When I watched the first 2 movies, last year, I LOVED them. (I think I watched the first movie 5 times in the first week of finding it on Netflix.) Yes, Hardin's controlling personality was a bit of a turn off, but the other stuff 😉😉 made up for it.
A couple of things that I did like was Hardin's growth as a character. I truly liked the new Hardin...and Tessa not giving up her dreams for him...that was a huge step for her, too.
Other than those things, it felt so choppy. Not exactly as bad as the 50 Shades movies, but close. They really shouldn't have rushed putting this together. I hope the 4th one is better.
