Gabriel's Inferno: Part 3

These movies have a similarity to Fifty Shades of Grey so much that it's almost a blatant copy. The main difference is with some of the character nuances between Gabriel in these movies, and Christian in Fifty Shades. But otherwise they are basically the same thing. Gabriel starts in the first movie as a stern and aggressive person. However, he does undergo a transformation and by the third film he's pretty much a softie. In fact, he's so accommodating to Julia that it's almost overdone - you can even start to question the strength of his character. Christian Grey, on the other had, remains more principled and in those films the female winds up being more accommodating to him, and even embraces his lifestyle at some point. The Fifty Shades movies are higher budget and there is a greater sense of wealth and privilege. But the Dante/Gabriel movies are thematically similar to such an extent that you would probably like them if you are a fan of this genre. I think this third movie in the series is better than the second - in fact, I think the second one could be skipped. The third is a bit more interesting because the couple travels to Italy and there is a bit more going on. But overall this is a fluff piece, it's entertaining but it isn't high caliber artistic film-making. They are mostly just working the formula here but it's watchable.
