Cinquenta Tons Mais Escuros

You know what you're going to get when you watch this so why all the low ratings? It was never going to win an Oscar. It's a decent watch and I quite like watching how their relationship develops over the three films. It's easy watching and whilst I agree he can be a bit wooden at times, I think that's the point of his character. He's not comfortable with emotion! I think it's an easy watching love story and shows how two people develop and compromise when they love each other. Yes, it will never win awards but it is enjoyable. And for the record, I never read the books until years after they came out. I'm not a die hard fan of them at all as found them quite repetitive, but I did enjoy the films.

Storyline: 0/10 I don't really see any up or down in the story-line. It's only sex and sex and nonsense stuff. I meant "stuff" because there's nothing to describe. Honestly, people come to watch the movie because of the sex scene only, and it is even worse than the 1st part. Lesson: if you're rich, you get everything, even a sex slave. That is literally everything from the movie. I rarely say a movie is bad, but this movie is so bad that I even hate it. I regret my $10 and 120minutes watching a bunch of BS like this.

I sat through the last half of 50 shades darker today because my sister was using my Macbook to watch it... Let me sum it up for you:

Him: "I'm not good with people because I'm mysterious."

Her: "I like mysterious, but I'm scared cause I'm fragile."

Him: "Don't be afraid, I'm the one who is afraid... of hurting you."

*Have Some Sex*

Her: "You're so thoughtful, maybe I misjudged you. Now I want to be hurt... just not emotionally."

Him: "I always hurt people, but I would never hurt you... unless you wanted me to."

Her: "Ouch, you hurt me. Now my feelings are hurt and I'm sad and my whole life hurts."

Him: "I'm sorry if I hurt you. I'll try harder, but I don't think I'll ever change.'

Her: "I'm gonna pretend like I didn't hear that, but please don't hurt me again. I trust you to change for me- projects are fun."

Him: "Put these things in your ass."

Her: "No." Him: "Okay, I'm not good with people because I'm mysterious."

*Have Some Sex Again*

Aaaand Credits

The predictable plotting and the boring dialogues makes this sequel automatically uninteresting. "Fifty Shades Darker" is worst than the first movie because the characters have learned nothing and repeat the exact same unhealthy relationship. The two beautiful protagonists do their bests to treating sex like a pleasurable activity but is not enough and the result is not good. The thriller narrative, involving persons from Grey's strange past, exposes the shallowness of the story. What made the first unit of this trilogy so much better than the current version is that everything was then new. But now that we are familiar with the equipment in Christian's lavish penthouse, the novelty is gone and the boredom is here.

OK. So why does it seem many haters are men? That is not the target audience. I liked the eye candy ie Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan. For me, one of the funniest scenes is the exchange between Ana and Hanna after Ana gets Jack's old job. Right out of Working Girl! Did anybody else pick up on that? I read only about the Fifty Shades phenomena-not read the books. Watching this film caused me to watch the first and third movies. This isn't any great film. Most films aren't expected to be cinematic classics. The best thing I liked about this movie was the soundtrack.
