    Didn't follow the book

    by Deannaman

    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.

    Excellent - never read the novels

    by EvanCopello

    I am an academic, I don't have much time for fictional readings. The setting and the characters were excellent!!! It felt so real, because the lead actors weren't hyper attractive (Like Twilight) and I didn't recognize them from other films. I loved the deep south feel and religious crazies (kind of like your tyipcal Stephen King religious crazy fanatics)

    I would recommend this to anyone who wants o enjoy a good story with an excellent setting. I hope they continue the series.

    If you haven't read the books than you will very much enjoy this, if you have then go with an open mind!!!!!!

    Enjoyable

    by

    I didn't have high hopes for this movie, but was curious because of the actors involved and the original story material. It definitely surpassed my expectations and although it had some bumpy moments, the young actors were very endearing and the story was well done.

    Better Than Expected

    by WatchItandReviewIt

    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.

    Beautiful Creatures

    by darrlyn

    Beautiful Creatures is a movie that is worth waiting to see on DVD. Didn't expect it to be more of a cute love story than a movie about witch craft.

    Movie Sucked!

    by bingybean

    The best part of the movie was displayed in the previews. It was long, dragged out and completly disappointing. It was so exciting that the man behind me snored through the entire movie. I was never so glad to see credits roll, I knew we should have went and seen Bruce Willis....

    Too many differences from the book

    by rhormby425

    If you haven't read the book don't bother seeing the movie, because it will make no sense to you. It jumped around way too much and was impossible to follow. If you have read the book it will be incredibly disappointing, so many things were changed it was almost like a completely different story. I doubt they will be making the rest of the books, because this one just did not live up to its potential.

    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!

    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!!!!!!

    Beautiful Creatures

    by joegaby

    We saw this movie on Valentines Day and we thoroughly enjoyed the movie. The acting by the young man in the lead role was very engaging. Loved the storyline. The movie was entertaining, can't wait to see the next movie.Cinematography was good. The directing could have been better. I would now like to read the book if there is a book. I would not want young
    kids to view the movie because of the occult content.Can't wait to purchase the video.

    Worst movie ever! I was so disappointed and no, I've not read the book to compare it to. The whole time we were there my husband and I kept telling ourselves, okay, I'm sure its about to get interesting any minute now. But it NEVER really did.

    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.

    Disappointment for Book Fans

    by

    When any film is adapted from a book there are going to be discrepancies and scenes left out, but the Beautiful Creatures film was nothing like the book. First, there is no Marian. She is an essential character and would not have been that hard to include. The film does not include or even explain Ethan's dad. Ridley's character is supposed to help Saraphine during Lena's claiming. In the end Lena is supposed to have one green eye and one gold eye. Finally, I had a huge problem with Lena wiping Ethan's memory of her in the end. Where did that come from?

    The film itself did have good music, and the special effects were really good. However, as a fan of the book, I was disappointed that the film didn't follow the story line more closely.
