50/50

Rating: 8/10 (20 November 2011)

To be honest, I can't see someone who wasn't obsessive over the series for at least two years enjoying this film. I think that the director did a brilliant job considering the specifications he was given. However, I don't think that the essence of this book was properly captured because of the difficult subject of childbirth, sex, and all of the problems that really occurred. This film should definitely been rated a 15 and that would have allowed more leeway for the storyline. I'm 14 and when I went to watch this film I felt a bit awkward that there were eight year olds all around me, watching the fairly explicit sex scenes. Pg-13 was the wrong choice for this film, and the saga was never meant for anyone under about 13, and that should have been made clearer earlier on.
However, after being completely immersed in the saga since the release of the first film, I thought that this was a great delivery of it in the motion picture. I DO BELIEVE that this did actually live up to it's name, and no-one can be blamed for some of he issues. The actors were as good as always, and the fans were I was at LOVED it. It was beautiful, and that is why it's worth a ten. The film was mostly criticised for the moral side of it, and not for the film itself.
