I apologize to Nicholas Spark fans profusely for in the incoming rant. I'm a big fan of his books (so of them), however the film adaptations of his books leave much to be desired. Apart from The Notebook all other film adaptation have failed to impress.Many authors dream of the moment when your book is adapted into film. Nicholas Sparks has had the fortune of having more than five of books being adapted to the big screen. However not of the adaptations have been great.
I barely managed to sit through Dear John. With Channing Tatum playing an insipid soldier and Amanda Seyfield was as bad as a snail imitating a leopard. Miley Cyrus in The last song was even worse than Amanda Seyfield. Her teenage dramatics wear thin, her love interest bordering on the ridiculous.
His books are getting turned into these unimpressive, insipid, melodramatic drivel that he should not be proud of. The latest one Safe Haven staring Josh Duhamel (better known as Fergie's husband) and Julian Hough (I'm not sure who she is exactly). I was left with a distinct feeling of disappointment.
I do enjoy meaningless drivel at time but surely it's not right to leave the cinema with a painful migraine.
Film adaptation can irritate book fans from the Help which disappointed to The Last King of Scotland which was too historically inaccurate I would rather watch Movie 43, a grotesque vulgar movie that promises racism and sexism than put myself through another awful Nicholas Sparks adaptation. Watching the last one gave me palpitations, I'm not sure if i can go through it anymore.
