CHICAGO – Only masochists and other gluttons for punishment will be heading to the theaters for “Fifty Shades Freed.” But be sure to grab a blindfold, because you can at least get 40 winks while the incompetent and unintentionally hilarious Fifty Shades Trilogy reaches its deadly dull climax.

HollywoodChicago.com Oscarman rating: 1.5/5.0
Rating: 1.5/5.0

In this final chapter audiences are finally “freed” from this franchise, which comes as a relief not just to me, but also (none too soon) for the actors involved. Over three films of S&M softcore sex, Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson have all the chemistry of two people on a first date that won’t get to first base. They’re now Mr. & Mrs. Grey, and Johnson’s Anastasia has developed a spine to occasionally stand up to her bad boy billionaire husband, Dornan’s Christian.

”Fifty Shades Freed” opens everywhere on February 9th. Featuring Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, Eric Johnson, Marcia Gay Harden and Kim Basinger. Screenplay adapted by Niall Leonard. Directed by James Foley. Rated “R”
