I enjoyed this...

It just drove me a little mad at the same time. I mean how pig headedly oblivious can you be to the glaringly obvious, Becca? It was pretty obvious that he wanted you to be his from early on but you were so intent on not wanting to be anywhere near him, or talking to him or just anything relating to him. You drove me insane throughout the book so by the time you finally realised your feelings around the 92% mark I was cheering along with all your friends in the epilogue because FINALLY!!!

I've just seen an advert for a second book Four Years Later and I am very intrigued about reading more about their relationship.

This started good.

I loved Jett at the beginning; he was hot and arrogant but in a way I liked. For the first 40% it was going great for me and then I kinda got bored. It was flirting and almost having sex, without having sex while having a little work related stuff thrown in.

I was surprised at the end, I wasn't expecting that but I knew there was something wrong with Jett and the property he was after when he was being all b*tchy with Brooke about the details.

In truth I think I've read a few too many NA/Contemporary romances at once and im getting fed up of them. And unfortunately for this book, it's getting the brunt of my feelings.

This made me laugh several times simply at the stuff they did to each other but I wasn't entirely drawn into the story. I think what Darcy did back when they were 10 was wrong but at the same time I don't believe it required the hatred from Neala that it got. That being said, some of the pranks were funny, some a little cruel, but it always seemed obvious to me that they had feelings for each other, and it just took them forever to realise it for themselves.

I also loved the Irish-ness of this. Stuff like "me ma" and other sayings that just made it so Irish, and the thrown in well used British ones too.

I have mixed feelings about this film. For one, it is a great move forward towards realistic sci-fi, and I hope more movies are made like this.
The biggest problems for me were, a) the voiceover, it reminded me too much of Interview with a Vampire, and b) Brad Pitt being the lead. I could think of other actors that could have executed the character a little better.
Like others, I felt like the ending was completely anticlimactic. The story was so strong throughout, then I feel like it was spoiled. The film was also a little too long. That being said, the VFX were pretty amazing, and I can only imagine what this film would look like in IMAX.

Unbelievably fresh and unique. (2 more)

Brad Pitt gets to be more than eye candy, his acting ability is shown in this.

It is such a rollercoaster of feelings.

It can feel a bit long winded. (0 more)

Just fantastic!

I'm not a reviewer that likes to include spoilers - especially on films I want people to watch so all I will say is this:
Please watch this. It's so fascinating, the story is unlike anything I've ever heard or seen before. It's not the usual Brat Pitt movie, but opposite Cate Blanchett he shines through. They both wouldn't usually be put together yet they work! It's a story that isn't realistic yet with the many other amazing actors/actresses in this movie it feels so real.
