Amy Jade 20-11-2014 09:11 PM

The Fault in our Stars is one of the best movies of the year :love:

LukeB 21-11-2014 01:14 AM

I might have to miss this film i'm afraid, i have reasons but i don't want to discuss, I See how i feel (my friend told me what happened and it just put me off)

Ramsay 21-11-2014 01:17 AM

6/10
I just couldn't get into it really i mean i know it was sad but mehhhh..
Spoiler:

suppose it was good that it ended up being Gus that died, was full expecting Hazel to die at the end tbh. nice ending though, Willem Dafoe was fairly random :laugh:

I'm moving out today so won't have internet for the next week or so i'd say. so best to leave me out of picking the next movie Locke.

5/10

I liked the book but I felt that the film amplified some of the more pretentious parts of it while watering down some of the best bits. I thought Shailene Woodley put in a good performance as Hazel but everyone else were kind of bleh.

Niamh. 21-11-2014 03:23 PM

I have about 15 minutes left of this to watch, will get it done before sunday

JoshBB 21-11-2014 03:33 PM

Sign me up! Also, I will watch the movie tonight hopefully. If not, tomorrow.

LukeB 21-11-2014 08:55 PM

8/10 - Finally plucked up the courage and watched this film. The main female and male :clap1: Their acting was spot on! The storyline was really good and isn't like your typical love story film. Some scenes did make me cry a little but I won't discuss them on the review because I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

Locke. 21-11-2014 08:57 PM

6 reviews so far, I expect double figures by this time tomorrow night :idc:

Ammi 22-11-2014 04:35 AM

..sorry I didn't post ratings yet, Locke but I did watch them both...


..Boyhood 10/10...just really quite perfect although I do agree that it could have been around 20 minutes shorter...it really was a 'nostalgia' journey in that I could relate both to them as teenagers and also to the mum as well....'I'm so happy you were born' as he was going off with his dad..yeah, that's me..much to the embarrassment of my children...I loved how Ethan had a haircut, grew a moustache and became 'sensible dad'...I also loved the conversation they had when he sold his classic car.....loved, loved, loved it....

Ammi 22-11-2014 04:37 AM

..Fault in Our Stars....hmmm, really not my kind of movie at all although the two young leads were very endearing so that made it a bit more watchable and Willem Dafoe is always so watchable...5/10, I guess....

Udanax 22-11-2014 08:59 AM

Is it too late to sign up..? Because I'm literally just about to watch this film

Nope, anyone can sign up whenever they want

Raph 22-11-2014 05:43 PM

8/10. Didn't think I would like it as i'm not too keen on films like this but it was pretty well executed. I really liked the performance of Ansel Elgort in particular. Having not read the book, I suppose I was less critical about it, but I did really enjoy the film. My main criticism though was that I got bored and just wanted it to end towards the end :laugh:

Raph 22-11-2014 05:45 PM

Purdy, you updating the average boyhood score?

Niamh. 22-11-2014 06:28 PM

The Fault in Our Stars

I enjoyed this and didn't enjoy it all at once, It was better than I was expecting but it was really sad and depressing at the same time. I'm finding it really hard to give it a rating :think: I think I'll go with 7/10

LukeB 22-11-2014 06:29 PM

I hope I'm chosen on the random thing tomorrow :flutter:
I have a great film

Udanax 22-11-2014 11:49 PM

6/10 -
I don't think it's terrible, I just think it fails to capture the magic of the book. The 2 main characters (Hazel and Gus) seemed 2-dimensional and not as raw'n'rull as their book forms. Idk. It's supposed to be a tragic love story and it felt more like a romcom to me, which would be fine if it was funny and still worked with the overall theme but it never really made me laugh. I also feel like the book was trying to appeal to the tumblr/twitter-fanbase which made moments like kissing in Anne Frank's house feel less emotive and more nauseating saccharine.

LukeB 23-11-2014 09:45 PM

who choses the next film?

Black Dagger 23-11-2014 09:56 PM

6/10

I do like a good romance and the acting was quite impressive, Shaileen in particular, can't wait to watch some more of her work, but it all fell a bit flat for me, the storyline was sad blah blah and the ending especially but it just didn't entice me like a superb movie does, I kept dipping in and out. So this will have to do from me!

Jake. 23-11-2014 10:05 PM

oh I completely forgot D: I'll have to try and catchup
