disappointing, book is so much better

Rating: 6/10 (9 April 2007)

Well what can i say, this movie was good, but disappointing. I didn't actually think they were in love and i didn't really see he cared for her. I read the book before i watch the movie, and fell in love with the book the minute i read it. After watching the movie shortly after, i was disappointed. I have the DVD and watch it multiply times to see if i can figure a way to think it's good, but to me it's disappointing. Nothing they do shows that they really care for each other. Unlike the Notebook which i read and didn't like i thought the movie was great understanding and had some scenes from the book. This did not. For example, the writing was badly written(for the play). didn't they know this movie takes place in 1958 not 2002? and didn't they know that Landon and Jamie had more moments, and more sad moments. Didn't they know that Jamie asked him about the grave yard and she didn't go. and she didn't have a list. I was disappointed that's all. I wanted the movie to be similar to the book. The movie didn't make me cry but the book, sure did.
