    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!

    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.

    Just ok

    by LiviaL

    Probably a miss cast of main character. Didn't connect with her at all. It was ok, enjoyed other characters in movie, it got boring but picked up, then kinda fell apart in one scene. Wait for on demand.

    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

    Overall good movie

    by mosesrenegade

    This movie has an interesting feel to it. Its a different type of Romantic love story. This movie has a nice charm to it, and is unabashed to take on deep regional religious tones and almost interweave them into a nice story. A good movie for kids and adults in my opinion.

    A improved Twilight

    by universal21

    I only read 54 pages of the book before seeing this powerful witch movie. I did notice a few changes right off the back, Emily loves Ethan for the first 15 minutes of the movie, but never mind that. Ethans dad isn't mentioned once. This story of witcraft largely relies on its two leads, which is good thing because Ethan and Lena have great chemistry. The link character is underused, but the movies villian played by Emma Thompston is perfect. She can go into other peoples bodies and uses powerful words. See the movie because of great characters and story. Its also has great special effects that make the 2hrs and 15mins worth while.

    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.

    I have about had it!

    by

    Alright, so people who have read the book (like myself I might add) are losing their minds! First off, its a 568 page book, so due to time restraints and what not, they cannot get every detail into the film. People need to enjoy the film for the film and stop comparing it to the books! Yes, while it is a book to movie adaptation and the book is exceptional, the movie is also VERY GOOD! The script was amazing, the way that they mixed hilarious elements with those sweet heart felt moments was just great! So shame on all the people who read the book and are now ripping apart the movie, I feel bad that you couldn't enjoy that movie as much as I did!

    The movie wasn't bad but very disappointing!

    by mariahtonkinson

    I'm only putting so-so because it wasn't a bad movie but if you loved the books you may vote a OH NO!!! I loved all of the books. I was so excited to see the movie. Whomever made the movie completely and totally screwed up. Why change something as great as the book. They removed 2 great characters and tried to make it one person. Both characters in the book were a huge part of the story. I can't help but feel sad that it was nothing like I was expecting. BAD JOB!!!!!!

    very surprised

    by curt1116

    So I expected almost nothing from this movie and thought it was going to be nothing more than a rehash of twilight but with witches...oops I mean castors. It was a snowy day and I had already seen everything else so I decided to go just to get out of the house for awhile. Woow was I ever wrong about this movie. As the movie progressed I found myself captured by the playful banter and over all charisma between the two lead actors. I would say this movie was very well casted and all of the actors even though most not very well known will im sure get more roles down the line because of this movie. I would have rated this a must go but I wanted to be fair to the moderate to low movie goer. Fellas great date movie!

    Beautiful Creatures Review

    by grejon6

    This movie was actually very good. I thought that you would just get kind of lost by looking at the previews, but amazingly enough Emmie Rossum came through and blew me away again. Being a very talented actress she's played the Southern Dark Caster very well. I think people who can watch movies hard and follow them, and of course like drama's would love this movie. This movie is not really for kids, not because of violence or language but because it's hard to understand. This movie get's a 4 stars out of 5 for me.

    So bad!!!!

    by enfocusauctions

    This has to be the WORST movie made based on a book I have ever seen. The main character is not likeable at all. He looks and sounds like a hick/jibber idiot. The story was completely changed. I give the book an 8 but the movie gets a 1 at best. I hope they remake it with a different director. This was so bad.

    So-so

    by jtolison

    I have seen the movie and rate it as so-so because the acting was so horrible it could have been real life instead of just a movie. People go to the movies to lose themselves in the story behind the movie and what's going on within the movie. The actors horrible accents and lack of chemistry on set through me off. But at the same time if you like feeling as though this could have actually taken place then this is definitely the movie for you.

    It's definitely for people that like this type of movie....

    by

    I think that this movie did a good job of keeping the attention of those that are already interested. I don't think it will find a broader audience range. Often in this genre directors have to make the pivotal choice between maintaining authenticity and appealing to the (paying) masses. I think that this movie attempted to bridge a gap but ultimately if you aren't already into the genre you won't be converted. I like it.
