Absolutely hilarious to watch if you're anything like me and enjoy some cringe from time to time. It's rigid performances and sobering book accuracy make for one of the most unnatural romance films in recent history. There is no chemistryAbsolutely hilarious to watch if you're anything like me and enjoy some cringe from time to time. It's rigid performances and sobering book accuracy make for one of the most unnatural romance films in recent history. There is no chemistry here,no drama,no concerning conflict. Just a billionaire with unresolved ptsd and a God complex. It's unfortunate how seeing the supposedly sexy words that captured many on pages be said by real life people without discernable irony such as the repulsive flirting post contract negotiation or the now infamous don't make love I **** To be honest I can't really admonish the film as it didn't have a lot to go on but with that said the actors didn't help. Jamie Dornan is unwatchable as the presumably (I presume because it's never expressed) sexy bachelor, he feels wooden and not in the intended way Christian was written (albeit terribly) to be. Dakota Johnson at least attempts and is unsuprisingly the only one willing to go bare for the sake of her charater. Another thing I found frustrating was how no arcs were explored satisfyingly such as José attempted assault, the family dinner,his intimacy issues,Anna's fears etc. They just use every scene as interludes b4 they f ,nit as opportunities to develop characters. Overall this is a sprawling yet bare 2hr disappointment that I can't stop chastising.… Expand

Hopefully, as a heterosexual female student in her twenties with a love of film that spreads across all genres and decades, this will come over as a fair assessment of a film that genuinely did nothing for me.

Have not read the books, thoughHopefully, as a heterosexual female student in her twenties with a love of film that spreads across all genres and decades, this will come over as a fair assessment of a film that genuinely did nothing for me.

Have not read the books, though have heard conflicting opinions that has mostly been intense dislike. The reason for watching 'Fifty Shades of Grey' was not due to wanting to hate on it, being a negative person, curiosity but for the reason of being at a film night with friends recently and 'Fifty Shades of Grey' happened to be the film choice. Just for the record, the general consensus ranged from indifference to hating it with a passion.

There are two minor pros. The best thing about 'Fifty Shades of Grey' is most of the beguiling soundtrack, that has a soothing nostalgia and appropriately amorous quality, this is all for the song choices though. 'Fifty Shades of Grey' also looks good, nice use of scenery and very nicely shot.

On the other hand, Danny Elfman's score is one-note and repetitive, as well as too derivative of his recent work. He has composed some wonderful stuff ('Edward Scissorhands' is magical) but this is really not his best work. The direction has slickness but overall is too mannered which really affects the film's tone and pacing.

Regarding the acting, none of the supporting cast are of note, including Marcia Gay Harden, but a larger issue is the two leads and their complete lack of chemistry. Understated can be a lovely quality to acting, as long as it also becomes nuanced and with believability given to the dialogue. Dakota Johnson, especially in the first third, is too understated that it feels more like there is a lack of personality or emotion. Jamie Dornan looks uncomfortable throughout, delivers his cringe-worthy lines awkwardly and is just bland as dishwater with no charisma whatsoever. Chemistry is non-existent.

'Fifty Shades of Grey's' dialogue does them absolutely no favours, dialogue so bad that absolutely nobody (even the best actors and actresses) can do anything with it. It causes unintentional laughter throughout, is embarrassingly clunky and is pure smut. Then there is the story that is so thin structurally, heavy in repetition, so badly plodding and without style or atmosphere that the film feels twice as long, with the sexual elements done far too tamely and the BDSM portrayal deceitful. None of the characters are engaging or interesting, practically ciphers.

All in all, a very poor film with two minor pros and the rest of the film massively flawed. 2/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

This movie basically tries to make abuse look sexy! The characters have the emotional IQ of a three year old, especially the lead female role.

I read two of the three books out of pure curiosity, but started skipping entire pages and later chapters just to get through the book. Who has sex three or four times a day!? The books are childlike and absolutely boring. Also, they have no storyline other than two people permanently having sex, a woman with no backbone and an absolutely narcissistic controlling man!

Also, if you tell a guy that you are still a virgin, his response should NOT BE let me help you with that problem!!!

