Fifty Shades Freed Review: 3 Ups & 7 Downs

1. It's The Shortest Film In The Trilogy

This might sound like a back-handed compliment, but there's a lot to be said for a bad movie that at least keeps itself tight and snappy.

At a fairly reasonable 105 minutes in length, compared to the excessive 125 minute and 118 minute run-times of its predecessors, Fifty Shades Freed doesn't feel nearly as torturous.

From the number of scenes missing from the film's trailers - Kim Basinger's entire role and a bar fight involving Christian - it's clear that some harsh editorial choices were made in post-production, but they make the end result feel a good deal lighter and less of a slog.

Basically, if you're going to get drunk and rewatch any of these movies in the future, it should probably be this one, because it's the goofiest, weirdest and shortest. Take your victories where you can find them.
