10 Thoughts Every Guy Had While Watching Fifty Shades Freed

IT'S FINALLY OVER!

Who doesn't enjoy watching a great movie couple?

From Jack and Rose to Allie and Noah, Sandy and Danny to Bucky and Steve, a strong onscreen romance has the ability to make us laugh, cry, shake our fists in anger and cry some more, and there's nothing quite like an uplifting romantic drama to send your spirits soaring.

But while there was a sliver of potential here, Fifty Shades' Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey do not fall into this esteemed camp of lovers, and their movies are about as far away from inspiring and engaging as it's possible to get.

Fifty Shades Freed - the latest instalment in the sexually-charged trilogy - is just as sloppy and lifeless as the two flicks that came before it, and if you were hoping for the series to end on a high (or even a non-committal "it was alright") please don't.

Instead, what you should do is marvel at all the bad dialogue and laugh at the stupid plot, and while it's mostly bad, Fifty Shades Freed does throw up several points of interest to keep you thinking during its runtime - just usually not in a good way.

10. "Jamie Dornan Looks Absolutely Fed Up. Poor Guy"

From the movie's opening few shots, you can't help but feel sorry for poor Jamie Dornan.

He clearly has no interest in this franchise or this material, and though he's not even trying at this point, even the most charismatic actor in the world couldn't make his bad lines sound good.

His constantly bored-looking face will draw your attention every time it pops up onscreen (which is a lot), and though you yourself are suffering by having to sit through the movie in the first place, there's nobody suffering more than Dornan, a genuinely great actor stuck in a below-average production.

On the plus side, he can move on to bigger and better things now that the series is over.

Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
