The only thing getting dimmer in Fifty Shades Darker is the interest of anyone involved in this passionless romance.

The results did not end well.

We wound up with a lousy date movie that tried to make a sincere romance out of erotica filler.

Fifty Shades Darkerdoesnt even try.

Dont let the title fool you.

This is developed and solved in a second scene in which Christian and his bodyguard save the day.

Bella Heathcotes Leila, scorned and forgotten, is stalking Anastasia out of jealousy.

Think Bryce Dallas HowardsTwilightcharacter here.

But this aint it.

This is not a movie.

Running at 118 minutes,Fifty Shades Darkeris a nearly interminable viewing experience.

It has nothing to say and its not nearly as scandalous as it thinks it is.

Christian, sex isnt going to solve this right now.

And the worst part is that there is going to be a third one.

Whats left to say?!

Anastasia and Christian buy a puppy, and then get ideas while shopping for collars?

At least then, wed know thered be some bite.
