2018's been a good year for the Young-Adult novel film adaptation subgenre, hasn't it? It's nice to see this strain of American cinema having such a banner considering that I've always felt its gotten too much of a bum rap from people always associating it with
Twilight and its various knock-off's rather than also considering that the high-quality likes of
The Fault In Our Stars or
The Spectacular Now also qualify as entries in this subgenre.
Twilight isn't good (though the hate for it seems a wee bit overblown at this point), but judging the entire YA-novel film adaptation realm just by it is like judging all of superhero movies on
Batman v. Superman.
