The Host Vs. The Host

The Host Movie Review 

I saw the first showing of the Host when it came out. Here's my review on it comparing to the book.

For me, the movie was good. On a 5 star rating, I'd give it a three or four.  I read the book a couple years ago and reread it once I heard the book was being made into a movie. The cameras, setting, and actor choices were great along with the acting, but the plot seemed rushed to me. Out of all of the movies that are being made into part one and part two, The Host should have been added to that list. To me, I felt like big sections of the book were cut out and sections were rushed. I know that for producing a movie things have to be changed, but I felt that parts went a little bit too fast.  Now, I also went along with my Mom and Sister who have not read the book. They enjoyed the movie and the only complaint they had was the length and that it got a little long after a while. 

Overall, The Host will not be added to my favorite adaptions of books into movies, but it's far from the worst. The acting was great and the setting was gorgeous.
