Torn

Full disclosure -- I didnt see the first installment, but if it's anything like this one I'm glad I missed it.

This movie is quite simply, horrible. And you can put a capital "H" on that one!

It's boring and runs more than two and a half sleep inducing hours. Compounding this is how poorly shot the film is. Hrd to explain, but the focus is weird throughout and it almost looks like the color is off or wasnt corrected when they finished the movie.

I had a eral hard time sticking it through to the end. Especially knowing that I'd never get that time back.

Don't bother. It's a mess, and that's a fact.

I really enjoyed the first movie wicked, tink is my absolute favorite character!!! Andrew rogers plays him spot on!!! I loved everything except that god awful wig ivy was wearing!!! What I'm the world were they thinking with that?? I deducted 2 stars for the wig!!! For whatever reason it takes away something from her character with her hair looking like that. I know it's just hair and not that important but ivys red hair is part of her and when it looks like that it's just not right!! I absolutely can't wait to see the last movie brave, there's a lot of action in the last book and I'm excited to see how they do it!

This is the adaptation of TORN, book 2 in the Wicked trilogy by Jennifer Armentrout, and director Taryn O'Neill does an exceptional job bringing this story to life. It's a complex paranormal romance tale of good versus evil and I particularly loved the performances of Liam Hall as Ren, Andrew. Rogers as the Brownie, TINK, and Kevin Joy as the Prince. Three totally different characters. All excellent actors especially Kevin with his dark, brooding look and deep voice, capturing the evil Prince Drake perfectly. Andrew is a joy to watch as TINK and steals every scene Liam plays Ren with everything he's got. 100% into it. Anna Maiche is good as Ivy but I loved her actual long red hair in Wicked; the wig here was a bit distracting.

There's one more movie, Brave, yet to be filmed and I truly hope Taryn is at the helm of the final chapter.

Great story line, 2nd movie matched the book at say 95% but "Torn" was kinda made cheaper looking then 1st movie & I super hated Ivy's fake wig, though actress really tried to make it work. Nevertheless it's very very detailed & defined to the actual book so they didn't mess up much as they did in Game of Thrones. I imagined some characters differently but all in all they were pretty nicely depicted though visually didn't really match the description. But you could relate to their deeds hence pick point who the new faces are. I still like this trilogy because I read the books & recommended 2u!

Torn is the second offering in the Wicked Trilogy based on the hugely popular books of the same name by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I personally was a little disappointed in the first film Wicked, but I am happy to say that Torn was so much better. It seems they addressed some of my complaints of the first film, specifically the sex scenes which were well handled in this film.

Movie two starts right where movie one ended with the big reveal...Ivy is the halfling that everyone has been looking for. Struggling with having nearly been killed by the prince and this new information, who does she trust with this truth...and then there is her best friend Val, who has betrayed the Order. Ren is being very wonderfully kind and protective. It seems he and Ivy are getting closer...except Ivy is keeping her secret from him. When members of the Elite show up and Val dies, Ivy confesses both her love and halfling status to Ren and then he disappears.

The story is tight, the sex scenes are well handled and sexy, and the introduction of several new characters is well handled...Breena and Faye in particular. The one and only character that I had issue with was the Fae Prince. I don't know if it was due to editing or acting, but at times his delivery was choppy and less than natural...even for a domineering jerk who has no humanity.

I am so pleased to say I loved this second film, it lived up to what I have come to expect from a passionflix offering and I can't wait to see the third book Brave brought to life with the same treatment!

I highly recommend this film to both romantics and Passionflix fans alike.
