elizabethdawson-78805 It is tough to adapt a Teen adult romantic novel (just ask Twilight) but the problem with Dear John- which is a Nicholas Sparks novel is that there just isn't a great deal of emotional quotient to invest in. The pacing is uneven and the translation from book to screen is hampered by an uneven flow and pacing issues. Another factor is that the main leads Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried spend more time away from each other corresponding through letters and voice overs than with each other. The middle act is a drag and the third act somehow manage to shift the film's genre from romance to drama with all the focus on Tatum's character in Afghanistan and his relationship with his father. Dear John is a miss in many ways.

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

twerkingzombie **SPOILERS AHEAD** I'm sorry but the reason I watch romance is to make me either cry or have heart warming feeling, i got none of these... I just felt like i wasted my time watching this and it didn't have a good structured ending. Sorry to the fan but i was told i would cry, i didn't (I cry easily). AND IM SORRRRY BUT WHY TIM??? like i get it he needed you but if you loved John the way you said you did then you wouldn't of done that.All in all i was disappointed and I did not enjoy this film.

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.
