I think the 'Fifity Shades' movies were always going to have a tough task in front of them to please people. The reason? Because it is so hard for them to balance everything. Audiences want intense sex scenes - but not pornography, they want a genuine love story to be created - but they want it done quickly so there is plenty of time left over for the kinky stuff, they want boundaries to be pushed - but again not porn and nothing that is going to make them uncomfortable. That's all fine, but then consider that almost every audience is going to want different degrees of each of these aspects, and you're pretty much doomed before you even put pen to pad.
With books, generally only the people that are interested in them end up reading them. However this is not the same for movies. Because very few people are comfortable going to movies on their own, they end up dragging along people with them who are less enthused about the film, and thus a lot of the negativity is created. I don't think it's deserved. People need to go into these movies with what they are trying to be in mind. Do that and you're not going to have a bad time. Sadly though, very few people do that - especially around Oscar time when these films tend to be released.
'Fifty Shades Darker' is a harmless film. It's a love story with a difference. It's a film that is supposed to make you think a different way about relationships and how we all act towards each other. I can assure you there are far less convincing love stories being made into movies out there. Don't be influenced by the bad publicity out there surrounding these films. Judge them for yourself.
