    Beyond Redemption

    by lindslion

    The screenwriter of Beautiful Creatures obviously didn't read the same source material as me. To say he took creative liberties is like saying Hurricane Katrina was only a minor disturbance in New Orleans' night life. There were scenes were I thought I had slept walked into a different movie. I left the theater certain that I had read the wrong book. Either that, or I was clearly intoxicated because I don't know what that was I just saw. Worst movie of 2013.

    Good Movie

    by breez44

    If you read the book you will find the movie a slight departure from the story you read, but it still is a decent movie. I thought the Riley character was played down too much and Lena was too strong. The casting and acting was pretty good. You should see it for yourself.

    Beautiful Creatures

    by stevendbeard

    This is a supernatural teenage love story [No , It's not a 'Twilight' sequel] that takes place in South Carolina [But , It could be trying to attract the 'Twilight' audience] . It's based on a series of books [4 , to the best of my knowledge] about a 15 year old girl that is a witch [but they prefer the term , Caster] and on her 16th birthday , she becomes either good or evil [there is a countdown of the days on her wrist that looks like a tattoo] . Alice plays the young Caster that falls in love with Alden but is afraid that she will hurt him when she changes [she is afraid she will turn evil] . Jeremy is her protective uncle and Emma plays the mother of one of Alden's friends .
    If you like the 'Twilight' movies you should enjoy this one , too [I thought it was a little better than the 'Twilight' movies] . I would probably buy this on DVD .

    major fail

    by midnitethaklown

    this was by far the WORST movie i ever seen... boring, lame, uninteresting, bad script and bad acting. it was a waste of my time and money. at least the trailer looked good thats about it. i give it a ZERO and i dnt think any kids would like this movie at all.

    Not quite the story the book told

    by betrue72

    Although the movie was visually pleasing it didn't quite follow the story line of the book. Scenes were created that weren't part of the book and important things from the book were not touched on. In the end, we looked at each other and said "What the he## was that?" If you haven't read the books you will probably enjoy this movie.

    Good movie but....

    by MLHendricks

    I really enjoyed the movie but I hate when someone fakes a Southern Accent! There are many actors with real accents that could play the part and if you have to fake an accent get the region correct. That was a Mississippi accent not a South Carolina accent we too in the South have different accents for different regions.

    Different than the Book

    by Amberella Esquire

    I think if you've read the book then you will be disappointed. I've read the book and one of the people I saw the movie with also read the book and we kept looking at each during the movie wondering why they made certain things different. I understand that some things from the book are just not possible but some things were seemingly changed for no reason at all. On the other hand, another person that was with us (a man) found the movie to be pretty entertaining. One thing we all agreed on was that the very end was pretty moving. While I didn't like the changes in the story they made to get there I still find myself thinking about the ending. Also, the accents are horrible but they grow on you or rather you get used to them. Though Ethan is not what I pictured in my mind when reading the books he is so darned charming that you can't help but fall in love with him just like Lena did. =)

    Extremely Disappointed

    by Lolovin

    When I first saw previews for this movie I said "WOW! it looks awesome! I better read the book before I see it!" I was beyond disappointed to find out that the movie is NOTHING like the book. They changed characters, forgot characters, and flat out CHANGED things that happened in the book. I hope they don't make a sequel.

    BEAUTIFUL CREATURES

    by kpatton222

    This was the worst movie I have ever seen made from a book. The people did not fit. The story was ruined. Amma was not the librarian, The death of Macon was not done correctly.
    The book of moon's was not found in that way. Lena drove a hearse. Important people were left out.
    DID THE PERSON WRITING THE SCRIPT EVEN READ THE BOOK? I DON'T THINK SO. AND CERTAINLY NOT ANY OF THE OTHER BOOK'S. IMPORTANT PEOPLE WERE LEFT OUT.

    ALL I CAN SAY IS TRASH.

    IF YOU HAVE READ THE BOOK'S, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THE MOVIE, IT IS A REAL DISAPPOINTMENT.

    Really Touching!!

    by movielover_critics

    Everyone has their own opinions. I think this was an amazing movie. Those who have read the book and saw the movie and say they didn't like it, don't understand that movies have time limits and they can't put in all the details thats in book and the way the adaption was made was very creative and good. That being said this movie is really heart warming the acting was phenomenal and you felt like it was really real. The music was fabulous and just everything was really well done. There are somethings I wished they had done differently, but that doesn't really have over all importance to the way I feel about this movie. I think that everything was amazing and really well done. I really hope they make a second movie. If you read the book and want to go see it or are going to go see it remember to keep an open mind, see the movie as if you never read the book, and people who haven't read the book should still go see the movie its really a great movie. This movie will keep you wanting more

    I enjoyed it but I didn't read the book

    by

    My friend and her daughter have read the book so they were so excited to see this movie. I told them that the reviews said people who read the book would be disappointed. Well they were right! My friends did not care for the way the story was told in film. I thought the movie was okay but I thought the editing could be better. The storyline seemed disjointed. but the plot was good and loved the special effects. My friend and her daughter now question if they will see anymore of these movies. Maybe they(directors) should have done it in 2 parts. That way they could have stayed true to the book. Just a heads up that if you want to read the book wait till after you see this movie! LOL

    Beautiful Creatures

    by suemi24

    My husband and i, went to go see Beautiful Creatures on Sunday 2/17/13. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. The outcome was not what we had expected. Would differently recommend it to my family and friends. On a scale of 1-10, I would give it an 8.

    Pretty Good for my family

    by jenniferleighdixon

    My husband, myself, and our 10 year old daughter went to see this for Valentines day. There was not much offered that was family friendly, none of us had read the book. I have to say we were all pleasantly surprised by the movie. Even my husband said it was pretty good!

    Horrible!

    by jbeaumont21

    One of the worst movies I have seen in a long while. No real story line and it was amazing they were able to fill so much time with nothing. Don't waste your time.

    Why?

    by klweltner94

    First off I'm just going to say this; Hollywood needs to learn what to cut and what not to cut from movies that were originally books. Beautiful Creatures is a really good book series; and I was very upset at the fact that in the movie the cut out some of the monumental moments in the book to lead onto the next book. The writers and directors cut out too many of the important parts of the book for me to get into the movie. The entire time I watched it I was saying "they got this wrong" "what were they thinking leaving (fill in scene or person) out" and "ok they at least got that part right". As an avid book lover it pains me to see a really good book turned into a mediocre movie. I'm not saying that the actors weren't good; I'm just saying content and based off of the book; it wasn't a good movie. Now for those that haven't read the series and have no intention of reading them may be confused or like it depending on the person.
