I have only watched the movie and want to read the book but then again I think I wouldn't enjoy it that much cause I have already watched the movie and the story is also the typical bad boy romance
Imagine if we had no secrets, no respite from the truth. What if everything was laid bare the moment, we introduced ourselves?

I loved both the books, but only watched the first movie. I think it was a ‘necessary’ movie though. Dating isn’t always sunshine and roses and this was a lovely real depiction of a dysfunction relationship. Had me glued to the pages.

Back when I was in school, I still remember how me and my friends used to take turns and read these novels. Honestly, the movies weren't too bad I would say. But the emotions that I felt back then while reading the books were just unreal.

After. I don't understand the need for After We Collided. Some movies are supposed to end, and not be stretched without a good storyline.

I haven't read the books, but I didn't like the movies much. They are fine.

I haven't given either the books or movies much of a chance, but if I had to either read the books or watch the movies, I'd choose to read the books.

I haven't read the books yet, but I did enjoy the movies. I should add these books to my list to read. I like the romance genre.

From my perspective, after is a gross movie with no exact point. The storyline is wack and just for porn. However, after we collided seems very interesting and I enjoy the plots

Ldpuff wrote: 30 Dec 2020, 22:03 How are we feeling about the movie versions of After and After We Collided? Both based off of the After series by Anna Todd. Of course I enjoy the books more than the movies, but I don’t think the movies were too bad.
Same here the movie was not bad at all. Although spiced up. It’s fair.

I'll say the books was more detailed compared to the movie. But the movie made it Soo real, the relationship of Hardin and Tessa be giving me a toxic vs healthy relationship argument. I don't regret reading the book and watch the movie it's so worth it

I read the series before they were published, I found them on Wattpad. When I first read them I was captivated by them, but when I saw the movies I was horrified at how we have romanticized toxic and dangerous relationships. The movies are BAD but the characters are worse. I reread the books after I watched the movies and got the same conclusion, Hardin is controlling, has a bad temper, and is an abuser (I mean... just read/watch why he got close to Tessa). Tessa is the classic princess type of girl, an innocent and overly protected girl that finds the perfect guy as soon as she gets some freedom. The story is just unrealistic, he guy doesn't even go to class (which shows how irresponsible he is) the girl is just starting college and has zero experience and somehow, they are able to live on their own, and live well.

I started reading After on Wattpad and immediately I heard the movie is out I couldn't help myself, I just had to watch it. Hardin and Tessa's relationship seems a little bit much, I see Hardin as an insecure guy and I feel Tessa has to give the relationship a break, maybe it might make Hardin grow up. But I love both of them big time, they're one of my favourite fictional characters

The entire After trilogy never should have happened in my opinion. It's just one big toxic mess of is relationship. They really should stop making movies out of almost anything.

I personally disliked the movies but I think the books were great. Teen romance isn't usually very easy to depict in movies but the movie does a good job.
