Part 4/9:
As the poor reception became apparent, clips and behind-the-scenes footage emerged that painted a picture of a production rife with issues. Dakota Johnson, star of the film, appeared disinterested during her press tour, a sentiment echoed by fans and reporters alike. Some clips showed confusing editing choices, awkward camera work, and dialogue that critics have described as "atrocious." The final battle scene, in particular, was cited as a shining example of everything wrong with the film—poorly shot, poorly edited, and lacking any sense of coherence or excitement.
