First Love

I love Hero and hé is the only reason i watchedthe movie till the end (did press ffw a few Times to get throug it ) there was no Sparks there was no real love feeling at all. The whole story was weird, time Line did not match up to anything i could not het the sense of anything it Just jumped from one thing to another... Mooi the after series are way beter. This was a waste of time.

I kept waiting for more character development, but I never happened. The two young couples acting was cute but there "love story" took place between 2 scenes and bam "I love you" we don't get to see more into who they are as a couple. The character Jim had some development his character was kind and a romantic and intense. The parents portrayal was very accurate and can resonate with a lot of people. This would be a 10 if it wasn't so rushed. The actor Hero was actually really good his stares alone feel like he's looking at you lol you see this sweetness in his character. I wanted to know more about his love interest.

I'm a huge fan of the After series so when I heard Hero had a new movie out, I had to go and watch. Hero really carries this film and I was impressed with his range as an actor. Diane Kruger was fantastic as always. There was however something missing between the two romantic leads as others have pointed out. It's a shame the chemistry was lacking a little, but overall an enjoyable movie!

The reviews for this are absolutely terrible. I think everyone is a bit dramatic saying it's "a waste of 2 hours" but maybe I've just seen a lot of really bad movies and this one really wasn't the worst. It was not really about love it was about dealing with financial issues and the toll it takes on a family, So it is very misleading to call it "first love". The acting was just ok and I felt no desire for the watered down love story they portrayed to have a happy ending. There were many characters like the aunt and the brother who were in the movie for a few seconds or minutes and added absolutely nothing. It definitely didn't have anything special about it. A fairly forgettable movie.

This was a story about true love through the eyes of normal people. No frills, no fluff, no ridiculous outlandish gestures or circumstance.

It was a love story of not only the young couple, but of the parents as well.... It felt realistic, like this is the "ordinary person's" love story.... It felt believable.

If you are a true romantic, and believe in love, it really is worth the watch.

I think we have gotten so accustomed to these over the top, unrealistic love stories, that we forget that the average Joe & Jane, who are not well off, millionaires, or overly successful professionals meet and fall in love too!

This movie is simple, it's pure and a ticks a lot of the boxes for the hopeless romantic in us.

Watch it, and remember that love can be simple, easy and survivable through the trials/setbacks that come!
