But the movie ultimately lacks the book's delightful whimsy and much of the sly verbal humor that made Rowling's tales so charming.”īut then Columbus left after “Secrets,” and the next movie in the series, “ Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” was directed by Alfonso Cuaron. Harry Potter, the film, looks just as dazzling as readers of Rowling's captivating book might hope. “But one can be faithful to a plot without being faithful to the book.

Twilight breaking dawn part i series#
The first two movies in the eight-part series were directed by “ Home Alone” helmer Chris Columbus and are fine, but you could almost feel the desperation in “Sorcerer’s Stone” and “Chamber of Secrets” to pack everything in, make sure no moment was missed, get as close an adaptation as possible. Of course, while this scene was not actually a change to the plotline (it’s referenced in the books that Aro is made to see the vision, though the reader only hears about it afterwards), some fans still didn’t like it.Ĭase in point: the “ Harry Potter” films, an almost parallel case in terms of how attached fans are to the books (and a franchise I happen to like a lot more than “Twilight” – sorry, fans). This helps convince the head evil vampire ( Michael Sheen, who by all accounts goes gloriously crazy as bad vampire Aro in this movie) to call off the battle. One of the good vampires, who can see the future, has shown the vision to the leader of the evil vampires to show him what the cost of the two sides fighting would be. Then it turns out that this was all a vision, a hypothetical situation, if you will. At one point, it looks like a fight begins and Edward’s foster father, one of his foster brothers, and the leader of the evil vampires, among others, bite the dust (no pun intended) in the attack. You see, to make a very long story short, the end of “Dawn” has Bella, Edward, and their vampire family facing off against evil vampires. Would something be different? Would the ending be changed? Would protagonist Bella Swan (Stewart) end up with someone besides her vampire husband Edward (Pattinson)? What did it mean?Īnd now the movie, “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2” (ask film critics how happy they are not to have to type that out anymore) has been released, and it was discovered that, while there was a twist, it didn’t affect the outcome of the story as a whole, though it did get the audience on the edge of their seats.
A twist? There was no twist in the books. (Warning: Spoilers for part of “ The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2" ahead.)Īfter stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner took part in various interviews as part of a "Breaking Dawn" media blitz, the Internet started buzzing about hints the actors had dropped about a twist in the last movie of the “ Twilight” series.
