FIFTY SHADES FREED

Believing they have left behind shadowy figures from their past, newlyweds Christian and Ana fully embrace an inextricable connection and shared life of luxury. But just as she steps into her role as Mrs. Grey and he relaxes into an unfamiliar stability, new threats could jeopardise their happy ending before it even begins.

Oh dear… FIFTY SHADES FREED is the worst of the trilogy. It is cheesy, poorly scripted, and makes excessive use of nudity at times that have no relevance to the story. As far as acting goes, Dakota Johnson is eminently watchable and carries the movie, making the best of a completely uninteresting plot. And Jamie Dorman offers a lifeless, shallow performance. The threats to their happy life are not maximised for suspense — at least they are more thrilling than the rest of the movie — although using the word thrilling is an enormous exaggeration. The best actor in the movie is the Audi which is an obvious product placement. The climax of the series advertised on the posters never arrived. What a relief when it was over. The most exciting moment came when the credits rolled and the lights came on. Unless you really want to finish off seeing all three of the series, don’t bother.