The movie and the books are creepy. Since when has it become sexy for a woman not to be able to choose how she wants to dress, what she wants to eat, where she wants to go....even her cellphone, exercise and waxing habits are under his control. She is basically just a possession.

The movie is rated 16 only! Not nearly enough. I sat in the movies with giggling 16-18 year olds and thought to myself this movie should not be seen by anyone younger than 25 and in a healthy relationship with common sense to realize that this is not healthy or normal. I would feel ashamed if I was the parent who allowed my 16 year old to watch this movie! This is the basis that these emotionally fragile children will build their relationships on one day! This movie opened a lot of doors that needed to stay shut!

DISGUSTING!… Expand

This film was undoubtedly one of the biggest box office hits of the decade, but it was largely due to the already dizzying success of the original material, the erotic novels by E. L. James. I have no doubt that the audience that went to see this film did it out of curiosity or because they had previously read the books and liked it. So, the film already had a well defined target audience. But as I have not read the books (nor do I intend to) I will speak only of the film.

Overall, I found the plot very weak. Anastasia Steele is a shy, sexually inexperienced young woman who immediately feels a strong attraction to Christian Gray, a young millionaire with an almost latent aggressiveness. From there, the two have a relationship full of fetishes of authority and pain, where the romance insists on arising and leaving both confused and bewildered, especially Gray, who seems to carry a lot of childhood traumas and like to discount all that on the body. of their young sex slaves. This is the plot of the film, and I am aware that the book is the same, but the truth is that it makes no sense, if we take into account the normal and expected reactions between a man and a woman ...

Observe carefully: first, it is almost impossible to find, today, a young adult totally inexperienced in bed and in sex. It can happen, of course, but it is rare. The first meeting between them is also something that could only happen in a book: Anastásia, who should interview Gray, is so tense and shy that she doesn't even know what she is doing! And he, a very busy man, gives ten minutes to a young woman who has not rigorously prepared herself for the interview she wanted to do! He is an intense, even brutal man, who could have any woman, but he is enchanted by the tastiest girl on the planet. Even so, he does not intend a normal courtship, but a sexual and possession relationship, bureaucratic, well defined on paper, forgetting that quickly when the desire and passion became uncontrollable. And everything happens in a fraction of ... days? One day she is in his office, not knowing what to ask him and, a short time later, she is relaxed talking to his mother as if she were already part of the family. None of this makes sense, but this is just a bit of the absurdities of the whole story, common to the film and books.

Dakota Johnson is perfect for her character, as she is a totally uninteresting woman, who could go unnoticed by the eyes of the most ardent of males. For his part, Jamie Dornan is too kind and friendly to be Christian Gray. His character should harmoniously combine the beauty and virility of a young adult with a more mature and somber personality than normal at his age and some brutality and strength of character. I even dare to think that the ideal actor for Gray should be (or appear to be) slightly older than Dornan. The rest of the cast is OK but has no room to do anything really good. The dialogues are hideous, and if they originated from the book then I did well not to read it.

It goes without saying, I believe, that this film is totally inappropriate for children and teenagers, given the heavy erotic material and the language used. The film's nudity is something that the fans considered residual, but I would consider it too much if it did not take into account the original material in which the film. The film has good production values, starting with good photography, good scene props (it would highlight the famous red room and all its paraphernalia), satisfactory editing work and, above all, a good soundtrack, which is in the heard and has good songs (I would highlight "Earned it" and "Love me Like You Do").

In short: when starting with bad source material, the film was doomed from the start. The only thing that made E. L. James's book good for the cinema was the number of copies sold and the absolute guarantee that the film would sell equally.… Expand

The reason I say "movie" like that is because this is not a movie. It just isn't. Fifty Shades Of Grey is two hours of endless awkward BDSM that lacks chemistry or any kind of passion. I thought it would never end.

