how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 64 comments (50 from Metacritic, 10 from Reddit, 4 from TMDB reviews) — 12 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 12 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“the beginning was just awful and full of cringe-inducing dialog and logic on the part of the main protagonist”

“once the movie got into its full-swing I thought it did some things much better than the original, such as showing actual chemistry between the two leads”

“Yeah, that takes all of about 5 minutes of time in the film. It's the plot of the movie...and it takes about 5 minutes total. The problem is solved really quickly, in the middle of the film, and never comes up again.”

“As the movie ended, I didn't feel any kind of intensity or anything. Nothing to tempt me to watch the next one.”

“It was dull and so rushed! Everything was rushed.”

“With the small-small developments the film goes all the way to the ending. That means, those who are watching it for the selected scenes, will surely would have a nice time.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“For all its structural and psychological deficiencies, it’s hard not to enjoy Fifty Shades Darker on its own lusciously limited terms.”
Guy Lodge, Variety · 70
“The movies aren't so bad they're good. They're so brilliantly bad they're genius, with Foley dutifully presenting every inane plot point while gifting us excuses to laugh.”
Amy Nicholson, MTV News · 67
“Whipping up a proper tone for the big screen versions of E.L. James’ wildly popular novels was always going to be the films’ biggest problem, and while director James Foley might not quite nail it, wily injections of humor prove to be an unexpectedly helpful addition to the kinky franchise.”
Kate Erbland, IndieWire · 58
“Even with an improved Dornan, the movie still belongs to Johnson, a character actress capable of making light of a movie pretending to be darker.”
Meredith Goldstein, Boston Globe · 50
“The last third of the film descends straight into a combination of "Dynasty" with shades of cult classic "The Room." It's fantastic because it's complete and utter silly madness. Helicopter crashes! Slaps! Drinks thrown in faces! Fully clothed shower sex! A framed "Chronicles of Riddick" poster! All the makings of an instant cult classic.”
Katie Walsh, Chicago Tribune · 50

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“It was definitely better than the first movie but it not as good as the book. Casting is still funky and I can't understand why Mia is blonde.”

“Thank you for taking the time to write this and not just saying "it's crap." It's definitely interesting how some movies can exist in this space where they're objectively bad and universally panned yet still find an enthusiastic audience (which isn't me btw). The biggest difference for me between these two movies was that we finally saw some snippets of Ana being able to contribute more to a relationship than just being a blank object of unlimited affection for absolutely no reason. She leap”

“**The next fifty shades between an ordinary woman and a billionaire.** The film was not received well as the book was. Just like the first film, it has been another below average. Might be because of its theme. Usually this kind of films do great business, but ratings and reviews does not praise or encourage the film. So I doubt anybody will be bored of it, which means watchable film and instead it won't be their favourite. The story continued and this time it was not based on experiment o”

“<em>'Fifty Shades Darker'</em> is a surprise small improvement on its predecessor, though admittedly not anything worthy of describing as good. It felt like this one had a touch more meat on the bones, it's slightly more digestible anyway; if ignoring events last time out. The film does take the cheap way out mind you, focusing on two 'worse' characters which allows you to look past the iffy questions regarding the leading pair's relationship. I didn't cringe as much for this 2017 flick, whic”

“Poor old “Christian” (Jamie Dornan) is pining for “Ana” (Dakota Johnson) and so manages to wheedle his way back into her life - by buying her publisher employers, and by promising to change from his more sadistic self into something altogether more agreeable to her. Snag? Well she isn’t really interested in a newly reformed boyfriend, but instead craves the leather trappings of their sexual adventures. What she isn’t so keen on, either, is her introduction to some of his previous playmates - som”
