Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

Fifty Shades Darker (2017)






Directed by: James Foley

Written by: Niall Leonard & E.L. James (novel)

Starring: Dakota Johnson & Jamie Dornan




So this film probably doesn't deserve 4 popcorns, but it was very entertaining and this is my blog so 😛

Anastasia Steele (Johnson) and Christian Grey (Dornan) aren't speaking to each other after what he did to her at the end of the first film.  (If you don't know what I'm talking about, go watch the first film.)  Nevertheless, Ana is doing well for herself.  She has a new job and she's taking her loneliness day by day.  Christian on the other hand is doing awful and wants - no, needs her back.  But will she go back?  And if so, what are the terms?

From the technical perspective of the film, it wasn't very good.  There were several camera angles that looked out of place, or perhaps it was the editor choosing crappy shots.

On the plot side, like I said it was entertaining.  This film is very close to the book (yes I've read them) and despite the continuous tension, Johnson is able to break it with one of her funny one-liners every time.  To be honest, she makes the film I think.  Mostly because she says exactly what the audience is thinking.  She's as new to this as we are; with the only experience we have being the first book/movie.

But don't expect it to get rave reviews or any awards.  It's fun to watch and the story keeps you interested without it just being all about sex.  4 popcorns.
