I'm sure the writers and actors and everyone involved worked really hard to produce this movie but I feel like it totally let down any fans of the book series. The whole series is filled with turmoil and deep seeded issues from Hardin's past, it's what make everything so complex. The movie barely glosses over his past life before Tessa and never truly gets to the root of their relationship where Tessa becomes his savior and he becomes her release. I had very low expectations for this film and unfortunately was still disappointed.
