After Everything

If you're looking for an easy escape of a movie, don't watch this. You'll want to escape this as much as anything else in your life.

The acting is as woeful as it's ever been, especially from the male lead, but there's just more of it - he's in every scene! Too much of this guy. The only half-way good acting is the female lead and she's hardly even in it, not until the end. And then there's the ending? What was that about? Shoved into the last five minutes like an after thought - maybe that should have been the title - After Thought. The funniest thing was the wig or hair piece she was wearing in the last scene - that had me in stitches! Don't watch this - just skip to the last scene. HIlarious!

I think that I saw the first two movies and they were depressing from what I remember. I remember them fighting and unhappy. I just remember them being dark. This actually made you feel good at times for the characters.

I love Mimi Keene too. She was really good as always. She is beautiful and funny. I love her in Sex Education. I liked that storyline and the scenery was beautiful. To me it didn't drag on either like some of these type of movies do.

It was good for the kind of movie it is intended to be. It set out what the intention was...for him to make his amends.

Once he did that it made for a happy ending.

I was obsessed with this series from the day it came out, but since this final movie im utterly disappointed. I cannot believe this has been done. Whoever's idea it was to have josephine in the movie for 15 mins needs to be sacked. The amount of backlash this movie has had should be enough to encourage them to make a final GOOD movie with the female and male lead role, otherwise you've been doing this series over 5 years for nothing because it'll be ruined. There is no words to explain how upset i am they were my comfort movies and they have been tarnished. I don't understand how anna todd has let this happen to her storyline. Get josephine back.

Good to see Hardin suffering and trying to move on from Tessa. Hero put in a really good performance.

Disliked that they made Natalie such a key part of the story. It felt like she was added in the absence of Josephine Langford but it was unnecessary and Hardin should have gone on the journey with aomeone from the series we are familiar with. Mimi Keene and Hero didn't have anywhere near as much chemistry as we usually see with Josephine so that special feeling wasn't there this time.

The sex scene added in felt totally unnecessary. Fans of the film didn't need a sex scene for the sake of it.

No pun intended - I actually thought the one before this was going to be the last one. But they had another one in them. Although technically speaking only one of the two main stars/characters is really present in this - physically that is. Of course the presence of the other main character is felt.

While there are still many things that are at least borderline cringe (and Mimi tries her best to fill in the role of female anchor point as good as she can, I reckon being cast because of the show she had done and became famous for) ... there are also moments where you think: oh they actually "act" like adults ... ok not too many of those moments, but still way more "level headed thinking" than in the previous entries.

Since I have not read any novels, I have no idea how this fairs with anything this is based on ... just saying. It is not as "sizzling" (I assume) as 50 shades of Grey ... but they do get it on - even if not ... "really" ... no pun intended.

I am torn between a lot of things - we have quite the despicable character who seems to be self destructive ... but also tries to do amends ... should we give him a break? Unforgivable? You decide that. The father has a few good scenes ... almost philosophical ... who'd have thought .. definitely a step up from the previous entries ... even without (or because?) one of the stars is seemingly absent ...
