Thumbs Up for Shailene and Ansel

Rating: 8/10 (20 June 2014)

Confession is, I am the book lover, and I expect highly from this film, even after countless disappointment of other adaptations. I even forgot to compare it to the book while watching it. So, trust me, if you have the understanding of movie and book are two different things to tell a story, you would come to appreciate the effort the team put into this movie.
One flaw though, is that there is nothing particularly new in this movie. Basically the team have done a good job of creating an extension of the book, but there is no new exploration in there. The movie is amazing because the book itself, and the story, is unbelievably good.
Shailene and Ansel stunning performance remind me of Gus and Hazel every single second. This movie is a quick way to get access to the story and it does an amazing job, but I still prefer the book myself, with nothing against the movie and I truly love it.
10/10 rating is base on my love to the story John Green gives me, more than any things else.
