‘Fifty Shades Darker’ Spoilers, News & Update: Why Was It Given An ‘R’ Rating Only?

The young fans of "Fifty Shades of Gray" can now be allowed to watch the upcoming sequel "Fifty Shades Darker," as long as they tug along their parents, as the new movie has been given an "R" rating by the MPAA. Contrary to much expectations, critics are now asking why "Fifty Shades Darker" has earned just an "R" rating?

According to the MPAA official review, the upcoming "Fifty Shades Darker" gained an "R" rating for "strong erotic sexual content, some graphic nudity and language," E! News reported. This means that the young fans of Christian Grey (played by Jamie Dornan) and Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) will be allowed to watch "Fifty Shades Darker" as long as they will come with their guardians or parents.

The movie rating for "Fifty Shades Darker" seems to kill the extreme expectations on the said sequel, where the lead stars were speculated to do bolder and more erotic sexual scenes, compared with the past "Fifty Shades of Grey." Contrary to what critics have been expecting, the "Fifty Shades Darker" has avoided the NC-17 rating (formerly rated "X"). Reports claim that it seems unfortunate for the upcoming "Fifty Shades Darker" as the NC-17 rating could have been a major box office booster.

As previously reported by Parent Herald, Dornan has been speculated to go full frontal in the upcoming sequel. Fans are highly anticipating that the actor will now agree to go bolder in the upcoming "Fifty Shades Darker." When the actor did not directly shut the rumor by teasing the fans to just "wait and see," the theory has been greatly fueled, making fans to continue to believe that the actor will show more skin in the upcoming "Fifty Shades Darker."

Now that "Fifty Shades Darker" was given an "R" rating, does it seem to dismiss the rumored full frontal scene of Christian Grey?
