The Fault in Our Stars // Movie Review

The Fault in Our Stars wasn't bad but it wasn't excellent. When I first heard that they were making The Fault in Our Stars into a movie I was really excited, but after I saw the movie I was like "what just happened?". The movie cast was nicely chosen like I did imagine Augustus and Hazel to look like how they did in the movie but Issac not so much because in the book they said he was blonde. The acting wasn't that good, I felt like they could have done better because when the cast were reciting the famous "quotes" they had in the book, it sounded so scripted, and also they didn't include some of the stuff that happened in the book but it didn't really bother me that much, which obviously they can't include everything that happened since they don't want to make a movie that's 4 hours long. Yes, I did cry at that part where Hazel reads her "letter" to Augustus, which I'm not going to spoil for the people who have not read or seen the movie but I felt like that was the strongest part of the movie and most effective. I probably cried more at the actual scene of the movie than I did when I read the book.
Overall the movie was good, I visualized some parts in the movie to be like when I read them but I felt more that the acting was kind of bad at some points, in my opinion Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort had better acting in Divergent. I would give this movie 7/10 stars!
