The lost potential- missed romance - despite the cliche

Frankie was cool and interesting, a little unemphatic though- but that added to his edge. Alison's death changed him. Though this point was needed, but he could have become conflicted in other ways through Alison- (if you know what I mean). Not to be cliche or anything but this story lacked a romance or bromance, or friendship. Alison's feisty and beautiful character was underused, they should have fleshed her out more. The potential between Frankie and Alison was off the Richter scale before the writers trampled all over it, they needed more conflict, more screen time- and Alison not dying. With what scenes they had- it was still a better love story than twilight.

The writers could do with reading some good fanfiction before starting production.

I for one am very glad they didn't bother trying to force a romance into the plot.

Too many great movies (particularly action, horror, scifi) are ruined because the director/writers feel the need to shoehorn a romantic plot into it somewhere and more often than not it's completely irrelevant to the story.
