NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

raeapodaca-04641 Read the books and was very impressed by the first movie. Books are always different from the screenplay, but felt like they did a good job. I can't wait for the next movie.

MovieAngel-1985 I absolutely loved this movie! I'm a big fan of the books, so I was thrilled to find out a movie was made. I didn't have high expectations as there wasn't any publicity for this movie and I only found out by chance...I couldn't be more wrong, as I was captivated from the beginning to the end. The actors are great, the atmosphere is perfectly created, the music is well-chosen and the story folds out in a very nice way. Does it make you think of Twilight? Yes, In soms ways.. But I don't mind, as I enjoyed every minute of it.I will definitely watch it again!!Keeping my fingers crossed to see all the other books into movies as well.

megan_laing-88004 I will preface this review with the fact I have never read the books and therefore do not know if it was a good adaptation or not. However, from a movie perspective it was sloppy and confusing. The ending came out of no where and I have no clue why she picked the other guy over Cam. The very fact I have had to refer to him as "the other guy" just shows how unmemorable and lacking he is as a character considering he is supposedly the male lead and main love interest. There lacked any real chemistry between them and in general Cam just seemed a more interesting character. They made a big deal out of the fact she wasn't baptised and then kind of threw in the explanation "oh you'll die for good this time cause you aren't baptised" in at the end as if it meant nothing. Really they needed to have a slower reveal rather than explaining the entire backstory in the last 5 minutes. Also, none of the characters but Penn seemed fleshed out. I didn't feel sad when Penn's friend died because I really had no clue who he was, I couldn't even feel sad when Penn died because it was so sudden and was followed with the promise that the angels would "take care of her" - Also what does that mean? Are they going to bring her back? I still don't even really know what happened in this movie, and feel I need to read the books just to understand. I assume that they were planning a lot more backstory to go into a sequel but the quality of this movie makes me doubt that will happen. This film felt more like a lead up to a sequel when they should have focused on having a good movie with a strong plot and memorable characters.

westsideschl Acting was really bad, typical high school drama level, and in some cases such as school personnel you would think they had never been in a school. Teen level plot of eye candy lovers with Bible history 101 as their backgrounds as they seem to be immersed in the story of the fallen angels doomed to stay on Earth as a result of the conflict between God and Lucifer (i.e. Satan). The building for these trouble teens seemed like a prop for a Victorian horror set. The CGI was cheap and the dialogue high school level. Scenes were dumbed down, e.g. the students sneaking out for an all night kegger in which kegs appear out of nowhere in this isolated setting.
