10Fifty Shades Freed Isn’t An Improvement Compared To Its Predecessors
Fifty Shades Freed Doesn’t Learn From Past Mistakes
TheFifty Shadesnovelsand pic are n’t on the dot the darling of critics and many casual readers and viewers . The novel have been endlessly criticized for their light inspiration fromTwilightand literary quality , yet they are very popular as they appeal to a very specific target . Unfortunately , their movie adaptations did n’t do much to pay back some of the novels ’ biggest problem and , instead , brought them to the gravid blind – and in some cases , made them defective .
WhileFifty Shades Of Greywasn’t praised by critics , it terminate up being an entertaining watch , but the same ca n’t be say forFifty Shades Freed . Instead of learning from the failures of the previous movie ( such as the lazy dialogue , pitiful character development , nonsensical twist , etc),Fifty Shades Freedmade them even worse , lacking any substance and becoming quite predictable .
9Fifty Shades Freed’s Dialogue Is Poorly Written
Dialogue Was Never The Strength Of The Fifty Shades Trilogy
There are lines at unlike point inFifty Shades Freedthat do n’t gibe the tone of the scene or the character reference .
One of the boastful weaknesses of theFifty Shadestrilogy – both the volume and picture show – is the talks . Fifty Shades Of Greyhas some painfully memorable lines that have been endlessly mocked for how badly write and out of tone they are ( such as when Christian tells Anastasia about how he care to have sexual activity ) , and unfortunately , this did n’t change in the sequels – it actually bring worse .
There are descent at different head inFifty Shades Freedthat do n’t suit the tone of the scene or the character , such as Anastasia ’s sudden burst of confidence to defend her spousal relationship from the maybe - too - favorable architect ( who might have not had that intention at all in the first place).The villain ’s dialog is also laughable and thus he ca n’t be read seriouslyas much asFifty Shades Freedwants to sell him as a threat , and with poorly write dialogue get another battle .
The final film in the Fifty Shades trilogy, Fifty Shades Freed follows the newlywed lives of Anatasia Steele and Christian Grey. Still riding high from their wedding, Ana and Christian are brought back down to earth when a break-in at Christian’s company heralds the return of an old nemesis, and outside forces threaten to pull the couple apart once more. Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan reprise their roles as Ana and Christian.
Fifty Shades of Grey is one of the most controversial movies of the 2010s and has a very dispirited Rotten Tomatoes score , but does it merit it ?
8The Lack Of Chemistry Is More Evident In Fifty Shades Freed
Dakota Johnson & Jamie Dornan’s Chemistry Was A Problem From The Beginning
While there were some moments inFifty Shades of Greywhere a connector between Johnson and Dornan was visible , these became less and less frequent in the sequels .
The chemistry between Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan inFifty Shades of Greyhas been divisive : while some critics pointed it out as one of the flick ’s big weaknesses , others found that their interpersonal chemistry was what sustain the flick afloat . While there were some moments inFifty Shades of Greywhere a connection between Johnson and Dornan was visible , these became less and less frequent in the sequels – which is n’t good as the sequels saw Anastasia and Christian ’s family relationship evolve , albeit a bit too fast .
There were a lot of hearsay about enmity between Johnson and Dornan on the set of theFifty Shadesmovies , which , substantial or not , affected their on - concealment performance . Johnson and Dornan felt more disconnected than ever inFifty Shades Freed , even though it ’s the movie where Anastasia and Christian get conjoin , Anastasia gets pregnant , and she ’s nobble . The lack of chemistry between the lead , along with poorly write negotiation , make the next footstep in Anastasia and Christian ’s relationship very hard to believe .

Fifty Shades Freed rivet on so many affair that it leave alone aside the core of the books and movies .
