Twilight finale split into two movies

Because they are copying from the final Harry Potter movie, which is being split into two movies, but it was being decided to be split into two before Breaking Dawn...*yawn* this means I have to go to the movies four times just to see two movies -_-
 
Great, so now I have to put up with my friends crapping on about it for even longer now.
 
So is the Twilight worth me compromising my integrity and bypass my Mormon ban just to see it???

Or I'm better off continuing my Mormon ban???
 
The first Twilight movie was pretty good.

The second one did not make a lot of sense at some times, but I never read the books and seemed a bit drawn out. I think there was a different director for the second one so maybe that played a part.
 
He doesn't give her a C- Section with his teeth but he does bite her though. Jacob doesn't fall in love with an infant, he imprints on her which is totally random but makes him more of her guardian than lover.

According to Stephanie Myer, the vampires in her novel have skin cells that are hard and reflective like crystal, hence the reason they sparkle in the sun.

I'd rather the last book was split into two movies than sitting for 6 hours. To be honest when reading the novel a part of me had wished she finished it sooner.
 
I neither love or hate Twilight. I've only seen half of the first movie and read the first page of the first book, so I'm not too informed and I don't care about the series.

However, I don't understand the intense obsession or the intense abhorrance of Twilight. It's only a book and movie series, not a philosophy or definition of all vampire entertainment. It seems like the 'cool' thing to do to hate Twilight. If you don't like it, don't see or read it. It's as simple as that.

Whether you worship or loathe it, Twilight will continue to bring in truckloads of money from books, movies, and merchandise sales and Stephanie Meyers will continue to do cartwheels to the bank. Our opinions really don't matter in the grand scheme of things aka money.
 
Wondering why they confined themselves to just two - why not split them into four?! Even more money!!

Oh, so critiquing movies is just some type of made up form of expression? Oh great, I may as well stop watching movies altogether, because my opinion, whether positive or negative, does not matter. I would just always be sitting in the theater as a thoughtless corpse:rolleyes:

I've never read the books, so take this with a grain of salt, but my understanding from talking with other people about them is that they're horribly written and practically mormon propaganda.

I'm the first one to be put off by anything that hides religious meaning or messages but I enjoyed the books because they are a story about Vampires, werewolves and humans thrown into the mix. I'm not a Twihard who would shout "Bite Me" to Robert Pattinson and I don't belong to Team Jacob.

They are the same as any other fiction book, there for entertainment purposes. Some people love them, some hate them and some are in the middle but I do think people who haven't read them should give them a go and see what they think.

To be honest I don't think the movies would be that great to someone who hasn't read the books because even I noticed things that you wouldn't get full meaning out of unless you had.

I think alot of people who have seen the movies and think they are crap but haven't read the books might lean towards actually liking the movies if they had read the books.

Finally, I think its best they split the last book into two films because trying to translate all the detail and full story onto the big screen in anything less would be absolutely detrimental to both.
 
Worked for Kill Bill! (in the sense, two close-releases).

I'm looking forward to the finale, at least we can then move on with our lives.

See. This is what really bugs me. A movie should be able to entertain me on its own. It really shouldn't be necessary to read the book to enjoy the movie.

If a movie doesn't work on its own it just isn't very good.
 
But its inevitable that movies based on books have a better understanding and more depth to them if you've read the books, no?

Maybe its the intent, so that more people actually do go and buy the books?

thats how the last harry potter movie was. he left out so much in the movie, if i hadn't of read the book, i would have been a little confused.

i still don't understand why he made it focus on a love story.

No, I don't think the intent is to get people to read. The intent of movies of that scale is to sell tickets and drive a profit. That's why stories get "dumbed down" in order to appeal to the masses, to sell the most tickets.
 
I'm not sure about splitting the last book into two movies; I mean where can you end the first part. I'd hate it to be at right after she gives birth. But then again I don't want to be sitting in the movie theater the whole day.

I'm not a twi-hard-maniac, but I really do like the books even though it seems soo unrealistic and the writing is not "good,"...I like the connection between Edward and Bella, it's a feel good book I mean """"SPOILER ALERT""""
I mean no major character dies at the end. So I didn't have to feel empty at the end of the book. But that's just me I "like me a sappy-romantic-happy-ending-story."

I didn't mean it was their intent to get people to read, I meant perhaps its their intent for people to buy the books i.e. generate more sales.
 
im kind of upset. i mean breaking dawn doesnt even come out till nov next year so when will the second part come out in freakin 2012? i dont think the books are horribly written at all! and i dont know what mormonism has to do with anything in the twilight world. but anywho, i love twilight and i have read the series 5 times in the last year! my favorite book is new moon! and i think that kristen, rob, and taylor are all beautiful and seem like very sweet people!
