The Time Traveler's Wife

Thought Provoking

 5

I really enjoyed this movie, found it very thought provoking. I haven't read the book so I was probably able to be impartial. Well worth seeing (video). Just lovely!

i haven't read the book, but thought this was pretty good and didn't have any problems following the plot. i found it very moving, and enjoyed watching the beautiful mcadams as clare (although she was a little bit too gaga over henry at first - thank goodness that didn't last!). eric bana was pretty good for him. on the whole, not terribly thought-provoking but hey it is only a movie...

Soppy, sappy and disappointing

Dragged hubbie to this after I had read the book some time ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Now I owe him big and will probably have to sit through Terminator yet 2 again!
This movie just seemed to skim over the novel's content. More interesting bits might have been included if a some of the endless kissing scenes were cut. I have no idea how people who were unfamiliar with the story could have followed it. It needed a lot more depth to involve the audience. The book was absorbing but this movie adaptaion was simply too much sap dribbling down the screen. Plain disappointing :-(

Disappointing

I too have read this book multiple times. Two great actors but I really don't think they grasped the emotion and journey that was in the book. The movie seemed to fast forward through the storyline, missing huge chunks along the way including Henry's depression. If it didn't have two big (ish) names it would have been even worse. Like Claire said above, read the book and skip the movie.

Awful

Ive watched a decent amount of movies and in my
mind the flicks reviewer was being overly
generous with 2 stars.I havent read the book,
but couldnt imagine the author was at all
impressed by the screenplay!.

Well I have viewed the trailer and Clare (the wife) ends up waiting for him in any case by the looks of it even when Henry (the husband) said not to hehe .... Romantic in the sense that he gets drawn back to her when the story could have taken him anywhere else being the time traveler that David Bana's character (Henry) is ... it also looks like Rachael McAdams character (Clare) finds out that fairy tales aren't romantic after all but rather lonely especially if your long time love keeps disappearing around major events in your marital relationship hehe lucky he was there for the birth of the baby! hehehe .... but all in all though it is just the trailer I have viewed and the whole movie will probably have more emotional, heartfelt bits in it for the romantics hehe and yip for the ones that are prone to getting sick over lovey dovey movies there will be buckets supplied at the exits while the movie is playing, for your relief hehehe cheers! that's my thought on things, see ya (thumbs sideways hehe)

No where near as good as the book

I've read this book about five times and the movie is disappointing. Read the book and skip the movie.
