So we're into the final book of the Twilight Saga and it's definitely the one which was going to be the trickiest to translate to a movie.
Breaking Dawn part 1 rejoins the story as Bella and Edward prepare for their wedding.
A lot of time is spent setting up part 2 as we meet a number of friends of the Cullen family who will play a role in the conclusion to the story next year.
The wedding does take up a bit more time that it probably should and we get the warning from Jacob that once she is married Bella will become the enemy. Bella tells Jacob that nothing will change and she isn't planning on becoming a vampire for at least a year.
Things change quickly once the newlyweds reach their honeymoon destination, Isle Esme somewhere off Rio de Janiero. After being warned that consummating the marriage would kill Bella they eventually give it a go, with a few somewhat hilarious scenes.
As the trailer to the movie has given away - and I think they made a mistake there for people who hadn't read the book - Bella miraculously falls pregnant and the baby is a fast grower.
They return to Forks to try and work out what it is that is growing inside her and what threat it might pose. When the wolves decide that the baby poses a threat it forces Jacob to choose between the wolves and the Cullens.
The point in which they split the book was predictable to those who have read it and pretty satisfying really. There is also an extra scene midway through the credits which gives us some direction for the finale.
Look, the Twilight series isn't high art and it has been made with the fans of the series in mind and on that score it is very well done. Like all the other ones there are flaws but with the knowledge of the books you don't notice so much.
A 7.5 out of 10 and hoping that the finale is a 9!