The one thing that made theFifty Shades of Greyfranchise both intriguing and controversial was its sorting as an “ titillating ” fib due to its BDSM composition . However , theFifty Shades of Greybooks have been call up out for their inaccurate and toxic delineation of BDSM , and there was only much the adaptations could do when convey these element to the big concealment . Still , Fifty Shades of Greyfound way to be aphrodisiac ( of course of study , what ’s aphrodisiac to some is n’t for others and that must be respected ) , which helped well trade the love story between Anastasia and Christian , butFifty Shades Freedforgot about it .
AlthoughFifty Shades Freeddoes have sex scene and somewhat intimate instant between Anastasia and Christian , it focuses on so many things that it result by the core of the books and motion-picture show . Fifty Shades Freedis no longer about BDSM and Anastasia open her mind to new experiences(and Christian too , who in previous movies had to open himself to less aggressive way of physical intimacy ) and more about many other things that , ultimately , create an unsexy and mussy movie .
6Fifty Shades Freed Has An Uneven Tone
Fifty Shades Freed Goes From Drama To Thriller With Unintentional Comedy
Fifty Shades Freedtried to be a thriller and natural process movie all of a sudden .
Fifty Shades Freedloses its path at dissimilar pointsdue to its wanting to cover too many underdeveloped subplots and different genres at the same time . TheFifty Shades of Greybooks and flick are , at their core , a drama / love story story ( though that does n’t stand for Anastasia and Christian had the healthy relationship ) , butFifty Shades Freedtried to take it further by attempting to become it into a thriller and action film all of a sudden .
As name above , Fifty Shades Freedsees Anastasia being kidnap by Jack Hyde ( Eric Johnson ) , her stalker and former genus Bos , with a car chase included as Christian rushes to redeem his pregnant married woman . Fifty Shades Freedisn’t done addressing the excited side of Anastasia and Christian ’s story and their current problems ( not just Hyde ’s mien but also Christian not want to be a father ) whenit on the spur of the moment jumpstart to its endeavor to be an legal action thriller , which terminate as suddenly as it set forth . Fifty ShadesFreed tried to be a love affair , titillating , activeness , and thriller motion-picture show and , unfortunately , give way at all of them .
5Fifty Shades Freed Focuses Too Much On Product Placement (& Christian’s Lifestyle)
Fifty Shades Freed Forgets What’s Important
One matter that can be very distracting in any motion picture if not done well is Cartesian product placement . Movies likeJurassic Worldare best remembered for their obvious and badly done product placement , and the same happened toFifty Shades Freed – the job is thatFifty Shades Freedalso had other weaknesses that made the product locating even more ridiculous . Since the first moving picture , theFifty Shadesfranchise was very expressed in indicate Christian ’s moneyed lifestyle , even if many things about it did n’t make much sentience .
Fifty Shades Freedis an even bigger display of Christian ’s princely lifestyle , realise in his and Anastasia ’s hymeneals , their honeymoon , Anastasia getting two bodyguards , Christian easily corrupt the house Anastasia casually pointed out once in the first movie , and more . The product placement , especially that of motorcar , is also very obvious and terminate up distracting from the already lean plot .
4Fifty Shades Freed Has No Character Development
Fifty Shades Freed’s Characters Even Take A Couple Of Steps Back
Fifty Shades Freedactually highlighted the worst trait of Christian and Anastasia without better them .
A big problem throughout the wholeFifty Shadesfranchise is its poor character development . Anastasia and Christian go through a lot together ( and Anastasia by herself ) , yet in every picture show they go through slight to no character development . Christian , in particular , has mo in each motion-picture show where he seems to be about to go through much - needed fiber ontogenesis only to take many steps back and cease up in the same place or worse .
Meanwhile , Anastasia has no clear guidance in any of the three picture . Just when she set out showing her military strength and empowerment , she ’s reduced to a character with no agencywho is easily fudge by Christian and those around them . Fifty Shades Freedactually play up the speculative trait of Christian and Anastasia without improving them , and the former ’s “ change ” at the end is not believable and feels pressure .
