For those who love books and movies, one of the greatest challenges in watching a movie is that it generally is not as well crafted as the underlying book. That wasn't the case with Breaking Dawn. The movie was a streamlined, yet faithful version of the book. The actors were more comfortable than ever in their roles and the special effects necessary to portray Bella as being destroyed from the inside were outstanding. Certainly the story was riveting, with conflicting values, loyalties and needs creating a maelstrom of emotion and plenty of opportunity for character portrayal of angst. Riveting, intricate and, even knowing the ending, absolutely entertaining. Enjoy!
