Fifty Shades of Grey may have been a hit with the fans and achieved huge box office records, but critics didn’t take well to the trilogy. Rotten Tomatoes scores gave the first movie a Rotten 25%, with Darker and Freed both getting 11%. Jamie Dornan, who signed on as Christian Grey for the three films, recalled going into hiding once negative reviews for the first movie came out.
It mustn’t have been easy for Jamie Dornan’s cinematic breakthrough to have been in the E.L. James-adapted film. He got real with BBC Sounds about receiving rave reviews for his work in the Northern Irish drama series The Fall to getting mediocre ones in Fifty Shades of Grey.
