I highly respect your opinion. You weren’t all: OMG Twilight doesn’t suck, I love Twilight! You stated your opinions very maturely and you had a lot of points I agreed with. In fact, Kirsten is almost no different than Bella. I never realized that. I wanted her to play Bella initially, but I changed my mind. I wish she was a little but more “softer” in personality (I don’t know if that makes sense. Like, a little bit more feminine and not so blah. I wished they kept her original eye color because the brown eye look is just yeck to me. They didn’t have to do that because Daniel who played Harry Potter remained with brunette hair rather than black. Oh well. I think if they (whom ever they are) weren’t so obsessed with pleasing the tween population the movies might have turned out much better.

This is an outrage. I mean the HP series did it to stay accurate for that long book. Nothing in the forth book of Twilight even matter. This is the epitome of plagiarism!

Here's the thing… Anyone that reads novels and really gets into them are going to want everything they read about on the big screen if a movie does come into fruition. Obviously, most of the time, that doesn't happen. In “Twilight” and “New Moon”, I don't think the movies represented the books as well as they could have, but I thought they were good in and of themselves. To be honest, I don't like the way Kristen Stewart plays “Bella”. That has bugged me from day one. If you notice, the character “Bella” isn't all that different from “Kristen” after watching her in interviews and such. I really don't think playing this part was a stretch for her and it showed. I liked the other actors and thought they did a good job, but she has always bothered me. But, back to my original thought… I do think the last book has enough information and action in it to be separated into two movies. I think trying to squeeze everything into one movie would take a lot of information from the storyline. That is just like Harry Potter. I am a die-hard Potter fan and have been for over 12 years (since the first book came out). I won't choose sides for “Twilight” or “Harry”, but if someone held a gun to my head, it would have to be “Harry”. Hands down. Of course. No doubt. J.K. Rowling's writing, imagery, intelligence, and heart show through in a way that very few authors can get across, putting her up there with some of the greats. Stephanie Meyer is just not on that level yet. No offense, but Jo is simply a better writer, and exceptional writer, and the Potter series are better books. However, I will say that like “Twilight” and “New Moon”, the movies don't do the books justice. I do feel that Meyer is a good writer, however somewhat green. Almost immature. But I thoroughly enjoyed the story she created and all of the characters as well. I read the whole set in less than a week because I couldn't put it down (I'm also a pretty fast reader). Either way, I think Summit execs would be completely justified in turning the last book into 2 movies, and not just to please the die hard fans. I think it's important for everyone to be able to see the whole story played out on screen. There have already been large parts cut from the movies that are pretty important to the plotline so we'll see how they make up for that in the next couple-or few-movies. Personally, I wouldn't mind paying a little extra money to see more of the story played out on screen. My only request would be to get rid of Stewart, but I know that won't happen. Maybe she is a good actress, but I just don't think she does “Bella” justice. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

i think it should be split into two movies. breaking dawn has alot of things going on and very detailed so it will be a good choice. either way i will watch it, because i love the books and the movies.

I definitely think that Breaking Dawn should be made into two movies. The fact that this will obviously benefit Summit financially is irrelevant to me. The storyline of Breaking Dawn is simply too complex to do justice to in one movie. I would be very disappointed if key parts of the story were either rushed or skipped over completely due to time limits. I can’t wait to see the rest of this amazing Saga portrayed on screen. Bring it on!

Please Oh Please split it … as a very deticated fan I must say I understand how hard it must be to lose some of the details going from book to movie but breaking dawn is too long and would lose too much if they didnt split it up …They should end it when jacobs chapter is over…
One of the things I didnt like about new moon was the music was missing …the eyes were too glowy and that line where jacob says… dont get me upset …and bella doing that raising of the eyebrow lol…and the feel wasnt as solem as the first one which I liked its like it made a ton of money and everyones heads blew…the music where was the music…have I mentioned the music… the feel that Catherine Hardwick put in was right on ….I also couldnt stand jaspers hair in new moon was much better in first one…really they all looked really diff …I thought they looked better in the first movie…really truely as a fan please stay close to what stephanie wrote…and the dialog…it is good …I know you have to change stuff ..at the same time I liked so much of it …loved the wearwolf parts …was so glad to see the enormity of them all…action was great …even the humor…some of those little details just make it …keep them all down to earth ..anyways I could go on and on …but theres some of my thoughts! Oh and I also hope they really do that pregnancy / birthing..like the book …so excited for more…even thought they are having different directors If you sat down and watched them all they would need to flow…

I absolutely agree with what Stephanie said. Honestly…the book is just too long and detailed to be fit into just 2 hours. If what they’re saying is true (About how they’re doing this for the fans) then they are making the right choice in splitting it into 2 parts. If they don’t it will be too rushed and everyone that is a true Twilight fan will be extremely pissed off and disappointed. It just makes sense to split it into 2 movies because there also comes the point that it is really 2 different books in one. One part would be telling Jake’s side to everything that is happening and the other is how Bella handles the marraige, the pregnancy, her transition into motherhood, and being a newborn vampire. It just makes sense to be made into 2 movies. I love Twilight and I would be extremely pissed if they tried to stick everything into just 2 hours because there would be just too much detail missing. I would be extremely upset and I know that every other Twilight fan would feel the same way. I do not think they are trying to “milk it”, It’s just the smart way to go with this series. =]

All that will happen is they will end up doing a Harry Potter, by that I mean missing out important parts from the story, I imagine much of Jacobs story will be missed out. I bet they leave the imprinting on the child out of the film!

I totally agree with Stephanie(comment above) in everything she’s said!

But Breaking Dawn is a really huge book, and making it into a movie would be really difficult. It’s a lot bogger than the last instalment of Harry Potter! & it is 3 books all in one i suppose you could put it. Bella first on the honeymoon with Edward getting married etc. (the sex part is completley controversial!! But nothing to worry about- should not be rated any more than a 12 or 15) then there is Jacobs interpretation to consider when Bella is pregnant and her suffering etc. and then there is the third section which is again Bella’s adapting to the life of a vampire and so on.

The movie should definatley be split in two, it would be too difficult and time consuming to be all one film, i dont think I could sit through BD for 4 hours or whatever no matter how much i love it!! As much as I’m going to want it out straight away it is better for the 2 movies and i don’t really believe that it’s just milking the franchise!

As an avid TwiMom I do believe that BD should be made into two movies because there are two complete stories told in the final book. New Moon is about 200 pages shorter than BD, and although I loved the movie and felt that it was about as close as you could get from page to screen, I felt that the story was a little rushed and over too soon.

And.. so why does everyone assume that BD would have to be rated R? I do not feel the book was at all. My 11-year-old has read the whole series and loved as much as I did, as well as my mother and my husand’s grandmother. I did not feel there was anything too descriptive in the book. The actual sex is not even described at all. If basically fades to black (on paper anyway) and picks up after the fact in the next chapter, which leaves it all up to the imagination of the reader. It could be handled much the same way in a movie. I also believe there are other delicate ways to handle the other controverial subject matter.

On another note, thank you to all who feel they have to slam the series and movies. All it does is fuel the fire, and makes it all that much more newsworthy b/c of the controvery it stirs up. Seriously though, for those of you who are really anti-Twlight, why even bother reading the articles or comments? It just shows that you too have some kind of interest in all of this or you wouldn’t waste your time.
