what timing! In the era of #MeToo and #Time's Up, it hardly seems like the moment for a movie about a woman who does the sexual bidding of a powerful rich dude
to her credit, Johnson actually turns in her best Shades stuff here ... Too bad it's not enough to save everything else about this whole silly affair's fumbling climax
strip the pleasure away from a guilty pleasure and what are you left with exactly? Fifty Shades Freed, answers that question with every ludicrous plot twist, stilted line delivery, and too-laughable-to-be-hot sex scene
Fifty Shades Freed concludes the trilogy as it began, with a romance you can't believe in, endless montages of affluence, lousy dialogue, weak plotting, and - admittedly - a heck of a lot of sex
closing the book on what is arguably one of the worst film franchises in recent memory, Fifty Shades Freed doesn't quite end with the bang one would hope for
