Just as the "Twilight" series of books and films split fans into two camps (Team Edward and Team Jacob, for the uninitiated), the latest film, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1" is dividing movie critics: Many find the film lifeless and silly, but some are content to go along for the ride.
The Times' Betsy Sharkey laments, " 'Breaking Dawn' kinda sucks, in the metaphoric rather than the vampiric sense." Although the highly anticipated wedding sequence between vampire Edward (Robert Pattinson) and human Bella (Kristen Stewart) is "superb in its execution," Sharkey feels Stewart is underused on the whole. Ultimately, both the film (directed by Bill Condon, who did "Dreamgirls") and the script (by Melissa Rosenberg) fail "to mine all the dramatic potential of the symbolic implications of immortality." In terms of the "Twilight" franchise, Sharkey ranks "Breaking Dawn" squarely in the middle of the pack.
