À Contre-Sens 2

What could've been a tight and engaging story is painfully stretched into a trilogy for no real reason. This movie drags its plot out with unnecessary filler and subplots that add nothing to the overall narrative. Instead of building real tension or developing characters, it feels like the movie is just wasting time, leaving you more annoyed than entertained. The visuals are decent, and the cast tries their best, but the pacing is all over the place, and the story lacks any real depth.

It's like getting a fancy dish with no substance, all style, no substance. By the time it finally ends, you're just relieved it's over.

In comparison to the first movie Culpa Mia, this movie was such a let down. Although it didn't feel rushed, they tried to add as many scenes as possible within the second movie which led to them having absolutely no significance and added nothing to the plot.

Their relationship felt childish (Nick and Noah's) and although they have that kind of relationship from the previous movie, it felt a bit much in this film. Second, this film was more comedic than the first one, which I feel was a bit unnecessary.

I don't know if I'm the only one who thought this but Gabriel's acting wasn't that great in this movie. Was excellent as usual, but nothing much from Nick.

I was genuinely so excited for this movie because I absolutely loved the first one but I'm so disappointed, especially considering it is one of my favourite romance movies.

If you ask me, it's not worth watching.

If you seek a well-written review, I recommend Kkaterhyne's. Their critique closely aligns with my personal experience of the movie. I highly recommend reading the book, as it is significantly superior to the film adaptation. Why alter the original story for the movie? The ending failed to evoke the same emotional impact as the book. In the book, Michael served as her therapist, possessing the ability to manipulate her. Where is his brother? The portrayal of Nick's mother felt forced and lacked authenticity. While the passionate scenes were present, they lacked emotional resonance. I cannot pinpoint the exact reason, but it almost felt as though I was watching a different movie, one that lacked the familiarity and charm of the original. The music in this adaptation also deviated from the original, contributing to the sense of disconnection. The first movie was a resounding success and garnered immense popularity, while this one feels like a low-budget production.

What did I just watch? It was worse than a B movie. It looked like something a school class would throw together. How this is possible when Culpa Mia was so good is beyond me. It almost seems like a purposeful destruction of a story. Culpa Mia was young adult, a bit tacky and fast paced but the soundtrack, the acting and the way it was cut was incredible. What in the world happened here? Same actors and director. Looks like they had a week to shoot it and a couple of amateurs just threw it together. And why would you score it with a weird mix of classic music all the way through. Unfortunately I could go on and on... I hope the creators will explain what happened. Did the funding get pulled? Or was there just no more story to tell?

The books are really bad so I'm actually impressed the first movie in the trilogy was so good. But boy oh boy they should have stopped after the first movie. This movie was almost impossible to get through. Now I understand the painful expressions on the two main characters in the few promo interviews they've given prior to the release. This is the type of movie that can ruin your career. Jesus, the story was so bad. They should have rewritten the manuscript and moved away from the books if they wanted to do a sequel.

Nothing good to say. Not one good scene in all the movie.

Unfortunately, this second part was not as good as the first movie. The storyline, while still interesting, was not as compelling as the first. There were a lot of holes that still needed to be filled in at the end.

The script seemed to be poorly written at times, especially the dialogue. But more importantly, the writing seemed to rush the story a lot.

While the acting was on par as the first movie, the chemistry between the two main leads seemed to be lacking something. I did like the story focusing on the other characters more than in the first movie, as that showed more individual character arcs.