Anastasia Steele has to interview Christian Grey because Anastasia's roommate has a cold for five minutes. The first 15-20 minutes are basically just this generic character meets character stuff and when I was supposed to feel some sexual tension between Steele and Grey, I was actually just waiting for the scene to end lol. The rest of this "movie" is either that awful awkward BDSM stuff or some even more awful melodrama between Grey, Steele and sometimes Steele's friends and family because every now and then some other characters need to appear on scene to tell something that doesn't even matter in the end. It's honestly just absolute tosh. At one point Grey literally says "I'd be pleased to discover that you're naked underneath" when he's talking about taking Steele's dress off. The dialogue is absolutely terrible, the directing is bland, the acting and casting is just absolute red anus. Am I seriously supposed to believe that a character portrayed by Dakota Johnson is this awkward, quiet and low confident woman who desperately needs a man to be able to live? Or at least that's her character for the first 30 minutes. After that she just randomly starts talking a lot more and eventually does all this BDSM stuff with Grey. Steele is not the only character in the movie though to just randomly change. Early in the movie Grey takes Steele to a hotel and tells her that he slept next to her, and then later refuses to sleep in the same bed with her because he apparently doesn't do stuff like that.

Later in the movie we get two almost identical scenes of Steele and Grey flying while some popular song is playing in the background. These scenes have almost no meaning to anything, other than appealing to fans of that music genre I guess. Overall there's pretty much nothing for anyone here. I'm sure people can find a lot of BDSM elsewhere that isn't scattered throughout a two hour movie if they want to see it so bad.

I guess there was a nice slow remake of a Beyonce song, and the colors in the movie looked alright. That is all!… Expand

Beautiful actors and lavish decors but other than that it's actually prety boring. The story is flimsy, the ending blattant screams "come and see the next installment" and leaves you wondering if they're kidding or not. Some S/M scenes are pleasant to watch even if I'll never understand the joy of inflicting pain on someone you supposedly love. For the nicer sex scenes I'll leave it in the yellow, it's not an entirely horrible waste of time, but how some people can claim this is their favorite movie is beyond me. They must either crave S/M-sex or be willing to totally degrade themselves for a lifestyle with a sick amount of wealth in it. But to each their own of course. At least now I know what those women are so fond of.… Expand

I'm a guy so I do believe that it is more difficult for myself to get wrapped up into Mr. Grey's appeal in the movie, however, to me he was just boring, and too out of reach and unrealistic. In my opinion, Mr. Grey would have been better suited had he been more down to earth and realistic. I believe that most of the female's attraction for him was wrapped up in wealth and materialistic things rather than sexual pleasure. All in all, I was very disappointed in the film, so much that my girlfriend and I attempted watching this film together and she turned it off before I could.… Expand

Quiero decir que no leí el libro (ni lo leeré) pero en cuestión de adaptación y censura, supongo que tuvieron que cortar demasiadas escenas de sexo (algunas sumamente estúpidas) para que esta pelicula lograra por lo menos una clasificación "R" (o C en México) pero en fin, recuerdo que me senté frente a la computadora y me dije: "veré esta pelicula sin la necesidad de buscarle contras o con la intención de criticarla" pero esto no duro ni 10 minutos, la pelicula es un error total, en primer lugar, no me cabe en la cabeza la idea de que esta pelicula es romance y amor (el cual no lo es) pues yo solo veo una atmósfera tétrica, oscura, estúpida, repleta de Sadomasoquismo o masoquismo. ¿Desde cuando las mujeres ven a un hombre enfermo mental atractivo? no lo entiendo, ¿sera porque es millonario? ¿tiene autos de lujo? no tengo idea. Fifty Shades of Grey cuenta la historia de Anastasia, una estudiante virgen tímida que va a entrevistar a Christian Grey para un trabajo de su compañera de cuarto, la interacción de Jamie Dornan con Dakota Johnson es plana, no se sienten reales, Anastasia siempre tiene la misma cara: "orgasmo" "tristeza" "orgasmo" "enojo" "orgasmo".
La relación de estos dos es tonta, aburrida y poco interesante, ambos personajes no aportan nada de carisma, se vuelven tediosos y odiosos, por poner un ejemplo:
Christian Grey: "te regale un auto, una computadora, libros y todo lo que tu desees ¿seras mi sumisa?
Anastasia: No, no quiero volver a verte (pasan 2 minutos) Te amo.
Por el amor de Dios, esta pelicula es basura! Con lo que respecta a las escenas de sexo, prometen mas de lo que son, así que no vayas con la idea de que veras escenas sexuales sumamente explicitas y polémicas.
Sam Taylor-Johnson hace lo que puede en esta pelicula, no es culpa de ella que la pelicula no funcionara, de hecho se ve que puso todo su esfuerzo para que al menos fuera pasable, la culpa la tiene la historia (y por supuesto la escritora E.L James) una historia aburrida, nada interesante, mediocre y con poca originalidad (¿olvide mencionar que esto es "Crepúsculo" con sexo?) Lo unico perdonable de aquí es el Soundtrack (por parte de Danny Elfman) no es que sea una obra maestra, pero es lo unico decente que tiene esta pelicula (¿esto se le puede llamar pelicula? este termino no entra aquí...)… Expand

