Full Review (Spoilers)

Fifty Shades Darker is a poor attempt to make a steamy but dark franchise. You find your characters changing their beliefs in under a week. That’s very hard to believe in a world today. When you have boring performances with a weak plot you’re bond to get a crap. Only go and watch this movie if you’re a fan of the first one. It continues the same theme and just adds in more sex scenes.

Fifty Shades Darker (2017) is directed by James Foley and stars Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, Eric Johnson and Kim Basinger. It runs 118 minutes and is rated R. You can look up the full cast and crew on IMDb. You might also like my The Lego Batman review.

DC's Hypothetical Corner

Let’s say I change one thing. Maybe that one thing will make this movie better or more watchable.

I’d slow down the characters changing their beliefs in under a week and give it a stronger plot.
