"Dear John"...well it was alright. Not the sap fest that I was expecting but clearly overly predictable. It was a movie that was meant to make money by making females cry. Lmao.
Channing Tatum can't act worth a damn though. The man cannot show emotion at all. Even though he was playing a "tough guy" because if you went through what his character went through..well I know the waterworks would be flowing. The real emotion is what this lacked.
What it didn't lack was sheer predictiblity. The spontaneous rainfall and love connection. It was predictible yet unrealistic at the same time. Yet despite it's flaws men will not hate this movie.
Final Vertict = Decent...but even the O.C.'s worst > this movie
I can't believe that people are giving this a bad review? Serious the fact that this holds 32% on R.T. is shocking to me. The acting was marvelous and on par with American Werewolf in London. Del Toro did Lon proud with his preformance and Hopkins was very convincing.
And to those that say it was "predictable", you do realize this is a re-make right? A homage to the original and the plot and ending is going to be basically the same (with of course its own little twists and turns to make it its own.)
This was one of the better horror movies of the past two years. It was suspensful, it was bloody, it have some slight humor and it was dramatic and romantic.
