Beautiful Creatures is a love story between two teenagers Ethan Wate (Aldren Ehrenreich) and Lena Duchannes (Alice Englert) in Gatlin,SC. Lena is a 15-year old witch who is destined to turn dark side on her 16th birthday and her family hopes to find a way for her not to. Ethan falls in love with her and slowly finds out her secret and realizes that he has been dreaming about Lena for a long time. There are some nice cinematography throughout the movie, however the story is a bit slow at times and can put one to sleep. The southern accent was so exaggerated at times that it was nerve wracking and I lived in South Carolina for a time. This movie has been compared to the Twilight Saga and although I have read the books and have seen all the movies and agree that the writing in that series wasn't that great, it did give you more to keep you going with then this movie. But that is this reviewers opinion. The supporting casts, Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis and Emma Thompson who are tremendous actors couldn't do anything to put fire to this story and you can see how they committed themselves to this movie. This movie is worth seeing the costumes and some of the graphics but little else.
