This is the final chapter in the story of ridiculously rich, impossibly hot Mr. Grey (Jamie Dornan) and his sweet submissive (Dakota Johnson). It starts with their marriage and honeymoon, but soon turns dark when a character from their past returns. Although there’s plenty of nudity, the sex scenes lacked much eroticism and the S&M component was strictly PG-rated. The plot is predictable and uninteresting. It doesn’t help that the soundtrack pounds home the character’s every emotional state with often ridiculously literal lyrics. Still, the performances by the duo are sufficiently compelling to make it a passable finish to the saga.
