I was expecting it to be worse and the cast is really good, but idk, I just can't look past John Green's obnoxious storytelling and the whole "let's make out in an Anne Frank museum because it's seizing the day!" balls. It was pretty nauseating and just a kind of "yeah there's beauty in the world when there's cancer" message and that's great and everything but ugh. Too teenmovieish I probably sound harsher than a 6 LOL but Shailene Woodley is a great actress and the supporting cast was good too... didn't go too much on Ansel Elgort, he was just a sort-of token dreamboat doofus I guess, and oh GOD the cigarette 'metaphor' PLEASE SHUT UP. But no, nice acting, nice little story, nice message, but irritating.

I liked it, but having watched my fair share of Simp movies a few months back I don't think it's as good as some others in this genre (Remember Me, Keith, etc). I thought Shailene & the guy playing Augustus worked well together and were both really likeably in their roles, Willem Dafoe played a great horrible bastard as well. I knew that the ending was supposed to be really sad and that it leaves most people (women) crying but I didn't really think it was that emotional at all.. I mean I wanted

Spoiler:

Augustus to live

but it was nowhere near as bad as main characters deaths in most other movies. But yeah, it's an enjoyable film and I actually liked all of the characters which is pretty rare. Plus the author is a Liverpool fan so that's always a bonus.

Would watch it again in a few years, also didn't really like John Greens little bit in it :/ even if he was on screen for a minute

6/10

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

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.

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.

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

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 I think I'll go with 7/10

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.

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!

There was a few bits that I wasn't too fond of, however they were little things I'm not gonna dwell on. Overall, despite the sadness, I found it entertaining.

edit: sorry for the late review
