Breaking Dawn Part 2

Today I went to go see Breaking Dawn Pt. 2. My theater had the Breaking Dawn-themed cups; they seemed to be given out at random, or maybe it's by week. I got the one with the Amazon coven.

I arrived there with plenty of time to spare; before the movie started I had to remind myself: "Do not get hyped up... Do not get hyped up," remembering what happened at part 1.

The first thing that surprised me was the opening credits; there haven't been opening credits since "Twilight." Red, white, and black letters against gray, snowy backdrops. I was dressed appropriately. My t-shirt (which I got from Cafe Press) matched, as well as my socks. But you didn't need to know that, did you? Lol.

After that, you just jump right in with Bella as she adjusts to her new vampire life. It didn't go quite as fast as pt. 1. Bella's more confident. We get some sweet moments with Edward, and see Renesmee grow up quickly. Emmett and Jacob provide the humor.

Then... We jump into the nitty-gritty, the meat of this part of the story. There's a slight condensing involving Bella and a minor character, but it works out. We move rather quickly into the confrontation.

Man. Do we jump into it. And get slapped upside our heads with it. The oxygen got sucked out of the room for a minute. Jaws dropped. Even though some part of you believes it'll be okay, there's still that one minute. After, you are just left going.... "Whoah." But, then again, it makes sense.

But... The ending does wrap things up nicely.

I liked aspects of it. And I liked it as a whole. But I need to see it again to appreciate it fully.

3 Days to Go!

We've got three days to go!  Tomorrow night is the premiere.  Everybody keeps touting the surprise ending- even Taylor Lautner is.  As much as I would love to go the evening of the 15th, I shall have to go the next day.  Got my t-shirt ordered. :)

It's been fun living vicariously through all the FB and Twitter posts from the people at Fan Camp.
