I know it’s a bit late to post a review for TFIOS but I’m
still having a hang-over from the movie which is really, really not like most
of the book-to-movie adaptation where series of things are cut-off and changed.
The movie is just like the book. It’s what I actually visualized when I read
John Green’s The Fault in our Stars last year.
Well, I didn’t know who would play the roles but Shailene Woodley and
Ansel Elgort did the job really great. I can’t imagine anyone else play the
role apart from them after the success of this movie.

I watched the movie on its first day in the cinemas. It was already out in Cebu at June 5. I was
actually looking forward to watch Maleficent that night but upon seeing TFIOS
on the cinema schedule, I changed my mind in an instant and I forced my
office mates to come along. My office mate are not bookworms like me so when I
told them that the story is awesome and tear-jerking, they were having second
thoughts since they were thinking that I might spoil them and that maybe the
movie is not that nice since I kind of have a different taste on some things
and they were thinking that I’m more of a sci-fi and superhero movie/book
addict than a tear-jerking teenage love story.
