Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

DragonSusie Having never personally read the book, and even being unaware that there is a book series until checking out the film, I am only able to rate the film as it stands. I can understand why people would be upset that the film doesn't live up to the books; I have had that several times with book series that I love. Yet it is surprising to see that others would down rate the film on a standalone basis.Granted, even to my Southern English ears I can hear that Jeremy Irons has a terrible Southern US accent. Yet despite that he is still a versatile actor. The film itself is done in a comedic way, even though this is supposed to be a fantasy suspense romance. Even with the moments that made me jump, I ended up laughing at a few of them. And the storyline had me completely enraptured throughout.The ending was heart breaking, yet with funny and positive moments to break you away from the sadness. The ending scene shows that they could easily make a sequel, if they wanted to, but it's just rounded up enough to make it a standalone. And, from what I've now read up about the books, perhaps it's best that way.All in all, a film I'd happily revisit sometime. And it has tempted me enough to check out the books that it's based on!

Stararmour There are a few movies that tackle the concept of love truly magically. I am not talking about unconventional friendships or the such. Rather, the usual boy/ girl romance is dealt with in a recognizable format. The difference is something that is felt more than seen. This is not your usual star crossed lovers fare. There is a beauty in this film that seeps through the entire thing. Lena and Ethan are my new favourite people to watch (amongst many of course). Alice Englert has proved herself many times over by now, and Alden Ehrenreich is an absolute treat. I couldn't be happier he's going to be young Solo. But, I digress. The movie is full of stalwart performances from Viola Davis, Jeremy Irons, and Emma Thompson to name a few. The story line, I believe, is much cropped and chopped from the books, but it holds its own. The effects are alright. Overall, it is the story of the two lovers that holds you. Their chemistry is absolutely brilliant and you really find yourself cheering for them. Ethan Wate is the bumbling village boy who is not as stupid as the others, and Lena is the mysterious beauty from out of town. This is a perfect, modern Romeo-Juliet with a twist of fantasy thrown in.

galahnaser teenager Ethan Wate sees his life tremble by his encounter of Lena Duchannesthe. instantly Ethan feels interested in Lena, maybe even in love with her, but here world just seems to be wrecked.Together, they uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town she has supernatural powers that are beyond her control. Worst still, a curse looms for Lena at the approach of her 16th birthday a time when the forces of either light or dark will claim her.With "Beautiful Creatures," we continue the seemingly inevitable march toward a cinematic America with a population 50 percent human, 50 percent "other," including but not limited to superheroes, mutants, vampires, zombies, werewolves, mummies, fairies, angels, witches, ghosts, demons and the undefined undead.

suite92 Ethan lives in Gatlin, South Carolina and visits high school there. He bemoans the fact that he has little prospect of leaving, and has applied to a number of colleges. The town seems stuck in the past, particularly the Civil War. His mother is dead; his father is next to catatonic. His welfare is looked after by himself (somewhat) and Amma (mostly). One day a new girl arrives in his class, Lena Duchannes. Her family founded the town some centuries ago, and still owns everything of importance in it.Ethan wants to get to know Lena, which immediately creates separation between him and almost all of his former friends in town. Ethan visits Lena at home, which creates immediate tension between him and her uncle, Macon Ravenwood. The Ravenwood/Duchannes clan are gathering at the family compound to witness the coming of age birthday of Lena.So far, this all seems rather ordinary. The fantasy element is that all members of the Ravenwood family are casters; that is, beings who cast magical spells, often with considerable power. At the sixteenth birthday, Ravenwood teenagers reach their full power as casters, and choose between the dark and the light sides of casting. Lena would rather not be a dark caster like her mother Seraphina, but fate seems to have marked her to be such. Ethan would like to be Lena's husband, but has the full opposition of everyone in Lena's family. Amma would like to help Lena and Ethan to their best possible outcome.I've seen this film compared to Twilight, which is odd. This film has good acting and a witty script. I do not remember laughing while plowing through Twilight, but this one is much better. I anticipated some of the outcome, but not all, and the route to get there was a fun ride.
