10 Thoughts Every Guy Had While Watching Fifty Shades Darker

5. "Man, Kim Basinger Really Went Crazy On The Botox."

Since the film's main story isn't all that compelling, you find yourself getting sidetracked by a series of much more interesting minor details.

Chief among these is Kim Basinger - or more specifically, Kim Basinger's look. It's sad that such a talented actress should find herself in such a weak production, but that's not the only thing amiss with her presence.

You remember her as a completely natural stunner from her Bond and Batman days, but now, she looks a little bit like a shiny Barbie doll. She's still looking good, but has sacrificed a lot of that raw beauty in favour of an artificial, youthful sheen.

Although, if Kim Basinger was the one who got Christian Grey hooked on BDSM and seduced him into that lifestyle, we can't say we blame the man for falling under her spell.
