Lisa Wilkinson blasts new major movie and its stars

Today show host Lisa Wilkinson made headlines when she attacked one of the biggest movies made last year and now she’s back at it.

As the trailer for the new ‘Fifty Shades Darker’ movie was released, Lisa couldn’t hold back her disgust as entertainment reporter Richard ‘Dickie’ Wilkins delivered his story on camera.

The trailer to the follow up of the worldwide hit ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ was released yesterday and fans around the world jumped on it with excitement.

Not Lisa though! When the camera panned to her after Dickie’s report, Lisa sat there with pursed lips before declaring it “disgusting” and “pathetic”.

Last year she found lots of support and a fair bit of criticism too for her review of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ branding it “more appalling than appealing”.

“It’s domestic violence dressed up as erotica and if there’s one thing this movie is not, it’s erotic,” she said.

“Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey is the thirty-something jerk of a billionaire who never seems to work,” she said, adding he is “an emotionally crippled narcissist no one could love”.

“Meanwhile Dakota Johnson is the one dimensional lip-biting (could someone get that girl a chapstick) pathetic Anastasia Steele who for no discernible reason falls in love with the aforementioned jerk and single handedly sells women across the world short,” she continued.

She gave the movie one star out of five and said that was only because of the choc top she enjoyed while watching it, adding her husband did not “get lucky” when she got home.

“No he didn’t get lucky last night because after two hours of complete drivel, I need more than a choc top to pop my corn,” she candidly admitted.
