Slow, joyless, and loaded with unintentionally humorous moments, Breaking Dawn Part 1 may satisfy the Twilight faithful, but it's strictly for fans of the franchise.

What remains is the total conviction that the ludicrous scenes are dead serious and fiercely meaningful. The result is not quite a laugh a minute, but close.

If you insist on seeing the entire, seemingly never-ending 117 minutes, though, you're going to spend at least 87 of those minutes bored out of your mind.

The Twilight Saga hasn't matured along with its heroine. In fact, the latest movie regresses a bit, delivering more filler, less feeling and crummier CGI than last year's Eclipse. The Razzie Awards committee will have a field day with this movie.

It's based on a series of truly idiotic novels which, whilst works of an evil marketing genius, are artistic pollutants. Try and avoid getting dragged along to this one.

The sexless, bloodless, padded and plodding Breaking Dawn, Part 1 is the worst Twilight movie to date.

What's not so good: a drippy, flutey orchestral score that sounds forcefully extracted from a Halllmark movie; Lautner's hardcore attempts at crying; the way Peter Facinelli looks like he just survived a face-plant on a bakery floor.

Romanticizing an intimate relationship that leaves bruises and scars is a particularly terrible idea in a film aimed at girls. Talking about this is tiresome, but then so is putting it in the movie.
