One of the worst movies I've seen in years. Terrible acting, no plot and pointless sex scenes.
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.
While not having particularly high expectations, it must be said, I did go into this film with an open mind. However only a few minutes in and I already felt the urge to leave and fill my brain with something less awful and mind rotting.
It's not just the non-existent plot and hammy acting that let this film down, although they were major factors, the chemistry between the two leads was like watching two planks of wood getting together. None of what I saw made me believe he was an irresistible sex god with a dark side. And with Ana, let's just say biting ones lip every time something is suggested gets a bit old.
Furthermore, without wanting to spoil, is her IQ supposed to be about 50? I have to ask because she pretty much agrees to everything he says, and not in a dom/sub kind of way, more just because she doesn't seem to have the mental ability to argue. You have to wonder how she's employed in the first place.
I've seen some absolutely dire films but I can honestly say this is the worst film I've ever seen.

This movie is so awful, that it is hard to find words to describe it. I really can't imagine why there are so many people that are willing to go and see in in the cinemas. This movie is not bad, because of the idea for an affair between a rich businessman and a normal girl. It is bad because the dialogues are flat, the characters are terrible and without any depth, there is no actual acting in it, and for the final the story is badly written.
It is really sad, that such a badly made movies are so popular. They destroy the idea for good movie with acting, script and everything else. And if you expect to see at least a lot of erotic in it, you may fell a bit disappointed at the end. The movie is far from that it promises to its viewers.

Neither as good or as bad as so many commentators seem to think. It has high production values. The direction is unobtrusive. I haven't read the novels, so cannot really comment on the source material. Dakota Johnson hit the corruptible ingenue character pretty well, and looks smashing while doing so. Jamie Dornan, though... In my comments on the first movie, I compared his depth of emotion to a terminator. In this one, he at least attempts some emotional scenes. He doesn't do them very well, but he tries. Supporting cast, especially Marcia Gay Harden, were pretty good, with the exception of Kim Basinger. There is really no reason to see this, except as a continuation of the first movie. It could never stand alone.

- TriviaAna says "I expect you to call me Ana. I don't expect you to fetch me coffee unless you're getting some for yourself, and um, the rest we'll just make up as we go along." Melanie Griffith, Dakota Johnson's mother, said the same thing in Working Girl (1988).
- GoofsIn Christians apartment, several 'set' items changed from the first movie. Even though the writers want you to believe the second film's story picks up shortly after the end of the first film's ending. The art piece on the window wall changed. The large table in front of the window where in the first film he states that he's "Fifty shades fucked up" changed. Most visually obvious was the fireplace. This second film has a much larger one and now there's a TV above it where there was none in the first. The design of the staircase changed dramatically. The door to the playroom was white, but now it's dark.

Anastasia Steele: What'd you buy?
Christian Grey: An airline.
- Crazy creditsIn the theatrical & home media releases, the brief teaser trailer for Cinquante Nuances plus claires (2018) is shown halfway through the closing credits. On the HBO version, the trailer is deleted to go to straight into the shortened Perfect World Pictures logo.
- Alternate versionsThe running time quoted by IMDB, "1h 58m," is for the theatrical release. There is also an extended, unrated version, running about 13 minutes longer. The unrated version includes more sex and nudity and also alternate, more explicit takes, with 2 extended sex scenes plus 1 additional one, wherein the couple engage in sex after a game of billiards. It also has two scenes with Jennifer Ehle as Carla, Dakota Johnson/Anastasia's mother. Ehle is thus only credited in the unrated cut.
