Movie Review – Fifty Shades Freed

I’m not an old fan of the 50 Shades trilogy — in fact, this is the only movie in the series I watched. However, I can happily say I wasn’t lost at all, so first timers can pop in and enjoy it. It had a decent story, which I was not expecting, based on the big heavy “bondage” hype. [pullquote position=”right”]By this, I mean there is a real plot, and good characters, and some actual jeopardy to move things along.[/pullquote]

There was also a bit of humor and some personal growth, along with very luxurious “lifestyle” porn. Clearly, this is kind of a wish fulfillment fantasy film. It didn’t seem very realistic, but I understand that’s not important here. I’m just glad there was enough story between the sex scenes to make me care about the characters.

On another note, I think the entire cinema room was composed of women. There might have been one or two men, but the women were in full force, and clearly having a blast with their gal pals, giggling and chortling, getting into the spirit of things. Even during some sad/emotional scenes, they were laughing and cheering. I’m not sure I understood that, but at least they were having fun.
