It is definitely and acquired taste. If you are into these kind of movies then you will love it. If you are not then you probably will not. Personally, I love these kind of movies. Unrealistic kind of dark romances are my favorites to read. This is also the best book/movie in the series if you were wondering. You get to know the characters more personally. If you have a slightly deranged taste in fiction then it is truly worth checking out.
