Director James Foley, brings “Fifty Shades Freed”, the third and final installment of the franchise and I can finally say: Thank God It´s Over!
Based on the trilogy written by E.L. James, this third part again centers in Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson), who is now married with millionaire Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan). Both of them are happy until Anastasia´s former Boss Jack Hyde (Eric Johnson) begins to stalk her.
Now Christian most protect his beloved wife at all costs and preserve their relationship before Jack does more harm to the Grey`s.
One of the things that this trilogy did was the all three films were consistently bad, but this one for sure was the worst.
The screenplay again written by Niall Leonard, who wrote “Fifty Shades Darker” had the most over the top and stupid dialogue that I have heard in a while.
James Foley´s direction failed and badly. I was surprised of this since he is a director who has done very good films like "At Close Range" and "Glengarry Glen Ross", which to this day I consider it the best film of his career. Here it´s clear he did whatever he could but it wasn´t enough. The way how he directed his actors and visually the movie is not compelling at all.
When I was watching “Fifty Shades Freed” I felt that I was watching a Mexican soap opera with laughable scenes.
In the first act of the film when they have an argument there is no meaning to the scene and I saw only two people talking about stupid conventional shit.
I know the movie is a drama but honestly I considered it more a comedy since it made me laugh the entire film.
Both Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan gave the worst performances of their careers. It´s a shame since I can see potential in this two young actors and I hope they are more wise in choosing their roles in the future and also I wish they are not labeled for portraying ridiculous characters like the ones they both played in the whole series.
The most incredible thing is that the trilogy still made a lot of money and “Fifty Shades Freed” was not the exception.
I honestly do not consider it a drama and I felt that it was more a pornographic film with a lot of comedy in it.
I am happy that this franchise is over and I do not have to watch it again. My wish is that I hope we see good franchise movies and not pieces of garbage like this one.
That being said “Fifty Shades Freed” is one of the year`s worst films, I cannot recommend it and please do not waste your money in this fiasco.
