Very disappointed :(

A Brilliant Conflict

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Was this really a Nicholas Sparks story? If so, I can only blame the people involved in making it into a film for doing such a bad job. What are they called - the "adaptation" people?Anyway, at least 30 minutes before the end I knew what was going toi happen. It was that obvious. I kept asking "When are the bad guys going toi show up and ruin all this happy stuff?" And then we find her bot needs a new heart. Well, it's obivous whose heart it's gonig to be!And sure as sh**, up come the bad baoys shoving his truck into the train. Yeah, so he's going to die in a train wrech and his heart will go to the boy! Easy peasy.Oh, but wait. There's a twist in thtail. He doesn't get shoved into the train. Whoo-dee-doo. So it's gongi to be a happy anding after all! Oh, what a relief!But wait! No! Another of the bad guys shoots him and he dies anyway. OK, veru vclever, we all thought it was going to be OK , but it wasn't. Aren't you dcript writers so damn clever.PS. sinvce when do heart donors become availbe within hours of someone neeing a new heart? THAT didn't pass the smalell tesat. PPS. So when she gets the phone sAll that Dawson is dead, how come she didn't realise it was HIS heart that ws available. I guess because the scritpwriters can add yet another where the boy tells his mum who the donor was.Oh dear, such a contrived storyline.Next time, Mr Sparks, pleaase make sure you get approval rights for the sdcreen adaptation. Hopefully you'll prevent you next story being converted into an abomination like this was.

Nice movie, although the end should not be like this. Simply such a beautiful film should end in the best possible way. Is not it a clear need for beautiful love stories to end constantly with a catastrophe, death? Why all this? My recommendation to everyone to watch a movie, it's really worth spending 2 hours. Regardless of the end, this is a great screening of the book by Nikolas Sparks. Although such a strong love deserves its triumph and although we did not have the opportunity to see it, I must give the film a high score. Without a doubt, this was worth every second.8/10

Based on one of the Nicholas Sparks book of the same name. The story of a failed high school romance who meet again later in their lives. But the flashback comes right away after the initial segment to reveal theirs young romance and what made them part away. Between the present and the past, it keeps up the momentum and concludes the tale with a twist. Though you would know mile away what's coming.I did not like all the films based on the stories from the original author. But this one looked okay to me, not so good or too bad. All his films are romance theme, but in this film, that part was very weak. I did not expect that, particularly emotionless when compared to his other flicks. Still, the filmmaking was decent, with the good actors. But the casting was confusing at the beginning for having two sets of actors and then soon it cleared out all the doubts.Kind of supernatural theme, but not a fantasy. Feels a bit long, because the story developments were slow and most of the parts are not interesting. This is not a romance film I was looking for, but different where everything was dragged to the final twist, especially since the accident that happened at the opening. I did not watch it till now, because I did not feel I wanted to after watching its trailer. But I knew some day I would see it and that is now. I don't know what you thought of it, but for me it is an average film.6/10

I usually read the book before I go see the movie, but I hadn't in this case. The love story of Amanda and Dawson is beautifully told with flashbacks (I often hate them but they didn't bother me at all in this movie) and their present day life. Luke Bracey and Liana Liberato really do an awesome job as the young Dawson and Amanda and I love Michelle Monoghan and James Marsden as their older versions. Gerald McRaney is perfectly cast as Tuck, Dawson's "surrogate" father. The scenery/decor is amazing on screen especially Tuck's garden en the water tower. The only negative is the predictable and obviously unwanted ending. As soon as Jared was in the hospital you knew what the outcome would be. It also went a little too fast, like they quickly had to put an end to it. I loved The Horsewhisperer and like that book/movie the male lead was the hero and also the "loser" of the story. In short I very much enjoyed The best of me, but I still wish for a better ending.
