inescid Okay sooo... I've watched this movie because my cousin was quite sick, and she wanted to watch a romance. I gave up on my idea of listening to Hamilton the whole afternoon, but whatever.* REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS * How do I begin? The beginning of this movie is so Grease-ish. Summer love, and then they follow different paths. Everything alright till then. John's father was portrayed amazingly, and so was Alan. But anyways, the beginning was okay. In the middle of the movie, is where things get interesting. I was already imagining John's father would die, and that made me cry. I was enjoying the movie a lot, and the "she found a new guy"/ "they're engaged" part, was quite cliché as well. I thought they were going to be together at the end, but we'll get to that. When John comes back, and writes the letter to his father, we all understand he was writing to him, not Savannah. That was okay as well, but, why showing that in the beginning of the movie? I mean, I think we all thought the letter was for "the girl", but apparently it wasn't. That confused me a lot. What made me dislike the movie a lot, was Savannah's last letter. I guess we all were like "oh damn. She's going to marry that blond dude", but when her picture with Tim showed up, I started mumbling something like "Tell me that's Tim taking her to the church. It's not what it looks like. It can't be" That Tim-Savannah relationship was quite disgusting for me.I mean, Tim was like a father to her, it was disgusting when I found out they were married. "Tim needed me, he needed me for Alan as well, and I was alone and I didn't know what I was doing"I'm sorry, but you're practically a grown up woman, how can you not know what you're doing? When John came back, her face was practically telling him she still loved him, but they did nothing for that love. Even John knew it, for gods' sake! I've read one review here, and apparently, selling his dad's coins was to pay Tim some kind of thing. Why that, John? The line "If you love her, you need to let her go, even if you get hurt, because you want her to be happy", is a line that is explicit (?) in this movie. He gave Tim the time he needed to be with Savannah and Alan, but what the hell?! It was so useless!! He was about to die anyways, and he barely showed her he cared about her!! Savannah was a bit bitchy tho. She didn't even visit John's dad at the hospital, or went to his funeral, she just stopped showing up. My point is, I didn't like the movie for this simple reason. The "SHE MARRIED TIM" plot twist was awful and completely disgusting, and the final scene is awful as well. What happens next? Are they finally together? We don't even know, because the movie didn't want us to know. Thanks a lot, Mr. Sparks. I won't even read the book. Reviews have said it was awful, and I guess I will believe it, until I finally want to find out what happens in the book that's so special.I guess there are way more Nicholas Sparks movies that are better than this one inescidP.S - This is only my opinion. If anyone thinks other way, I totally respect it.

sakram Least to say about Dear John is that it's a typical Romance movie. With not-so- much to fill in the entire playtime, decent Soundtracks, acting, and directing. It didn't deliver much and came out short, although it could've done otherwise, potential wasted.I am not a big fan of Channing Tatum, but I like his movies, most of them, well as for this one, I wasn't very contented by his acting, and it felt a little bit made-up, if I am not wrong. On the other hand, Amanda Seyfried nailed her role very well. But that all doesn't matter, and is nothing when put face to face next to the plot line importance, because that's where all the criticism should go. Provided that the movie is based on a book, I felt like this has much to give as an adaption, but I was wrong, the adaption was made in a wrong way, it was wrongly paced, and the screenplay left so much to be desired.I can't say quite much without spoiling. 6.5/10

toriahardie worst movie that i have ever watched, shocking story line. Just wasted 2 hours of my life. Never watch it, was so bad. I'm saving you I promise from a terrible film. Stop after he gets a letter after 2 months seriously. watch peppa pig instead, thats far better quality. angry i wasted my time

Kaija Mitchell Nicholas Sparks uses a pattern of tragedy throughout his movies to pull people together and cut across all differences. Every single person in this world has at some point experienced some form of heartbreak and tragedy whether that be through cancer, death, a heartbreak from a lover, or illness. "Dear John" is no exception to this pattern. The two fall in love, become separated by John getting deployed to help with 9/11 and by the time he comes back she is already married to someone else. Of course though they are still in love. John makes a big decision to help pay for Savannah's husband's treatment when he is diagnosed with cancer even though John would have liked to be the one to end up with her. John and Savannah do not end up together. Despite heartbreak and tragedy the theme remains the same. However, it is to make the point that heartbreak and tragedy are very real and occur in real lives. It is not his point to make an unrealistic tale of love and bliss but rather of love and real life. His point is to make that when you fall in love things may not all work out.
