i completely agree that breaking dawn should be one movie, if there were a way to get everything in one of course, i'd sure as hell sit and watch it for however long it is even if its 4 hours!

I agree, one movie. Two (no offense) would be kind of boring. What would you use all that time for? The family bonding with Renesme? Bella drinking blood and being sick/pregnant for 45 min? But I think it should be of epic length to get all the content in. 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
