The second instalment of the 50 Shades franchise is a slight improvement on the first, however the inclusion of a tiny amount of storyline does not do much to move the film away from purely female fantasy flick.
Another showing from the seemily currently trendy Matthias Schoenaerts. While the film wasn’t bad both myself and Monica felt that the pace was at times too slow, and that there were a number scenes which could have easily been lost to the editing room floor without taking anything away from the film as a whole. I also came away with Alan Rickman saying in my head “I have written and will direct a film with a king in it. Who shall I cast as king? I know. Me.”
