Sadly none of these additions, nor a final reel helicopter crash, do anything to raise the dramatic stakes above the level you'd expect from a daytime soap opera. These include a new boss for Ana with his own designs on her body, a gun-toting stalker and the jealous older woman (Kim Basinger) who first brought out Christian's kinky side. Presumably aware that watching Ana and Christian go through the S&M motions yet again can only carry a film so far, Fifty Shades Darker introduces a series of external threats to their relationship. As it happens, Fifty Shades Darker wastes little time reuniting the couple, setting the scene for yet another romantic melodrama punctuated by a series of rose-tinted romps. Given that Fifty Shades of Grey ended with Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) dumping billionaire playboy Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) due to his fondness for inflicting pain in the bedroom, you might expect this sequel to be all about getting the pair back together.
