Every fairy tale has a dark side.
When a wounded Christian Grey tries to entice a cautious Ana Steele back into his life, she demands a new arrangement before she will give him another chance. As the two begin to build trust and find stability, shadowy figures from Christian’s past start to circle the couple, determined to destroy their hopes for a future together.

Poor old “Christian” (Jamie Dornan) is pining for “Ana” (Dakota Johnson) and so manages to wheedle his way back into her life - by buying her publisher employers, and by promising to change from his more sadistic self into something altogether more agreeable to her. Snag? Well she isn’t really interested in a newly reformed boyfriend, but instead craves the leather trappings of their sexual adventures. What she isn’t so keen on, either, is her introduction to some of his previous playmates - some of whom are less than impressed with his current infatuation, especially when he mentions the “m” word to her. Aside from a few really tame scenes of soft-porn, during which Dornan manages to avoid any active participation, there is nothing remotely memorable about this thinnest of stories as it serves as little more than links between spankings. Perhaps I’m just too desensitised to dimly lit kinkiness nowadays, but with banal dialogue throughout I almost wished I was on that helicopter, too.

<em>'Fifty Shades Darker'</em> is a surprise small improvement on its predecessor, though admittedly not anything worthy of describing as good. It felt like this one had a touch more meat on the bones, it's slightly more digestible anyway; if ignoring events last time out. The film does take the cheap way out mind you, focusing on two 'worse' characters which allows you to look past the iffy questions regarding the leading pair's relationship. I didn't cringe as much for this 2017 flick, which is a decent sign that I had a marginal better time. Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan remain a fine pair as actors, I don't have anything against those two to be honest. The side of the story involving Bella Heathcote's character did honestly interest me a little bit early on, of course it doesn't end up delivering but still. Now to see if <em>'Fifty Shades Freed'</em> continued the upward trajectory <i>(x = doubt)</i>.

Ok, my fiance loves these films (but she's worse than me when it comes to sex in movies, and I'll sit through some serious crap for it) so we went to go see it on Valentines Day. And I am going to point out the problem, and I will do it by quoting the synopsis: "Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her." Yeah, that takes all of about 5 minutes of time in the film. It's the plot of the movie...and it takes about 5 minutes total. The problem is solved really quickly, in the middle of the film, and never comes up again. It's like an after thought....but it's the plot. I've seen movies based on T and A in the past that have actually more plot focus than this. But let's be honest, you are only watching it for the BDSM (which it is also light on) so I can't even give it 10 stars for that, and I am an easy grader when it comes to most movie reviews.

**The next fifty shades between an ordinary woman and a billionaire.** The film was not received well as the book was. Just like the first film, it has been another below average. Might be because of its theme. Usually this kind of films do great business, but ratings and reviews does not praise or encourage the film. So I doubt anybody will be bored of it, which means watchable film and instead it won't be their favourite. The story continued and this time it was not based on experiment or any kind of agreement, but mutual understanding. So the billionaire Grey and Ana's erotic adventure sustains. With the small-small developments the film goes all the way to the ending. That means, those who are watching it for the selected scenes, will surely would have a nice time. But nothing was strong as any European film on the similar theme. Apart from the weak storyline, there's nothing wrong with it. As to what this film is about, it served better. That's what I say to you not to expect full storied romance-drama. As usual the actors were good and another two films to come in the 'Fifty Shades' franchise. I hope they can be better than the first two. Overall, it is only for the selected audience, but curiosity makes everybody watch it and they all pour they perspective which is flooded with average to negative. Otherwise, it is an acceptable film. _6/10_
