The real question is: Why wouldn't you?
"Fifty Shades Darker" is basically a guy movie. It runs about 2 hours and an hour and fifteen of that is sex. The rest of the plot is the back and forth that leads up to each erotic scene.

I could be wrong, and I don’t want to lump all guys into one boat, but I have never had a guy tell me, “Yeah, I didn’t like that movie. It was too sexy." Yet, I got a lot of flak from the guys when I said I was going to see "Fifty Shades Darker." They said stuff like, "Are you a 30-year-old woman?”
I just don’t get the hate.
Let me give you some relationship advice: If your wife made it through all three books and wants you to go see "Fifty Shades Darker" with her, you should.
Now, let's be clear: the movie has received plenty of poor reviews. However, I am not sure what those people were expecting going in. "Fifty Shades Darker" isn’t going to win a bunch of awards. I don’t think that’s the intention. If you want to see an Oscar winner, pick another movie. The plot of the series is a dark, different, erotica relationship. You didn’t have to read the books to know this going in.
Like most books, though, the movie doesn’t live up to the storyline. This series is complex -- you can’t fit all of the back story and relationship, or character-building, needed into a 2-hour movie. If you want the complexity of the relationship, read the books.
If you want to see a hot movie with your significant other, see "Fifty Shades Darker."
