Review of Fifty Shades Freed

Fifty Shades is a highly entertaining and obviously extremely erotic trilogy, to a point. In the final chapter, Fifty Shades Freed, Anastasia marries Christian, a notoriously commitment-phobic billionaire bachelor, after just a few months of dating... lol, ok, I'll play along. The plot continues to build, with sinister forces threatening their relationship, everything from jealous catty women, to Anastasia's former boss who goes off the deep end and seeks revenge after Christian has him fired after he attempts to sexually assault Anastasia. Engrossing plot, and of course the erotic element is incredibly intense, as in the previous chapters... all until Anastasia ends up preggers - despite all prior agreements with Christian to the contrary, and a birth control regiment (by injection) that you could only screw up by trying. The rest of the movie descends into Anastasia coercing Christian into having a child he did not want (while surviving a life-threatening hostage situation with the former boss, but that's kind of irrelevant). A disappointing narrative to feed to women - that any man can be trapped into fatherhood, and he'll just come around eventually, learn to be a daddy, and the woman will get everything she wants. And that marriage automatically equates with parenthood. Yuck, and even worse that the author of the novels, and the producers of the films believe that women will go goo-goo ga-ga over this. Ugh! As a woman I can say I thoroughly enjoyed all three chapters up until this silly and disappointing development. It was like pouring a bucket of water on a fire.
