Movie Report
About Movie:- Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) are about to marry, and invite Edward's family, which includes Carlisle Cullen (Peter Facinelli), Esme Cullen (Elizabeth Reaser), Alice Cullen (Ashley Greene), Emmett Cullen (Kellan Lutz), Rosalie Hale (Nikki Reed) and Jasper Hale (Jackson Rathbone); as well as Bella's parents, Charlie Swan (Billy Burke) and Renée Dwyer (Sarah Clarke), to the ceremony. Bella's friend, Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), however, becomes devastated upon learning about the wedding and leaves for Canada, returning after the ceremony to congratulate Bella and Edward.
The couple spends their honeymoon at a private island in Brazil, where they have sex for the first time. Due to his passionate lovemaking, Edward inadvertently hurts Bella. Horrified by what he has done, he tells Bella they will not have sex anymore. The newlyweds spend their honeymoon exploring the island and one night, Bella persuades Edward to make love to her again and he finally gives in. The following day, Bella realizes that she's pregnant, and is rushed back to Forks by Edward, where Carlisle confirms that she's pregnant and that the fetus is developing at an accelerated rate because it is a vampire, and will kill Bella. However, she develops maternal feelings towards it and refuses to have an abortion. Bella enlists the help of Rosalie, who has always wanted to have a baby, to protect her and her unborn baby.
Upon learning of Bella's pregnancy, Sam Uley (Chaske Spencer), the alpha male of the werewolf pack, decides to attack the Cullens' house and kill Bella before she can give birth. Jacob stands against him and vows to protect Bella alongside two other werewolves, siblings Seth (Booboo Stewart) and Leah Clearwater (Julia Jones). They guard the house from the werewolves lurking in the woods while the Cullens give Bella blood to quench the fetus's thirst, resulting from it already being half-vampire. When Bella goes into labor, her spine is broken by a very strong kick, and Edward is forced to open her abdomen with his teeth to deliver the baby. Edward confirms that it is a girl, whom Bella names "Renesmee" and passes out. The werewolves attack, but Jacob stops the battle by revealing that he has imprinted on the baby, meaning he'll love her forever, and the werewolf's code dictates the imprinted one of a member of the pack cannot be harmed.
The fourth installment has a better director than the previous three -- Oscar winner Bill Condon scrubs in -- and he has done away with some of the sketchier bits in the series. Edward doesn't glow. Bella isn't always glowering. And Jacob doesn't look like a bad special effect.
