Safe Haven (I) (2013)
4/10
Just Stay Away From Nicholas Sparks Novels ..

Warning: Spoilers
Ruined .

Writers usually develop this intimate relationship and special bond with their very favourite novelists that they get to understand their every litte detail by mind and by heart . Nicholas Sparks , I just understand him . I love the way he tries to set such stories and I find them absolutely believable and realistic. I have this bond with him that I can truly feel his work and how genuine it is . Some see his novels as plain story lines decorated with a fantasy at the end , others know and recognize a deeper vision and feelings in them .

This movie is really an incomplete and empty adaptation of a beautiful story , with very bad direction that got to place all the vivid memories and important twists in some parts , the rest of the movie time is plain . Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel were not that perfect to fit in the roles , which should have been performed with much more warmness , as the habit in a Nicholas Sparks ' movie . I even view the children's performance to be far better than the lead characters . Screenplay is disappointing . Maybe the cinematography was a little more attractive with a not-so-bad music track . It's just the general storyline that could save the movie from total failure .

" Safe Haven " is a story that's felt by heart , where a novel is being so simple , beautiful , vivid and warm at the same time , something that not all readers agree about in Nicholas Sparks' trademark novels . But what's to be sure about , is that even Nicholas Sparks' fans have found this to be really disappointing to their favourite story teller 's great work .
