‘Breaking Dawn’ Dissed By ‘Entertainment Weekly’

Even though they didn’t get respect from the mag, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are laughing all the way to the bank — it’s one of the biggest movies ever!

Breaking Dawn is beloved the world over, but Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are now under attack by one of the biggest movie magazines around!

Entertainment Weekly‘s Lisa Schwarzbaum included the film on her “5 Worst Movies Of 2011″ list, and she wrote a scathing critique of the blockbuster as well.

“That does it,” she writes. “I am so over Bella Swan, especially with Kristen Stewart drooping through the role—the dullest girl ever to be  loved by a  vampire. (She looks pained on an average day; here, during marriage, honeymoon, and the world’s most hideous birth experience, she looks tortured.) And while I’m at it, I’m over this credulous,  dutifully reverent, drawn-out movie adaptation of such an insipid fantasy.  I said it before  and I’ll say it again: You who love The Twilight Saga deserve a much better saga to love!”

Do YOU think Lisa is being WAY too harsh, HollywoodLifers?

EW IS SO STUPID…WHAT DO THEY EXPECT BELLA TO LOOK LIKE,WITH SOMETHING EATING HER FROM THE INSIDE…DO THEY EXPECT HER TO BE DANCING AROUND AND ALL HAPPY WITH THAT GOING ON. AND IF SHE LOOKED SAD ON THE WEDDING DAY,SHE WAS SCARED SILLY,HOW WOULD YOU LOOK IN THAT SITUATION…I THINK KRISTEN PLAYED HER PART JUST THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AND DID A WONDERFUL JOB…YOU GO GIRL,WE LOVE YOU.

hey Lisa!do you have 50+ million in your bank account? oh no you don’t! go hate on it but we’ll still love it. it’s not your money we’re spending watching this movie, so just shut up and let us be.

I love that EW loves to bash in the Twilight Saga… and yet they promote them like CRAZY! How many covers have they given the Twilight trio in the past 3 years? Seems hypocritical to me…

OMG, I just feel like punching you with Forks, and then La Pushing you off a cliff, and because of what you said you B@#%@# Taylor Lautner won’t be there this time to give you a CPR!!! HAH!! Who’s laughing now!!

Why are you such an ignorant, hateful B@#%h? You can say what you want but when its all said and done Kristen is getting a huge payday and you’re still in you little cubicle writing your little articles about other people. Oh Yeah, and 600 million says its great B@#%h.

read the book!!! kstew is supposed to act like that,bella is a girl who doesnt belong in her own world.shes a girl whos fate was much likely geared towards becoming a vampire.
maybe you can say the movie had some downs but its too overrated that you can call it one of the the worst movies of 2011. making the movie was hard for condon because it not easy to fit the hundreds of pages of the book in a 1hr + film!!!

yeah defo harsh, jeez, if they don’t sue her i will, i would hate to be disrespected by my hardwork on a movie to be dissed, to hell with you!

yeah defo harsh, jeez, if they don’t sue her i will, i would hate to be disrespected by my hardwork on a movie to be dissm to hell with!

well i agree i couldnt watch the half of the movie its so unrealistic loved the books hated the movie why did they even made an adaptatiation and bellla is just anoying me :O

To be honest, Bella is such a bland character Kristen has very little to work with, you can’t blame her. And while I generally hate twilight, the film wasn’t too bad, and as far as the books go, I’d choose them over the hunger games anyday.

One thing I’ve noticed wasting my time reading some matter of EW, is that some of the EW columnists ARE FANS OF The Hunger Games, AND HATE the Twilight Saga.

A magazine columnist wrote a matter about THunger Games using a swear-word with the name of Jesus in the middle,to praise the book, when asked in comments why he used the name Jesus in the form of swearing, some said it was because he was a fan of Hunger Games, I thought that was disrespectful.

Are, my sentiments exactly.
What do you, think she meant by ”You who love the Twilight Saga deserve much better to love saga”?

For me, this Lisa wanted to say: ‘Let this Twilight Saga, and
Love The Hunger Games’.

The work of a critic is to give your opinion, but with impartiality, EW FORGOT it, they are very partial lately.

yeah i’d say she’s perfectly justified.. so kristen was emotionless/expressionless the whole movie.. clearly blame the author not the actress… i agree though i think a few parts could she could have showed at least a little expression.. you’re getting married – quit looking so damn miserable!