3Fifty Shades Freed’s “Big Twist” Is Unnecessary
Fifty Shades Freed Has A Predictable Villain Twist
Hyde was made into the villain ofFifty Shades Freedwith a turn of events in his need .
TheFifty Shadesfranchise is not one where twists would be expect , as the focus is Anastasia and Christian ’s relationship and the latter ’s BDSM practices , butFifty Shades Freed , in its attempt to be more than an titillating Romance language movie , had an unneeded and predictable twist . Fifty Shades Darkerintroduced Jack Hyde and saw him being fired after attempt to sexually assault Anastasia . At the ending ofFifty Shades Darker , Hyde was shown staring at the Greys ’ mansion from a far aloofness , teasing his riposte in the subsequence .
Hyde was made into the villain ofFifty Shades Freedwith a turn in his motivations : it was n’t just “ retaliation ” against Anastasia for having him burn down and postulate his job , but against Christian too , because they were placed in the same foster home base when they were kids . Jack resent Christian for being adopted by the Grey mob and becoming the moneyed man he now was , which he felt should have take place to him . This “ twisting ” was nonsensical , predictable , and unnecessary , and did n’t do much to impact Christian except make him see how toxic and potentially dangerous he was , yet did n’t change after that .
2Fifty Shades Freed’s Story Doesn’t Make Sense
Fifty Shades Freed Loses Itself Pretty Fast
The trouble withFifty Shades Freedis not only that it had too many subplots , but that these were underdeveloped .
TheFifty Shadesmovies step by step misplace focus untilFifty Shades Freedwas left with almost none . What started as a trilogy about a vernal woman ’s kinship with a moneyed adult male with very specific interests when it comes to sex cursorily turn into a generic story with failed seek to make it more exciting ( such as with the whole Jack Hyde storyline).Fifty Shades Freedbegins with Anastasia and Christian ’s marriage ceremony and honeymoon and promptly modify its course to bring in Hyde into the mix and Anastasia ’s pregnancy .
The trouble withFifty Shades Freedis not only that it had too many subplots , but that these were developing and the manner they link up felt forced . Hyde ’s plan made no senseand was used in the movie to incite a change in Christian that , ultimately , was n’t credible , it project in random “ obstacles ” and characters to attempt to add together conflict to Anastasia ’s family relationship ( and Kate ’s , despite being a small-scale character ) , andthere was no clear direction for any of the characters . The old movies also struggle to have logical stories , but they had a well-defined purpose thanFifty Shades Freed .
1Fifty Shades Freed Highlights How Toxic Christian Grey Is
Fifty Shades Freed Makes Anastasia & Christian’s Relationship Worse
Christian Grey does n’t go through much character developing in three flick .
One of the most controversial element of theFifty Shadesfranchise is the character of Christian Grey . Christian is meant to be the orphic , handsome , and loaded sexual love interest with a dark past and personal conflict he keep back to himself . Unlike many other character with a similar design , Christian Grey does n’t go through much character development in three movies and is essentially the same toxic partner in the first and the third picture . Fifty Shades Darkersaw some changes in Christian as he opened up to have a right relationship with Anastasia , butFifty Shades Freedtook many step back .
Christian was furious when he take of Anastasia ’s pregnancy as he had many more plans for them , andcontinued emotionally manipulating herafter that , even visit his former BDSM dom ( and the char who groomed him for years ) . Christian only swallow the pregnancy after Anastasia ’s snatch because the sister is of import to her , but not quite to him yet . TheFifty Shadesmovies disguise maltreatment and use as Romance language , and this was a gravid trouble inFifty Shades Freed .
The concluding picture in the Fifty Shades trilogy , Fifty Shades Freed conform to the newlywed lives of Anatasia Steele and Christian Grey . Still depend on high from their wedding , Ana and Christian are make for back down to earth when a breach - in at Christian ’s company heralds the homecoming of an old curse , and outside power threaten to pull the yoke apart once more .
