Leave your thoughts about Fifty Shades Darker.
| BeliefnetNell MinowLackluster fan service. I'd even call it vanilla. |
| The Patriot LedgerDana BarbutoLet's make no bones; the reason to see "Fifty Shades Dumber" is really for the plethora of erotic scenes, but without the benefit of a director with a knack for sexual choreography or leads with an ounce of chemistry, even those become impotent. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekFlamboyantly trashy fare...resembl[ing] nothing as much as a mediocre puff piece in a slick woman's magazine. |
| Consequence of SoundAllison ShoemakerDull at best, damaging at worst, and not worth a moment of your time. |
| FilmDrunkVincent ManciniFeels like the grandiloquent fantasy of someone very average. For a franchise built on supposedly kinky sex, this is barely more lurid than a Lifetime movie. |
| JunkeeMel CampbellDarker is also funnier than Grey: both intentionally, as Dornan discovers a goofiness to match Johnson's deadpan wit; and inadvertently, as it consists largely of grandiose gestures and tin-eared dialogue. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonThis tedious sequel is more of the same, for better and worse - except that it lacks the freshness of the original and feels more transparent in its effort to appeal strictly to basic instincts. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderJames Foley seems committed to preserving the atmosphere of flavorless, plot-free tedium and unsexy smut established by Sam Taylor-Johnson (and, presumably, carried over from E.L. James' novels, though there is no realistic way to know for sure). |
| Las Vegas Review-JournalChristopher LawrenceEveryone involved could have saved so much time and energy by charging triple the price for a ticket and combining all three books into one satisfying movie. Or at least one as satisfying as the source material would allow. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamThere continues to be no chemistry between department store mannequins Steele and Grey, and the world director James Foley builds around them is flat and unrecognizable as real life. |
