As far as movie adaptions went, I actually liked this one. It was close to the book, had several book quotes, and made me bawl. Actually, about every girl that was in the theatre was sobbing, especially at the end...
I was not, and I am pleased to say, disappointed. Alright, Van Houten wasn't how I pictured him (I thought he'd be a fat man, honestly) but I thought Willem Dafoe played him perfectly, and I adore Shailene Woodley (Hazel) and Ansel Elgort (Augustus.) It was a bit strange watching them make out when they just played brother/sister in Divergent, though, I must admit. My Mum and I kind of chuckled about that.
The movie was excellent. The cast was perfect. I loved Isaac even more than I loved him in the book. (I love Augustus, too, of course.) I was so pleased that they had actual quotes from the book, almost word-for-word. The same cannot be said for certain movies (except for Catching Fire, because that was perfection), so I was definitely happy about that.
The only issue I had was that it wasn't long enough. :'(
(I wonder if I can get my Mum to take me again...)
