THE NEW TEASER IN THE FIFTY SHADES FRANCHISE IS OUT AND IT'S MAKING US CRINGE, AGAIN!

Seems like Universal Studios has decided to ruin Valentine's Day for us yet again. The teaser of the much-hyped franchise's third and final film is out and to my utter non-surprise, it continues to disappoint (love the consistency, eh?)

If you've seen the previous films (you deserve a medal), you already know what to expect in the teaser—soulless dialogues, expressionless acting and a lot of ummm naked body shots. I didn't say sex on purpose here because there wasn't any in the earlier films.

So, long story short, the teaser is just as you expect it to be—flat and lifeless. And even though James Foley directed “Fifty Shades Freed” from a script by Niall Leonard (author E.L. James’ husband), it is hardly any different from what we've seen earlier, except that now the lead couple seems to be exchanging wedding vows so the romance (lack thereof) is set to get a bit more boring. They may have started out hoping for a little bit of improvement, but old habits die hard.

The teaser of the latest film in the BDSM-themed erotic *forced romance* series shows the lead couple exchanging wedding vows, which, to be honest, seem more like a bedroom conversation. And there's shot after shot of supposedly naked bodies and then suddenly a glimpse of action, i.e. the kidnapping drama. If you don't know what that is, meaning you haven't read the books (you intelligent people), then wait for the film unless you're already bored like I was. Then don't.

Yes, of course there is some good stuff to look out for, for eg, Anastasia 'Anna' Steele's wedding gown and Christian Grey's chiseled body and you might also want to rejoice because this is the last film of the franchise and you won't be dreading Valentine's Day as much from 2019 onwards!

If you still have the courage to watch the teaser after reading all of that, here it is:
