For all its structural and psychological deficiencies, it’s hard not to enjoy Fifty Shades Darker on its own lusciously limited terms. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

Feb 9, 2017

A strange good movie, bad in every way but its effect. And it’s an effective woman’s story, not exactly believable, but with another kind of truth, a truth of the heart. If that’s not enough, it’s close. Read full review

There's a lot of inadvertently hilarious stuff in Fifty Shades Darker. Read full review

Sometimes sexy, sometimes campy, Fifty Shades Darker is a smorgasbord of silliness, its dopey pleasures indistinguishable from its many awkwardly melodramatic moments. Read full review

Josh Kupecki

Apart from a few moments of fleeting suspense, Fifty Shades Darker resembles a Facebook feed of someone you kind of knew in high school who maybe went on to have a glamorous future, but everything seems a little bit off and contrived. Read full review

Leonard and Foley offer enough semi-naked sex scenes here to prove that quantity is no substitute for chemistry. Read full review

Fifty Shades Darker is very faithful to its predecessor’s vision. That is to say, it is another terrible movie with just the slightest whiff of self-awareness about how terrible it is. Read full review

It had all of the romance, emotion, suspense & of course the sex that the first one lacked. Great job with the screenplay because trying to get everything from the book into a 2 hour movie would dilute the story too much , so I understand why certain characters or stories were left out or changed. Would have maybe touched base with the psychiatrist as a character in the movie so you could truly understand how much emotional effort Christian is making to change for the better . I'm not quit sure why the critics are so harsh. Maybe they just don't understand the premise of this beautiful unique love story. Look ... this isn't supposed to be an academy award nominated movie, if you want that , then def see Lion, ( which absolutely deserves to win for best picture) . In any case , I enjoyed this movie much more then some of the critically acclaimed movies that I went to because of the critic's ratings. That's why if you ??Christian & Anastasia's love story then you will absolutely enjoy this movie. It went by fast, was a fun movie to see & like the books , I was sad it was over. I would even see it again . Def will purchase it when it comes out on DVD.… Expand

Pensei que depois do primeiro, não teria mais jeito. Mas gostei desse segyndo filme, está contando mais detalhes do livro e os atores são maravilhosos. Mil vezes melhor que o primeiro e mais fiel ao livro também. Gostei.

After watching Fifty Shades Darker, I was super-confused! 'cause it was better than Fifty Shades of Grey in somethings, and worse than it in somethings.

Things that was really better than the first one are:
It was really emotional, and romantic.
The performance was better than the first one.
The story was more powerful, but sometimes it made no sense, and it takes us to the things that were worse than the first one:
The story sometimes made no sense. Like how Leila was really a slave to Christian?
And how did she enter the apartment?
A lot of nonsense **** happened!
Things I did not like in this movie are:
Somehow the sex scenes were not erotic, and I hated that!
It took everything in the novel without thinking.
And the Unrated version was useless!
But I liked it though!… Expand

Led by a dumb protagonist, anchored by a non-existent plot, burdened by tedious pacing, overlong, decorated with atrocious dialogue, force fed with an unfocused and uninteresting mystery, bereft of all the tension in the book (especially regarding the Elena subplot), and acted with noLed by a dumb protagonist, anchored by a non-existent plot, burdened by tedious pacing, overlong, decorated with atrocious dialogue, force fed with an unfocused and uninteresting mystery, bereft of all the tension in the book (especially regarding the Elena subplot), and acted with no inspiration, Fifty Shades Darker can’t even be rescued by it’s occasional bursts of unintentional humour and a decent soundtrack.… Expand

The narrative ended with her (Dakota Johnson) walking out on her billionaire beau (Jamie Dornan). Before long, they're back together, which leads to endless intimate discussions about commitment, boundaries and other boring drivel. The dialogue is embarrassingly pedestrian (I was predicting a number of lines before they were uttered). The sex scenes lacked any eroticism (but plenty of nudity) and the S&M component was PG-rated kink. The sprinkling of suspense and disaster feel contrived and add nothing. It doesn't help that the obnoxious soundtrack pounds home the character's emotional state with often ridiculously literal lyrics. Even the scenes of opulence lack visual snap. You'd have to be a true masochist to endure this painful experience. NOTE: If you must go, stay thru the early credits to see a preview of the next one.… Expand

Ah merde, j'avais enregistré le film sur TFmerde et en le regardant ou plutôt en tentant de regarder cet immondice pour cerveaux dégoulinants par les oreilles, je vois un avertissement qui dit en substance que TFmerde passe la version soft censurée pour toutes les audiences de grande écouteAh merde, j'avais enregistré le film sur TFmerde et en le regardant ou plutôt en tentant de regarder cet immondice pour cerveaux dégoulinants par les oreilles, je vois un avertissement qui dit en substance que TFmerde passe la version soft censurée pour toutes les audiences de grande écoute du dimanche soir...

Et donc alors, pas de cul ou tellement édulcoré qu'on se croirait sur la chaîne papale. Putain. Bon, remarquez, on ne rate rien je crois, car la gonzesse n'est pas au niveau et ne se signale que par sa banalité affligeante. Pas vraiment bonnasse mais pas moche, pas assez chiennasse pour autant : juste une meuf générique qu'on prendrait à peine pour une pub de liquide à vaisselle.

Encore que, faut voir... parce qu'elle a une sale gueule. Sérieusement. Elle est vilaine et elle serait tellement mieux avec un sac sur la tête quand son bellâtre dopé à tronche de cake daigne la besogner de temps à autre. Et même lui attacher les poignets. Avec deux sangles en cuir. Oh mais quelle perversité, je vous demande de vous arrêter, je suis choqué !

Bon, on l'a compris, c'est de l'érotisme made in Harlequin, cucul-la -praline, réalisé par un Flanby derrière la caméra. Idéal pour ronfler en somme ! et d'une bêtise qui s'ignore, une bêtise hallucinante.… Expand

You should stay away from this utter garbage. It’s even worse than the first one. The writing, acting, directing, in a word everything in this film is uneven and awful. It feels more like a bad comedy than a romance/erotic movie.
