of the last bit. The studio is taking advantage of you and your enjoyment of this story by making 2 movies, and not even giving you a full coverage for the value.
My wife did enjoy it, and didn't regret the trip, but I definitely am glad we went to the Matinee and only paid $14 total, and not full price.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Saw this with my wife, enjoyed it. End of story. I read the books, at first to appease, and then found myself enjoying them. This is the best of the 3 movies so far, and did a pretty decent follow along with the book. The actors did a good job, would love to buy a shirt to help Jacob out, to cover up...:) Enjoyed it, found myself getting into it, regardless of the fact that I knew the ending, and it was supposed to be for the women-folk.
Ladies, tell your husbands, or boyfriends, to get over it, and take you, they may enjoy it as well!!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
