No doubt I'll get a lot of abuse from the people who love this. They'll no doubt say people who don't like this simply don't understand it or just want explosions and non-stop action. Well they'd be right about one of those, I definitely do not understand it.
Not because it's a complex story (it really isn't), I just don't get where the interest is. So two teens, love each other and run away. One shape shifts and is chased by some beefy Norwegian blokes. Trouble is the chasing isn't particularly interesting and the beefy Norwegian blokes aren't scary enough to make you worried what would happen if they did get the shifter.
Much of the story, particularly in London, is cliched beyond belief (montage of driving around famous London land marks like Piccadilly Circus, indie music, short cuts of pointing and laughing etc... you get the idea).
If you were a fan of the Twilight films then you'd probably love this (takes it self far too seriously). Ultimately though it's just a story about 2 teenagers, one happens to be a shapeshifter and not much else happens.
In short.... Meh!
