Still a better love story than Twilight

Rating: 6/10 (15 July 2016)

for my surprise, i have to defend the movie. i read half of the book a couple of years ago and it was really stupid. i hated it. so i expected the movie to be even worse. but compared to the book, the movie is actually OK. it's watchable and you won't get bored at any time. of course, the whole story is probably stupid and unbelievable and many people will get upset or offended by it. i don't think there's anything to get upset about. the story is slow. this is the first part out of 3, so nothing special happens. the sex scenes are nice, the chemistry is average. the dialogue could have been better, but it could have been a lot worse. the good thing about the movie is, that they could skip some really cheesy parts from the book. i think if there wasn't such a huge advertising campaign around this movie, most people would say, that the movie is OK. but now everyone was expecting something like titanic and got disappointed. i expected something like twilight and it came out better, so 6 stars from me.
