Intended to be a continuation, this sequel seems more like an unnecessary prolongation. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/10 | Feb 28, 2023

Aided by one of the worst climaxes in film history, Fifty Shades Darker fails in every possible way.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Feb 18, 2022

This will be a great film to watch on mute.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 29, 2021

It's a vanilla picture that fancies itself daring and erotic. Honestly, viewers will likely find more sexual currency in The LEGO Batman Movie than in this picture.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 17, 2021

A cold shower of a movie. 'It's all wrong,' Ana says at one point. 'All of this is wrong.' Truer words have never been spoken.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 4, 2021

Fifty Shades Darker seems like it's supposed to be naughty and kinky, but it just comes off as self-serious without the expertise or know-how to make it worthwhile.

Christian reiterates that he makes $24,000 every 15 minutes, which is impressive for a guy who grew up with a "The Chronicles of Riddick" poster on his bedroom wall.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 5, 2020

Fifty Shades Darker isn't love. It's abuse. Pure and simple.

| Original Score: 0/4.0 | Sep 7, 2020

You can be a feminist and like 'Fifty Shades'. You can be a cinephile and still understand why 'Fifty Shades' exists and finds its audience. Of course I wish that those women (and me) had more choice and a better choice.

Who are these films made for?

Let's all pour hot lava into our eyes. [Full review in Spanish]

This movie was mind-numbing.

| May 11, 2020

This movie was garbage.

They are about people who talk a lot about feelings and love and closeness and pain, but we never see any clear-cut examples of any of them. There's a lot of telling, but almost no showing.

| May 1, 2020

My one bugaboo about the first film was its unwillingness to lean as hard into schlock territory as it could have, and Fifty Shades Darker most certainly does.

| Mar 27, 2020

It does have a fatal flaw, though. It's boring. Halfway through, I gave up looking for originality in the plot and started wondering what to get from McDonald's for lunch.

Fifty Shades Darker is another boring entry into a series that is somehow shaping up to be even worse than the source material it is based on.

| Original Score: .5/10 | May 22, 2019

One of the least likable couples in the history of visual media.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 17, 2019

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you like garbage.

| Apr 23, 2019

Darker flails indecisively between elegance and lewdness and ends up owning neither. Bland, silly and riddled with bewildering and snort-inducing moments, Fifty Shades Darker is ultimately unsatisfying.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 7, 2019
