Product Description
Beautiful Creatures flies into the otherworldly romantic sphere occupied by the Twilight films, Buffy, The Vampire Diaries, True Blood--even Charmed. Based on the best-selling young adult book by Kami Garcia, the film adaptation of Beautiful Creatures tells a romantic tale between two young people with mysterious, dark backgrounds--and more than one secret. The young stars, Alice Englert as Lena and Alden Ehrenreich as Ethan, to whom she's mysteriously drawn, have a sweet, believable chemistry. And because it's directed by pro Richard LaGravenese (the underrated but fabulous Living Out Loud, P.S. I Love You), Beautiful Creatures is blessed with high production values; a quick, satisfying pace; and a supporting cast to die for (maybe literally). Emma Thompson, Viola Davis, Emmy Rossum, and Jeremy Irons, especially, seem to be enjoying themselves immensely as titular grownups in a teenage love story. This cast--and Lena's unexpected but badass supernatural power--all help add up to a delicious guilty pleasure. Beautiful Creatures shines with much more polish than some of the Twilight films, but carries just as much dramatic yearning. As well it should.

From the trailers I thought the leads (Alden Ehrenreich and Alice Englert) seemed poor, with him seeming particularly terrible. To my surprise they were both great and the two had a really nice, believable chemistry. The supporting cast is also great. Jeremy Irons and Emma Thompson seem to be having a great time, and Emmy Rossum is fun and sexy.
From what I understand fans of the books weren't crazy about it, but I've never read the books and I loved it. I'm sad it was a box office flop as I'd love for the other books in the series to become films. I'm glad, unlike most movies based on a series of books, that "Beautiful Creatures" is able to stand on its own and doesn't really end with a big cliffhanger or anything (not in my opinion at least). But it would still be great to see more. It's unfortunate this had to become a victim of a terrible release date. I do believe with a different date where it didn't have to go up against another film attracting the same audience (Safe Haven) it would have performed much better. And if by some miracle they did decide to make another I do think the audience would grow as more discover the first on DVD/Blu-ray, as long as it was released amongst less competition. They'd certainly need to try and cut the budget in half though. But alas I'm not holding my breath for the series to continue, as sad as it may be. The only hope would be if sales/rentals are strong enough. "Beautiful Creatures" is well-worth watching though even if there probably won't be a sequel. Such an entertaining film.
Technically I would rate this 4/5 stars, but I'm going with 5 to try and offset the bad ratings because it was different than the book. I get that it's hard to separate them when you've read the book but as a movie I thought this was incredibly enjoyable. I recommend trying to take it on its own merits. That's why I hate reading a book first if it's a movie or I know it's going to be a movie because usually you end up disappointed even though it's bound to be different. But if you watch the movie and read the book after it just enhances the story.
The plot is good and resembles the book, but the visual depiction is so different that they're easily separated. I am deeply disappointed that "Sixteen Moons" and Marian didn't make it into the movie, but the latter is a fair trade for more screentime of Viola Davis as Amma. I cannot imagine anyone who could have driven that role home better than Viola Davis. I love that the teens are unknown actors, or at least not celebrities. Not knowing them from any other roles just makes this movie more real, and believe me, their acting is stellar. Being unknown doesn't mean they're not good at what they do.
I think they probably left out too much of the later-critical pieces, like the three great-aunts, to turn this into a franchise, but I still want them to make a series of films, too, because, out of all of the franchises, this one deserves to become one most, as far as I'm concerned.
I love this movie so, so much. It is gorgeous and fantastic. As a lover of books and a reluctant screen-watcher, I love this movie, and I cannot tell you how many times I have watched it. I cannot say enough to speak highly enough of this film as I feel it deserves.
My favorite quote from the film that sure as anything ain't in the book? Amma: "God created all things, didn't He? It's only man that goes and decides which are mistakes."

Otro libro más llevado a la pantalla, otra cinta más de adolescentes, otra historia más sobre un romance tipo Romeo y Julieta. Pero cuál es diferencia: que fue correctamente llevado a la pantalla, los personajes son creíbles, las actuaciones buenas, los efectos esta ok. Aiden Ehrenreich como Ethan está increíble, Alice Englert por momentos me recordó a la insípida Bella de Crepúsculo, creo que Alice no fue la mejor elección que pudieron tomar, Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis y Emmy Rossum como siempre están excelentes, pero quienes se roban la cinta son la genial Emma Thompson y Aiden en quién recae totalmente la cinta. Mejor que Crepúsculo, pero no que The mortal instruments City of Bones, es una cinta donde se respira romance, la escena de la nieve es en sí lo mejor de la cinta, es una buena recomendación para los fans de las cintas anteriores, la cual no fuera recibida totalmente bien, y por lo tanto no haya planes futuros de llevar los libros restantes a la pantalla grande, una verdadera lástima. Pasará lo mismo que con La Brújula Dorada.
