Fifty Shades Darker

What to Know

Critics Consensus

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.

Fifty Shades Darker | Rotten Tomatoes (1) K. Austin Collins The Ringer I'll give Fifty Shades Darker this much, at least: The sex scenes are OK. Aug 10, 2017 Full Review Fifty Shades Darker | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Gary M. Kramer Salon.com Fifty Shades Darker is not darker or better. It's watered down, raincoat-brigade style erotica, even with the spiced-vanilla S&M. Mar 3, 2017 Full Review Fifty Shades Darker | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Sarah Marshall The New Republic Fifty Shades Darker, which fails so many tests of basic storytelling competence, is all the more stunning for its success at a task that most movies don't even bother attempting: depicting a woman's sexual pleasure. Feb 24, 2017 Full Review Fifty Shades Darker | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Ezequiel Obregón EscribiendoCine Intended to be a continuation, this sequel seems more like an unnecessary prolongation. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/10 Feb 28, 2023 Full Review Fifty Shades Darker | Rotten Tomatoes (5) David Gonzalez The Cinematic Reel Aided by one of the worst climaxes in film history, Fifty Shades Darker fails in every possible way.

Janice Q It's a love story about two people who people wouldn't expect to be together but they make it work. He changes because of Anna's love. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Anna P The utter lack of chemistry between the two leads left me frustrated. I've never been so bored during a sex scene. Christian is a terrible character and Anna's constant co-signing of his abusive behavior left me yelling at the screen. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Elvis D La primera película fue bastante cuestionable en ciertos aspectos por ser una película de romance o por no cumplir como película erótica, pero no se podía esperar mucho al tratarse de la primera parte de la trilogía y solo sirvió como introducción. Esta segunda parte tiene casi los mismos fallos que la primera, pero hay que admitir que es mejor. Quizás haber cambiado a la directora de la película anterior por el director del clásico At Close Range y hasta haber involucrado a la autora de la novela en la producción fue un acierto.La película tiene unas pocas mejoras tanto en la historia como en el guion y en el desarrollo de Christian. Muchos han criticado a Christian por las intenciones que tenía con Anastasia en la entrega anterior, pero esta película deja en claro que se trata de alguien con un duro pasado que lo dejo psicológicamente dañado. Siempre se dice que las personas que tienen un daño psicológico que descargan sobre sus parejas siempre usan el trauma para justificar sus acciones. Aunque en parte es cierto, hay hombres que tenemos toda la justa razón en hacer eso porque necesitamos satisfacer lo que sentimos aunque sea con alguien cercano. Christian actúa como si quisiera cambiar, pero la realidad es que los hombres como él no cambiamos, solo nos adaptamos al nuevo entorno que nos ofrece una relación. Se puede notar que Anastasia también se adapta a los gustos de Christian, por más que actúe como una mujer que no quiere ser sumisa. Lo cierto es que en una relación ninguno puede cambiar aunque lo parezca, lo único que hacen es adaptarse al entorno del otro y solo el tiempo decide cuanto va a durar eso.Algunos pueden pensar que Christian realmente ama a Anastasia y otros pensaran que solo quiere poseerla. Lo cierto es que Anastasia le ofrece afecto y amor a Christian a pesar de sus gustos. La realidad es que los hombres que podemos parecer fríos, duros, perversos o unos monstruos realmente necesitamos afecto, incluso aquellos que somos incapaces de amar o sentir afecto. Anastasia hace lo correcto en entregarse a Christian porque lo que ella siente por él lo ayuda sanar. Ella también hace lo correcto en adaptarse a los gustos de Christian porque si realmente amas a alguien, debes aceptarlo tal y como es por más que sea alguien perverso o psicológicamente inestable. Sin olvidar que satisfacer sus gustos, sin cuestionarlo, también debería ser ley. Esta es sin duda la historia de romance que las chicas de hoy necesitan para darle a gente como Christian Grey ese afecto (y mascota sumisa) que tanto necesitan.Las escenas eróticas también son cortas y limitadas, pero se sienten mejores que las que había en la película anterior. Aquí son un poco más creíbles y de haber habido más, esta película quizás pudo haber estado cerca de ser lo que la película anterior no fue. Aún había más cosas que podrían haber mejorado bastante esta película, como el caso de Leila, que ofrece una cierta intriga. Este personaje sin duda hubiera aportado mucho y es una pena que también la hayan limitado.Fifty Shades Darker es una mejora que ofrece un poco más que la primera película, compensa el débil inicio de la trilogía con un mejor acercamiento a la relación de los protagonistas y es una película romántica que hace lo correcto en enseñar que los hombres como Christian Grey tienen un lado humano que necesita ser vista, comprendida y aceptada con un corazón que les ofrezca aquello que nunca tuvieron. Algo que ningún terapeuta jamás será capaz de ofrecer. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 8/10. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/24 Full Review Jake D Showstopping, spectacular. I am a better man having experienced this film. Don't get me wrong: it makes no sense and no three scenes feel like they're from the same film. However, forget everything you know about sex, cinematography, the way stories and pacing work, then watch it without prior knowledge of the 50 Shades franchise and you will have the time of your life. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/11/24 Full Review Blu B It's like a bad combo of a Soap Opera, Lifetime Movie, and softcore p*rn. That's the best way to describe this. Generic music, horrifically bad editing and pacing are really what kills any hope for this. Things just happen and feel so over the top with no real flow or cohesion. If you take one event out like Anna's boss or any of the dragged out sex scenes nothing is really lost. Really the only things that matter is they get bakc together and they get engaged. A whopping 5 minutes worth of actual important story. The rest is so boring and over the top trying to make up for any lack of substance. The acting isn't good mainly because the hcaracter are written terribly and there isn't much to work with. The dialouge is clunky and the motivations are always muddled and unclear. It's never really made clear at the ned of the day why Anna wants to go back with Christian. Christian is wooden and just isn't likeable at all. Everyone else is super forgettable. The cinematography is a big step down from the first one in terms of framing and camerawork and just bad overall. Half the scenes are dimly lit and the rest is just sex scenes that aren't even worth the price of admission. Why watch this when you can just watch free p*rn. This alternates between befuddled questionable decision drama and dragged out sex scenes. Skip This. They get back together and get engaged. That's all you need to know. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review Gelaine G This movie is a captivating and intense continuation of the romantic journey between Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey. The film delves deeper into their complex relationship, unveiling layers of passion, suspense, and intrigue. While some might find it steamy and engrossing, others might be drawn to its thrilling storyline. With a mix of sensuality and drama, Fifty Shades Darker offers an engaging sequel that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. I watched it in one of the free movie sites https://3355.tv/jianjie/81369.html when I was in china. it's a good movie for adults.
