I cried like I did when I read the book.

It was worse. I almost never cry over books.

i admit i cried at the end when we learn that Stormy had been killed in the shooting. i honestly had no clue she was dead. this movie was excellent!

reply

I never read the books, but I cried at the end of the movie. I was hoping I wasn't the only one who cried.

You don't have to worry about that.


Actors do not have a job...they have a blast!

Seldom have I cried so hard at the end of a film. I was devastated that he'd have to live on without her, wondering how he could since their love was so meant to be. I cried asking how can one, anyone, go on after such a loss. No answer... you just do. That didn't help!

Well done in all aspects. Some dislike this film because they loved the book. I can relate as I am one of the few on earth who does not like Kubrick's take on "The Shining" having loved the book.

RIP Anton. When Odd was talking to Penny at the beginning saying how sorry he was that she had such a short life I could not help but think of the actor and saying the same thing in my mind... I am sorry Anton that you had such a short life. May you be in that better place Odd believed the beloved dead moved on to.

I did too!!! I actually sobbed! :( I think they need to make this in to an HBO series!!!

reply

I did too, and I for one usually don't!

I also cried at the end, didn't expected this twist. Pretty good movie.

reply

I thought this movie was just okay, I hated the casual tone of Odd's lines and his overdubs and I thought the girl that played Stormy was AWFUL. She had no emotions whatsoever, and I hated that they took Elvis out and that Ozzie was pretty much emitted. However, I will admit, I cried harder at the ending of the film than I did at the ending of the book, and I didn't think that was possible.

Agreed about Stormy. 'Hi, I'm unique and quirky with an odd name (giggle! I said Odd!) and I'll call Odd 'Odd One' every damned time I see him just to drive it home!"
They could have done better with her.
Movies are rarely, if ever, anywhere near as good as the books, and even though I wish they would have changed or added a lot to this movie, it was pretty good.
Kills me that even knowing what was going to happen, I cried my eyes out anyway.

I have seen the worst movie ever:
Battlefield Earth.

I saw the movie first, am reading the book now. Gotta say I thought the movie was excellent and all of the casting was good. Wife and I both bawled at the end.

Assuming the book holds up to my expectations I plan to read the whole series.

reply

Sounds like you're just bad at reading faces... or perhaps you're the one without emotions?

reply

I read the book and forgot stormy died. I had fallen in love with sexy stormy and forgot. I was angry when it was revealed she had died.

reply

So glad I wasn't the only one!
I cried when I read the book and bawled my eyes out when I watched the movie. *sighs sadly*

Me too. I saw it with some family members and my younger sister and I cried like a little b!itch.

reply

I'm typing these words with still tears in my eyes. But I found the movie overall not good enough, but I felt it deserved 7/10 for making me cry. The book was the opposite of the movie. Much better than the movie but at the end of the book I didn't care about Stormy.



Hey, this is the Sh*tty Restaurant... would you like to make a reservation?

Bunch o' worthless wussies, the lot o' ya.

They were manly tears, man.

Well, their relationship is really developed so it will have a lot of impact, but I think that reveal is a bit stupid.
