Reviews
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Bob An It was on TV so I gave it a go as the main 2 roles are some beautiful people. Haha - not a very interesting reason to watch, but...Overall, the film is ok. Of course, C T will be shirtless in a film - surfing is a good excuse for walking around shirtless - I do not complain - just saying. He could have been better as a fisherman or smth at sea than military guy. She was just good in her role - those eyes kinda make her believable.I loved 'the twist' with a letter with which the film starts. I thought it was a mistake as I was thinking it was for the girl, but I was wrong...All in all, ok film for an evening entertainment.
elizamayxxx This film truly was amazing the story line kept pulling me in. I sobbed through many scenes in a good way. It makes you feel things and inspires you to fall in love. Many will say it's cliche or it's the same as any other film but I disagree this film is everything right with the world.
saletehnolog The story of the movie is extremely good. Sparks also showed the skill in this case. Still, I can not say that I liked this almost two hours. According to me, the main and serious lack of performance occurs when John receives a letter from Savannah that she believes. This is something that in my opinion the whole movie was taken in one direction that is completely wrong. First, I can not imagine that you love someone and you believe in the other way you have sworn in love. Second, more importantly. I'm sure it would be absolutely unrealistic to expect that they will be together after its release. Let's not forget, the two of them decided to return to the field and practically she betrayed him at the moment when he needed it most. As hard as it was, it was harder for him. He is a soldier, whose head was in his bag every day. Every letter from her, for him was the light in total darkness and chaos. It would be much better if the film was made to follow their common story while it is on one side of the earth, and it is on the other. And so until the final merger. There was room to do something like that and make a story that is happening in reality. Music in the movie is extraordinary. The movie would surely have gotten a much higher rating, only that the action was first found in the last third of the film.7,1/10
vaarmen OK, I read the book which was good but not great. After reading the book the movie is outright horrible. I don't even know I would understand what was going on in the movie if I hadn't read the book.The movie gets so many things from the book wrong - the characters, pivot points, key scenes and it does so in a ridiculous way. Add to this the terrible acting of Channing Tatum and the guy that plays Tim, and even Savannah and you get a mess.Some of the WTFs from the movie. Tim is Alan's father in the movie. WTF? Tim plays an awkward, ridiculous nice man whereas he is a confident, manly but still nice in the book. It is not shown and is unclear the previous relationship of Savannah and Tim. How Tim has always loved Savannah without her knowing. The character of John in the movie is such a pussy, especially the way he acts. The time-line seems to be a few months rather than years. In these few months Savannah marries Tim because he was sick? and he needed her? WTFThis could have been a slightly worse than an OK movie had I not read the book, but after the book its just horrible.
