    Just came back from watching Breaking down,, this is the first twilight movie i watched in movie theater ..It’s awsome! Luved it!!! It’s Kristen and Robs chemistry that make this movie exciting,, very simple love story if this was mis cast i don’t think this move will be succesful.. there is something very authentic when watching both of them,, hope they will keep making movies togerher,,

    I went the midnight show as well and had a lot of fun. There were great parts – honeymoon and wedding – and then there were laughable parts – wolves talking and pretty much any time Taylor tries to act, but all and all I think Condon did a good job with what he had to work with.

    Me, too! Loved the movie. Best so far! (although pretty close to the first) $30 million! Show that to the Film Critics!

    Received 25 at Rotten Tomatoes. Can you believe it? I didn’t check the ratings prior to going, and was certain it would get really good reviews. I was certain they’d say “about time” — based on their opinions on the prior ones. What’s up with those “Film Critics”? Perhaps the bulk of them are old fogeys, with opinions formed before ever setting foot in the theater. (disclosure: I’m an old fogey, too.)

    Critics are proving themselves no different from politicians: so far removed from the average person who supposedly “benefits” from their “wise” decisions. Since we can’t vote them out, I say ignore their reviews.

    I go to the movie theater to enjoy a good movie. Get lost in the film for those two hours it gives me. Wonder how many good movies we miss because some snob with a critic’s name tag says its not worth our time. A month ago, I enjoyed 50/50. I enjoyed “Ides of March” two weeks ago. And this week I not only enjoyed, but loved “Breaking Dawn”. Will the critics say there is something wrong with me??

    loved to read the comments.. but, girls, please, try somehow to alert those who has not watched yet:) *spoiler alert* . who cares what Tomatoes think? i don’t. u a right, @Guest, critics hate all things Twilight as if it was their personal sort of poison;)

  • guest

    i donot think that they will ever make a film together. rpattz is packing his bags & guitar already leaving the london apratment. his comment that “he is single,but in love” says it all. the fact that he said “girls like to be claimed” then making this single statement says it all.

    kstew. you cannot change the past. put your past behind you. the past can hurt so either learn from it or run from it. he is not worth a single minute of your thought.
    congratulations on the sucess of bd1

    He wasn’t leaving, he was arriving. Have you ever filled out a tax form? If you aren’t married you click the “single” box. And that is an old quote anyway. Who cares, Rob and Kristen are together in London right now and you can’t handle it. Rob is a good guy, leave him alone.
