So I
realize I don't usually write movie reviews as this is meant to be a
book blog, but I had had to write a review on the movie adaptation of
one of my favourite books, The Fault In Our Stars. I'll admit, I was
nervous about watching it. Although I had heard good things about it,
I was still worried that it would not live up to my expectations. I
have been disappointed with so many book to movie adaptations that I
thought there would be at least one major point I would be annoyed
at. However, this was not the case and I was extremely happy with it.
Shailene and Ansel are literally perfect as Hazel and Augustus,
bringing the characters I loved so much in the book to life. There
were more comedy moments than I thought there would be which I loved.
Isaac was also perfect, and I think Nat Wolff should be getting a lot
more credit for his performance. After reading the book and knowing
what would happen, I thought that I would not cry over the movie.
However I started crying about 20 minutes before the movie ended and
barely stopped until the end. The majority of the movie theater was
in tears, which shows how well these actors portayed the story and
the emotions of the characters. I highly recommend this movie to
anyone who has not yet seen it, but of course, remember to read the
book first!
