When I went to see Dear John, I had high expectations, because I read the book and it was phenomenal and also because the movie did well in the box office. But I was disappointed by the movie.
The romantic comedy follows the lover protagonists John and Savannah. John was a US soldier. He met Savannah during his holiday back home in North Carolina, while Savannah, a college student spent her summer building houses for the needy. They met summer 2001. Little did they expect 9-11 to happen and to tear them apart.
The reason why I didn’t like the movie was because I didn’t like how the screenplay writer wrote the ending. The ending in the book was sad but beautiful, while the ending in the movie was hasty.
Another reason why I didn’t like the movie was because the character development was hasty. And when Savannah tried to connect with John’s autistic dad, it wasn’t convincing.
Nevertheless, the depiction of the love of John and Savannah was beautiful. And how the movie started with John shot in the war and his soliloquy was very nice.
All in all, it was an okay movie. But I would definitely recommend reading the book before you watch the movie.
