## Plot

When a wounded Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) tries to entice a cautious Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) 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 them, determined to destroy their hopes for a future together.

## Why It's Darker (and in a **BAD** way)

1. The movie does not improve anything from the previous film. The characters are as flat as cardboard and nothing is interesting or likable about them.
2. The sex scenes are dull and unattractive, although the first one was arousing, here in this one its a joke and very tacky, since they made a terrible degradation, apparently it seems that it was done by a university student who does not know anything, which 80% of people will be discouraged, since no scene will be salvageable.
3. The plot gets so generic and boring.
4. The men in this movie treat Ana like some kind of sex toy, and while Ana herself isn't particularly likable, the way they treat her actually makes you feel sorry for her.
5. The relationship between Christian and Ana isn't good. Christian tells Ana to do stuff and she does it with no force, but when he told her to do something and she responded with no, he gets angry at her.
6. The movie tries so hard to be romantic and sexy, but the movie fails and becomes really boring and bland.
7. There is no real story or plot to this movie. Its just porn and abuse whatsoever.

## Redeeming Qualities

1. Great soundtrack, with songs like "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" by Zayn feat. Taylor Swift, "Cruise" by Kygo feat. Andrew Jackson, and “Bom Bidi Bom” by Nick Jonas.
2. The cinematography is good and beautiful.
3. Dakota Johnson's performance has significantly improved from the previous film.
4. Turning a fanfiction into a film is a unique idea as the Fifty Shades trilogy started as a fanfiction of *The Twilight Saga* by Stephanie Meyer.

## Reception

Much like its predecessor, *Fifty Shades Darker* received generally negative reviews by critics and audiences for its screenplay, acting, and narrative, though Danny Elfman's score and some of the performances received some praise. Rotten Tomatoes score is sitting on an 11% rating, with a critical consensus that reads, "Lacking enough chemistry heat or narrative friction to satisfy, the limp *Fifty Shades Darker* wants to be kinky but only serves as its own form of punishment". Metacritic's score is 33/100.

Jeremy Jahns gave it a Dogshit!² rating. Chris Stuckmann gave it as he says it in his review "A big fat fucking F!". The movie currently has a Google users rating of "85% of users liked this film".
