I could imagine a 30% RT score, but 8%???


I could foresee a dumbass movie where fans like Isundling, Archer, Starzeshine, etc., would at least rally around. But if the reports are accurate, even die-hard fans are saying this movie is a disaster and it's utterly indefensible. It's one thing to say it sucks, but it's quite another for fans of E.L. James (undoubtedly the worst author in writing history) to walk out of the theater because the movie is so unwatchable, as many fans did. We even saw Jamie Dornan and Dakota giving laughable interviews while trying to somehow promote this trash, on the Today Show and other talk shows.

Of course, it's the frontrunner for all of the Razzies--we probably knew that before this damn thing was released, and I knew this all along--but this has closed the deal in remarkable fashion (8 percent on Rotten Tomatoes when I started typing this, now it's 6%).

This movie--and books--will go down in history as the worst series in movie/book history, right up there with Troll 2, Catwoman, Batman and Robin, Plan 9 from Outer Space, Ishtar, Leonard Part 6, and Battlefield Earth.

Yes, it's that bad!

But my main question is for isundling, starzshine, and archer... Will you gals (I think Archer is a guy) still support the next movie? Will you concede that this book and movie is terrible? Do you honestly think that E.L. James is a good author? Have you ever read anyone else?

Be your own critic and if you don't like it that much why take the time to comment on here?

Uh oh, are you a fan-apologist?

What's with the hostility? brian_007 is right. I was going in there, thinking, "okay, Darker had a better plot...it was more interesting..." this movie completely took a *beep* all over the book. It wasn't good. And I'm being my own critic. What can I say? FS was the junk food to my brain and even the first film was tolerable. It was kind of sexy. Darker was ridiculous to the point that the sex was boring. WTF? How can a film about BDSM be this boring? The leads had slightly better chemistry in FSoG. There is no chemistry in FSD, they're both boring and sadly, watching paint dry is more arousing than Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan's acting and relationship in the film. I hate to say it, but this film is by far the worst Erotic film.

It's trying to beat "Rings" in the Razzies. XD
