Having recently listened to the audio book of Fifty Shades Freed, I was curious to see what scenes they would cut. Some story lines removed were pretty predictable, but unfortunately the resultant film was a mere shadow of the book. The book was a thriller (with a bit too much sex.) The film was mundane and failed to capture any of the excitement that the book conveyed. And whilst I'm at it, how much extra effort would have it taken to include a tiny bit of the book's joyous epilogue with Christian, Anna and the toddler Blip as per the ending of the book? Very little. It felt like a complete anticlimax (not pun intended). Completely spoiilt an otherwise okay flimsy film.

There's nothing more that I can really say about the plot and characters that hasn't already been said. If you're going to like it, you're going to like it and if it's not your cup of tea, this won't change your mind. However, I felt that as a film it was a poor ending to the trilogy. To call this film incompetent is a bit overkill but there were several scenes that were pretty poor compared to the other 2 movies. The soundtrack was especially annoying. While I like all of the songs individually, the tone was often jarring with the scene. Since I think the soundtrack was the best part of the previous films, I was quite disappointed. There's definitely a sense the creative team which at least tried with the first 2 films were just showing up for the paycheques at this point which makes the whole thing feel lazy.
