BREAKING DAWN Early Reviews: Bella/Edward Sexless Honeymoon Lame and Disappointing

pregnant  Breaking DawnBill Condon's BREAKING DAWN Gets Strongly Panned: Early Reviews

Below are three  review snippets — all pans — from major trade publications. After reading
Todd McCarthy's take on the film in The Hollywood Reporter (see below), I believe it's clear that there'll be a Special R-rated version of Breaking Dawn on DVD/Blu-ray. According to McCarthy's description of the honeymoon, director Bill Condon and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg may have wanted moviegoers to believe that babies are delivered — or at least genetically engineered — by storks. (Hence, all the feathers in the bedroom on Isle Esme?)

Summit Entertainment, which hasn't been at all lucky outside the Twilight Saga realm (e.g., The Beaver, Source Code, 50/50, Drive Angry, The Three Musketeers), gotta make a living, you know? It's like 20th Century Fox releasing and rereleasing 's Avatar on 2D, 3D, 4D DVD. But wait a sec, didn't Rosenberg and Condon promise there would be rocket-blasting sex scenes in Breaking Dawn? Jeez…

, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner star in Breaking Dawn. Also in the cast: Elizabeth Reaser, Peter Facinelli, Kellan Lutz, Dakota Fanning, Ashley Greene, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed, MyAnna Buring, Booboo Stewart, and Michael Sheen.
