tbyrd-50088 I just happened upon this movie out of boredom. I do not have any personal stake in this movie like those who have read the books. It is a interesting movie, and due to the caliber of the cast, the acting is above average. It is definitely of better quality than Twilight in every aspect. Bottom line; I'm slightly older than 18, and I enjoyed the movie. However, the main characters' southern accents are horrible; especially the lead actor. In all honesty, it was distracting. Individuals in SC do not have a Louisiana drawl. Lord help!

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!

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.
