Drive-by Post re: Twilight - Breaking Dawn

Hi ladies!  I know I'm rarely on here anymore.  I really want to talk about this though, and I can't on FB. 

So...Breaking Dawn...

I'm suprised by the number of FB friends that have posted they took their tween to see it.  Just reading the book, I thought it was too intense for a tween (or younger, or older even).  Although the movie didn't "show" much ... that honeymoon see was long, and INTENSE.  I have a friend who has a 9 year-old and a 12 year-old and she asked me to give her feedback:  I told her I didn't think they should see it.   I just didn't think there would be a way to cover their eyes for long enough.  Heck...I think 1/3 of the movie was focused on that intenseness (and I'm sure you get my drift).

What do you guys think?

    I'm pretty relaxed about what I let DD see and she ha seen the other 3 movies recently. I didn't and won't take her to see Breaking Dawn.  I'm not comfortable with the honeymoon stuff, baby and then how the baby is born.

    Yea, the birth seen is something else.  When I read it in the book, I didn't think it was that bad.  Seeing it ... I had to close my eyes through most of it.  Yikes.

    I didn't think there was anything wrong with letting tweens see the other ones. This one though.....not so much. It's just too graphic and so much going on.

    When I went to see it there was a dad and his 8 year old daughter (she may have been a bit younger, but definitely no older). I thought it was completely inappropriate. And can I just say, Bella's weight loss was so disturbing to watch...for some reason that was harder to watch than the birth scene.

    I absolutely agree.  I think the other 3 were totally fine for the tweens.  This one - not so much. 

    And the weightloss - that was just crazy.  And I've had an eating disorder.  During the first part, I secretly wished I was that thin (and considered a return to my old food boycott - just being honest).  But by the end, I was freaked out.
