I'm glad I chose to get hurt by this movie

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2014)

*SOME SPOILERS*
This was definitely by far one of my favourite book to movie adaptations. I left the theatre feeling the same way I felt when I finished the book. Everything was so well done! I loved the acting, directing and writing of this movie!
I was skeptical when I found out the Ansel Elgort was going to play Augustus.. I had watched Carrie, and I loved the character he played in that movie, and I thought he was quiet cute.. I also watched Divergent, but personally, I don't like the character, so I didn't think much of his role in the movie. In the book, Augustus was described to be incredibly hot and breath takingly beautiful. Though I thought Ansel was good looking, I was still worried. However, I was not disappointed AT ALL by Ansel's portrayal and the director's choice. I could not have imagined a better person to play Augustus! He did such an amazing job playing the role! I fell in love with Augustus Waters all over again because of Ansel :) I knew that Shailene was going to do an amazing job! I have seen her previous movies/TV shows (The Descendants, The Spectacular Now, Divergent, The Secret Life of an American Teenager) and I already loved her as an actress! I was not at all shocked at her beautiful performance! Supporting cast did a remarkable job, glad to see Willem Dafoe in this movie!
The screenplay, locations and direction of this movie completely satisfied me as a book fan. Everything did complete justice to me as a fan. Though there were scenes that were taken out, I was no disappointed, though a little shocked. The way they portrayed the feelings and emotions of the book to the movie was SPECTACULARLY beautiful! The essence of the story and book was not missed! The same lessons were taught, the same emotions were felt and the same ache and tears came through half of the movie. The way the dealt with the tragedy was amazing.. I was so glad that they made us fall in love with Augustus the same way as John Green made us fall in love with him! The worst part for me to deal with was the pre funeral scene mostly, but mostly half of the movie left me in tears!
Excellent job done, and I could have not been happier as a book fan :) Thank you Josh Boone, Scott Neustadter, John Green, Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Nat Wolff, and all other cast for making this experience the best possible for me!
