    If you liked the movie "The Craft" you will love the movie [just like I do]

    by

    I almost didn't go see this movie based on ratings, but I'm glad that I decided to go for it regardless. This movie makes for a great story, delivers excellent acting, and an interesting plot. The whole good versus evil plays a key role in this flick. The story focuses on this girl that happens to be the outcast in a small town. It also brings religion in the flick and provides quality entertainment. What could have been a soap opera isn't thanks to the humor throughout the movie. I like that the cast isn't A listers, because it helps to draw the viewers into that world. Almost anyone can relate to the story in some way. The characters are strong and have their own personalities. If anything, Beautiful Creatures is highly underrated and is a must see. Even if you miss this one in theaters, make this one first on your "must see" rental. Its' worth it.

    Lost

    This movie was an okay movie.. but the problem was me and my friends were like lost the whole movie. The ending started to make since but overall not the best movie to go watch. Unless your a good thinker. The setting and fantasy things were amazing!

    really loved it.

    by

    This film was very Twilight/Hunger Game/Harry Potter-esque. It's the new novel to film franchise that could blow up just like the previous mentioned. However the story is told from the male's point of view and it's kind of refreshing to see things switched up. There's still the mystical element, witchcraft but the way its done kind of cheesy but nothing we've seen before. I also really enjoy the Southern element, the film takes place in a fictional South Carolina town, filled with overly religious townspeople. Typical love story, some clever comedy and very intriguing use of word play. Overall, see it, I really enjoyed it and I hope they can make the sequels, I'd love to see another franchise pop up.

    Not like the book

    Both my 11 year old daughter and I have read the books. While I was disappointed with the many differences between the book and the movie, my daughter still thought it was pretty good. If you love the books, I think you might be a little disappointed.

    Beautiful Creatures

    by

    Well Although I went into the theater excited to see the movie. I left utterly disappointed. I have read the entire series and couldn't wait to see the story brought to life. Now I understand the movie will NEVER be as good as the book. I know this as fact. But I have never seen a movie that has strayed this far from the book. For me it ruined the movie. I found it hard to like it at all.. If you haven't read the book. you may love it.. IF you did be forewarned.

    It hurts me to say this about a movie about a book i really loved

    by kellyg7

    I have two main things to say. 1) not like the book. And i dont mean ok they left out some stuff just to simplify things. They left out marian. Really? And just went ahead and made Amma the Keeper? Ugh... And the ending of the movie - HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?!?!? 2) that absolute darling of a nerdy-but-hot beatnik-y boy/man was wonderful. i cannot wait to see him in other things, he's going to be great. i dont think his portrayal of Ethan was necessarily true to the book. He came across as charming, outgoing, etc. Ethan in the book seemed much more introspective, quiet. But i liked it. Like REALLY liked it. He was perhaps a more likeable Ethan than the character in the book. Kudos to him.

    A Beautiful Film

    I'll admit, I was expecting Twilight-lite when I bought tickets for my girlfriend and I. What we got was an imminently more believable and better crafted romance (and movie!). The two lead characters have incredible screen chemistry and the sleepy town in which the film is set comes across as some place you'd want to live. The music is absolutely phenomenal and the cinematography is top notch. A total pleasant surprise from front to back, including a twist ending that actually made sense and that I didn't see coming. I'm sure it won't reach Hunger Games or Twilight status, but not for lack of film here - this is easily the best of the "young adult" movies that has come out so far. Definitely see it in theaters.

    Better Than Expected

    I get why people don't like it, because it missed out on lots of vital things from the book... But to be honest, I didn't like book and I really enjoyed the movie. It was funny, but dramatic and all around not at all as ridiculous as I thought it was going to be. Great movie, and good way to portray witches in a new way that appeals to teens. I'm not a fan of romance anything and I will probably end up going to go see it again. I suggest you go see it in the theaters for the full experience while you still can.

    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.

    Trailer not representative of the actual movie

    First off if all you know if this movie is the Trailers, go learn a bit about the movie before you watch it or prepare to be disappointed as I was.

    That being said, it wasn't a bad movie. It was a fairly good teen romance movie all things considered, what it was not was a fun action filled magical romp.

    Didn't follow the book

    Well the movie was still good but for those of us that read the book there are missing key characters so don't be surprised if you do go...I am not sure about the creative team on this one if they were on a budget or just trying to keep the movie under 2 hours like the first movie in the Twilight series there may be hope if they don't skimp on the necessary details in the book to build these characters properly.

    -_-

    I remember watching The Hunger Games and thinking, wow, they did not stick with the source material and missing all the important stuff. Compared to Beautiful Creatures, that movie was a masterpiece. As a fan of the Castor Chronicles, I have to say DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. If you loved the books, you will HATE this movie. I know no book to movie adaption will ever be like the book. But this movie didn't even have the essence that made Beautiful Creatures such a good book.The direction is awful. The script is HORRIBLE. Just. don't see this movie. These people don't deserve your money.

    Good over all...

    I loved it but I must say that it was different (in many ways) from the book but it's not a bad thing (in this case). If you haven't read the book I think you should, and if you haven't seen the movie then you MUST GO!

    I was an extra in this movie.

    by

    So, I am in extra in this movie. After I played my part in this movie, I bought the series and read all 4 books. Last night, I saw the movie and I did like it. But... I will say that it is completely different from the book itself. I am not sure how they will have a sequel because it is impossible with the lack of characters in the movie that play a big role in the next books. The movie was very humorous.. such humorous that it reminded me of a parody. Personally, it was a little insulting the fact that the director felt he had to change so much, but the writers seemed to like the movie so I am content with the movie. Anyways, good movie.. funny. Loved the chemistry between the actors/actresses.

    If you have not read this book, you will find the movie to be hilarious, cute, and touching.

    If you have read the book, you will either hate it or love it.
