Gabriel's Rapture: Part One

I watched part 1 before reading the books, I got hooked, I could not wait for the upcoming movie parts, so I decided to read the books, and I did it, I finished the 4 books in 2 weeks - I am thinking about reading them again - it's a really good romantic seductive story, the build up of the characters are really good, and the movies are really great adaptation of the books, better than any book adaptations, I've ever seen, and for people who is comparing this to 50 shades of grey series, I am telling you there is no comparison here, it won't be fair to 50 shades, the books or the movies series, they are rubbish compared to the Gabriel's series, I'd like to thank Musk for being such a fan of this beautiful novel, that she decided to stick to the book at that level, even I can say there is a room of improving

I loved the first three movies, and this one was all right, but honestly the farther into the story you get, the more annoying Julia's character gets. Have to admit I haven't read the books, but whiny female characters are definitely not for me, and she only gets whinier as time goes on. I won't add spoilers, but she's immature, naive, and her expectations on Gabriel are unrealistic. I've also never seen a single grad student behave like her. Maybe a freshman. Gabriel is seriously sexy though, so that partially makes up for the annoying female lead.

A second part that makes you want more and ask not to finish. The energy of the actors show us a chemistry that makes you doubt if it's acting

Why? Because at its core it's a film about a long courtship and a romance that is passionate but chaste, intense but forbidden. There are no hidden agendas and kinks here, isn't obsessed with being crammed with explicit sex scenes, but just good old fashioned emotional erotica. For those who still have even the slightest romantic side left, this might just make you melt in your chair while laughing at how silly you are for doing it. Bravo! Bring on the next one.

A beautifully shot first film in the Gabriels Rapture story. The chemistry between Giulio Berruti and Melanie Zanetti is wonderful. All in all a pleasure to watch. Definitely does justice to the novel.
