After: Chapitre 3

I only saw it because Ive seen the two previous parts so I feel stuck, and it's as lame as I expected it to be. It's such a messy and boring sequel. The story is stupid and the screenplay is weak, incoherent and has holes. It's useless and easily forgettable.

This movie is atrocious. Nothing happens, there's no plot, just toxic behaviors and unnecessary drama. Hardin only gets worse and worse every movie, what an insufferable brat. I'm honestly worried about the teenagers that are watching this.

I loved the first one loved the second one even more but the constant recast are ridiculous like seriously we fall for characters and then they replaced the next movie and just isn't the same I'm pretty disappointed in this franchise. I don't know if it was because of covid they had to do recasts but it truly sucks. And this film just was so boring.

Honestly, I hoped that the "love" story between the naive girl and the narcissist will somehow turn out to be a bit less selfish and more real, but the truth is that this 3rd part was so boring.. nothing interesting happened. Hardin is still the same hurt, selfish, possessive guy, Tessa doesn't get smarter either... This relationship is so toxic! What they have isn't even love, is addiction. She is addicted to him, he is addicted to owning her. The whole vibe and even the erotic scenes felt a bit repetitive and outdated. The intimate moments between them were filmed very boring as well, there was no real passion.. I mean what was the point of them anyway? To fill up some time, cos they felt like a chore for them. To show us that Thessa is in control and she is the one leading now? I don't think that's the case.. she is addicted to him, that's all. I feel like this movie was going to be a bigger hit like 10 years ago. But in this day and age, it's not giving me enough. There were some absolutely pointless scenes ( I assume they showed them cos of the book, which I haven't read), like the guy in the restaurant. What was the point of that? To show us how possessive and self-absorbed Harden is? But we already know that :D I am very disappointed.. I mean I never been a huge fan of this movies cos they are triggering for me (if you've been with a narcissist, you know what I mean), but the trashy romance sometimes is cute to watch or at least exciting. This one was none of that.. I mean I can't believe this movie was almost 2 hours of nothing happening. A bit of pointless fights, a bit of erotic scenes (tho even they were boring...).. Too bad. The previous 2 were better. Yes, in this one Hardin maybe showed a bit more of his love for her, but meh.. P. S. I read somewhere that this and the upcoming next movie were filmed in Sofia/Bulgaria and I am from Sofia :D I had no idea, is this even true? Kinda disappointing if it is :/ cos the movie sucks ;D.

This is an exact vision of the book and I loved every second. Definitely my favourite of the series. You can't beat the chemistry between the two lead actors.

Edit: so confused to see people criticising the plot/story. This is a book adaption and follows the book! It's made for fans and that's why it was created. I love the story this one tells. It feels like real life and that's why I love it.
