Sadly Over-hyped

From my favorite movies..

Awesome Movie

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The rating I made should say more than you need know.

What a waste of time this was - not just for me, the viewer, but for everyone involved. Honestly if you want to watch a dark and faintly steamy movie, just watch Twilight like all the other emo teens - it's also set in Seattle. This movie did get my heart rate up at times- not from being excited or turned on, no. It was bc of pure anger.***The point that got me FUMING was when, the night of being sexually assaulted at work, Ana's sipping wine in a cuddly bathrobe, not at all distressed or worried about what happened/her job LIKE WOMEN IN REAL LIFE WOULD. (she mentions wanting to work, breezily) How disrespectful of the writers/directors to all the women out there who've been through this and all the girls out there who one day will experience it. In the real world, WOMEN deal with $h!t, not their unicorn boyfriends - (who, for the record, stalked and pursued Ana AGAINST HER WILL until she was like 'fine ok'). It's one thing to be Hollywood-fairytale-esque, another to be offensive to all women who have to deal with patriarchal BS like sexual assault at work (often by themselves) and move on with their lives. #TimesUp

By that, I mean you want the lights off so you can't see their face. So turn your lights off, and while you're up just turn the TV off as well because there is no point watching this. Granted, this is ever so slightly better than it's predecessor. But that's like saying cat litter tastes nicer than dog poo, they're both excrements. I mean where to begin with the story? Christian Grey yearns for Anastasia and becomes a creepy stalker. Will they? Won't they? Again, I don't care. Oh, and random people from his past keep popping up like an unwanted STD. Speaking of, we were graced with Mr Grey ripping off a condom in the first film, just to encourage safe sex. In this? None of that. Spreading disease at a rate of Oprah Winfrey audience members getting presents. "You get a disease! You get a disease! Everybody gets a disease!!". We have our usual accompaniment of pop songs to the raunchy sex scenes. Bending over a pool table, bed or even the floor...that's about as raunchy as it gets. I actually miss the whips...what have I become!? The sex now just seems forced as it's no longer a plot device, but isn't that the point of this franchise? The acting and chemistry between our two leads is much better and far more watchable, with less cringeworthy lines of dialogue. It's still damn atrocious, just more tolerable. The pace is horrendously sluggish! Two hours! Felt like four. So many unexplored sub-plots that amount to nothing. Rita Ora though...perfection. She genuinely seems excited to be there. No one else does, just give them their wages and be done with this series. Will I be watching this again? Nope. This is just the kind of thing I put myself through for friendship. Foolish me.

Movie Review: "Fifty Shades Darker" (2017)Universal Pictures presents the successor to their 2015 smash erotic-thriller "Fifty Shades of Grey" directed by female director Sam Taylor-Johnson, who made way for routinized-thriller-director James Foley, known for "The Corruptor" (1999) starring Mark Wahlberg and Chow Yun-Fat, who brings stability to rocket-shacking relationship between media billionaire Christian Grey, hardly stripping off is boyish consumption, nevertheless under a convicted portrayal by actor Jamie Dornan becomes the title-inflicted main character a screening force to succeed in re-entering his bond to former-student, fairly-hard-working female lead Anastacia Steele, who had been coupe-indulgently be cast with actress Dakota Johnson, who shares everything in her powers to let "Fifty Shades Darker" succeeds its predecessor in terms of building cliffhanger situations with revolver-pulling ex-girlfriends, a Mrs. Robinson-typed in character of Elena Lincoln by shown-off dignified Kim Basinger getting publicly humiliated and fired Ex-bosses with trigger-happy minds in order to attract high-society-loving audiences in super-glossy visuals and a pop-striking soundtrack towards pain-inflicting premonition of a wishful conclusion.FAZIT: Picture approved (intriguing) © 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
