If that was the case then I would probably have hated the film, because it was not a good film at all. <br /><br />I hope I get sleep soon too, but as it's 3am right now I think it's becoming a habit!

I feel like I did enjoy it, more than I enjoyed Twilight but if I remember correctly, I also found it quite slow going at times. <br /><br />Agree about the insta-love as well, it all felt very rushed in the movie but I also remember the book being over a much longer time period. I think the movie was okay but I think I enjoyed the book more. I feel like I can't completely say that as I don't remember the book well enough. I do remember caring more about Melanie than I did for Wanda though. <br /><br />I didn't dislike it, I honestly found it quite enjoyable even if somewhat laughable at times.

I didn't like Melanie's accent and that part of it didn't translate as well from the book to the movie. It also felt like such a compressed time frame in the movie versus the book it seemed more like insta-love whereas in the book the relationship between Wanda and Ian took awhile. Agree with you about Max Irons, I'll watch it again just to see him. Sorry you didn't like it that much! ~Pamyaescapefromrealityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200254719073248981noreply@blogger.com
