3. Fifty Shades Freed

What were you expecting, honestly? At least the third and apparently final Fifty Shades movie is shorter and funnier than its predecessors - and occasionally on purpose! - even if it's still fundamentally garbage.

The sex scenes are boring Lifetime movie fodder, Jamie Dornan's wooden performance as Christian Grey makes it tough to keep your eyes open, and the third-act transformation into erotic thriller territory, complete with a kidnapping, is both absurd and dull.

It didn't seem fair to give Fifty Shades Freed the #1 spot as it at least signalled the end of the wretched franchise and was mildly less awful than its predecessors. It's basically still cinematic excrement, though.

Worst Moment: The hilariously cheesy closing montage, set to Ellie Goulding's "Love Me Like You Do", showcasing Ana (Dakota Johnson) and Christian's "greatest" moments together throughout the trilogy. It's an almost unbearable level of cringe.
