'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1' starring Taylor Lautner - Jacob trailer review

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 - Jacob Trailer

Directed by: Bill Condon Starring: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner Rating: PG-13 Release Date: November 18, 2011

TRAILER SCORE: 3/10

Thoughts by TSR: Full disclosure, I've read Breaking Dawn so I know the full amount of crazy that's about to be unleashed on the viewing public. Part 2 will probably be the best Twilight film, for reasons I can't disclose due to massive spoilerage. I love to explain the plot of Breaking Dawn to non-Twilight fans, they generally don't believe me. Because it's that insane. Unfortunately, this trailer doesn't highlight the crazy, but rather Lautner's wooden portrayal of Jacob. Before you go crazy on me, Jacob was always described as being a man, and Lautner is a boy with shockingly good abs. Also, his acting hasn't improved since the first film, he has the same expression in every shot of the trailer, and it just looks blank. Jacob is mad: blank. Jacob is in love: blank.

Don't hate me, but this just doesn't look good. Wait for the Hunger Games instead, a much better book with a decent cast.
