After 5: Capitolo finale

As a longtime fan following this franchise, it was obvious some stuff went down outside of filming. I guess the repercussions of that meant losing Josephine as our female lead. What's After without the source of the story? Don't get me wrong, Hero was great. But it didn't feel the same. He was incomplete. This movie served no purpose other than to promote Hero in a stand alone film. It was watchable but if you're watching it as part of the series, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Completely and utterly offensive to see Josephine only have about 15 minutes of legitimate screen time. And I'm not talking about flashbacks. What even was that? I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm glad the After era is over.

All the 4 previous movies were amazing, all of them. I truly loved them all. But this one, the fifth didn't cut it. I wish they ended the series with movie number 4 and not this one.

I feel disappointed and I feel we didn't get much from this movie. I badly wanted this movie to be as good as the previous ones, but NOOO this wasn't any good!

Something I wish we saw more of was Josephine, where was she? This movie was a love story between Hardin and Tessa, but in this movie, we hardly got to see her. So damn dissapointing.

I feel the ending was super rushed. I feel seriously super disappointed. I'm going to pretend this movie doesn't exist and the previous 4 only does.

I gave this movie 3 stars, due to their bare minimum effort! LOL!

But still, you have to watch this because it's the ending of the whole story. You can't NOT watch it, you have to see it, to see how this story ended. But will you be disappointed, YES!!

I wanted an ending to this wonderful story, it's been a journey for me! There is a rushed version of it, ten minutes or so, with two epic songs of Amber Run and James Bay! That's the whole movie.

The rest is a Portuguese vacation for the movie makers and don't get me wrong, it's beautifully filmed. The problem is that it has no story and very little to do with After. The feeling of the books is completely lost to a filler that looks like youtube lounge chillout background.

I have many harsh words for the executive team, but in the end, what truly matters is that they learn from this mistake, so no other beloved stories get butchered like this.

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.
