Review of Fifty Shades Darker (2017) by Keanex — 27 Feb 2017
The sequel takes everything bad about the first and amplifies it. Any depth of the first is largely gone in the second, character development is null outside of the minimal development from Anna and Christian. The secondary characters are so forgetful that even familiar faces are little more than extras. The entirety of the script is centered around getting form point a to point b, with both of those points being sex. Anna and Christian fight, sex. Anna and Christian are happy, sex. Christian gets into a helicopter crash, sex. It seems the whole world's problems can be solved by sex in this world.
The cinematography is actually pretty decent, as is the soundtrack. Unfortunately the song choices rarely make sense for the mood of the scene unlike the first.
Listen, I'm not telling you to avoid this, I'm not telling you to watch it either. This is the movie equivalent of Taco Bell, it's okay to consume on occasion, but it should be avoided with any regularity.
