    Good, but something missing

    by RexDeaver

    I really enjoyed it, but kept feeling like some crucial information was missing. Really light on back story, and that made it hard to understand the motivations of the supporting characters. But excellent performances by the entire cast, and the effects didn't swamp the story.

    Not a Waste of Money

    by l.nwhite

    Did not read the book, but the movie was really entertaining. If you like fantasy things, i'd see it. Way better than twilight because the actors are pretty good, not anything on the oscar level, obviously. The hero guy was likable and the witch girl was not annoying. The movie was kind of like one of the better nicolas sparks books but with magic. Really funny jokes about pop culture.

    Not like the book

    by Divingmama2

    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.

    Enjoyable love story

    by VAwitch

    Knowing Alfre Woodard & Jeremy Irons made this one of interest, along w/ the magical aspect.

    I enjoyed the film more than I expected. There were moments of humor that got good (appropriate) chuckles from the audience. Not too teen-angsty.

    I kept thinking though, that I was looking at a relation of Leonard DeCapprio in the male lead.

    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.

    If you loved the book, you may be disappointed.

    by jenndashney

    I was entertained, but truly disappointed to see that some of my favorite characters from the book had been omitted all together. Marion was missed at the expulsion hearing, and then in the library. Amma as the librarian didn't even make sense. I don't know why they wouldn't find it important to include the best friend of Ethan's mother. In the sequel, will Amma then train the new keeper? Silly.

    Amazing!

    by amills14

    Before I start about the good stuff let me be honest. At first I thought the movie was going to be cheesy and stupid, but I was wrong. I loved the dialogue! The writers did a fantastic job. The actors brought the movie to life, when the movie first started I thought that the accents were bad and the actors were going to screw up the movie, but I never been so wrong in my life. These actors played their characters very well, we're I grown to stand the accent and love the characters. The movie is long though but it is the first movie , it's kinda like Harry Potter it has so much to explain but little time to do it, but it does do a good job explaining what people need to know so they can understand. I didn't know much about this movie and wasn't really planning on going, but I did and I don't regret it. If you go see this movie keep your mind open and remember it is long so be ready for that. I recommend to go see it! It's something different and new.

    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!!!!!!

    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....

    Not disappointed - good teen movie

    by Moose14546

    I?ve read the reviews by those that read the book & honestly, there hasn?t been a movie made that is as good as the book. The details are very rarely if ever close & too many events & people get changed that's why I don?t go to movie if I've read the book. I did not read this book nor did my grand daughter (16 yrs old) and we both thoroughly enjoyed this film. The story line of 2 teens falling in love & overcoming the odds was in the believable category & the film was well acted. It was nice not to have to cringe or be embarrassed by overly sexual acts or fowl language. Pleasant & feel good movie.

    Sleepy at times, but well done overall

    by

    I enjoyed this movie. The plot was interesting, and the actors were fantastic. If you have read the book, keep in mind that novels and cinema are two different genres. This movie was visually entertaining.

    Read the book, it's MUCH Better

    by kubballnut

    I was beyond excited when I saw the preview for this movie. I decided I'd read the book since I love to read. After reading the book, my excitement levels sky-rocketed. Unfortunately, the movie did not live up to the book. The movie left out a lot of the little details that were in the book, important details. I did not like the movie!!!

    Beautiful Creatures

    by

    I enjoyed this movie but was a little dissapointed. I had just finished the book so that colored my experience. There was so much less character development in the film that I really felt it was missing some of the most interesing parts. The bood had a recurring musical theme that was left out of the movie entirely. I really thing it would have enhanced the movie. I know that ti could have been much better.