As much as I hate Twilight well this was worse than Twilight

"Fifty Shades of Grey" is and feels like the byproduct of a corporative contract. If the book it's based on is just laughably pedestrian and dull, the film equivalent nearly rivals it in monotony. There's no emotion, no passion, no life; like Christian Grey, it's all cold, calculated and mechanic. Want to watch a real steamy film about sex for grown-ups? Please go and watch Stanley Kubrick's 'Eyes Wide Shut' and avoid this infantile, seems-to-be-made-for-promiscuous-teenage-girls drivel at all costs. And, the 'strong sexual content' that the MPAA rating suggests is a joke.… Expand

“Fifty Shades of Grey Review”

So for the second time, I just finished watching this movie and...wow, just wow. When it comes to a film like this, the question and really the only relevant question that I have is “what the fecal matter is“Fifty Shades of Grey Review”

So for the second time, I just finished watching this movie and...wow, just wow. When it comes to a film like this, the question and really the only relevant question that I have is “what the fecal matter is this?” This movie is horrible and I'll cast some light as to the reasons why it's horrible but first let me note a few things. I'm not going to even bother structuring this review. This means making separate sections for “Presentation”, “Characters”, “Music”, etc. This movie doesn't deserve that level of time or effort.

I'm not going to insult the word “spoiler” because this movie doesn't have a plot. I'm not going sit here and write paragraph after paragraph after paragraph explaining in every little small exquisite detail why this movie is bad which I could very well do but considering two hours of my time has already been wasted, I'm not going to stress out my level of patience further. Now onto my tailored and straightforward to the point review of this crap known as Fifty Shades of Grey.

First of all, I'm going to be blunt, this movie does not have a plot. I repeat, there is no story in this movie which is understandable because this bull**** is based off a trilogy of books inspired by ******* Twilight. That within of itself says enough and it says enough in spades. The premise for this garbage, and I can't believe I just insulted the word “garbage” is about a young college grad named Anastasia Steele or Anna. Anna goes to interview this young billionaire, that's right “Billionaire”, pretty boy, named Christian Grey. Christian just after one interview almost immediately becomes a stalker and with enough persistence, he and Anna elope in this one sided relationship which involves her becoming his sex slave. After about an hour and fifty minutes of nothing, Anna finally decides to grow a brain and she considers the relationship to be abusive despite the fact that it was an abusive relationship from the start and this was explained to her by Christian himself exactly what this was going to be early on in the movie. So, Anna decides to leave Christian and the movie ends. Cut to black, begin end credits. …Yeah, that's the movie. And as a word of some positivity, Dakota Johnson wasn't too bad in this. She did inject some humor into her lifeless character but she nor anyone else is saving this film right here.

So what's the problem with the movie? Many things, the first being the way this was marketed. Fifty Shades of Grey was marketed to be this soft-core pornographic film being toted as a serious movie. In that regard alone, this is somewhat okay considering other films such as Secretary have done the same and have done this a lot better but that's for another discussion. The problem with Fifty Shades in this regard is the fact that the “porn” in this movie is bare-bones the minimum of what they could have done. Yes there's nudity in the film but aside from a flat chested Dakota Johnson flash every now and then and someone's a** cheeks popping up on screen, this is some of the most boring “porn” that you could watch. The movie tends to cut these scenes long before they have the chance to become interesting and they're not even shot very well. To make matters worse, the pornographic material is the only thing that the movie has going for it.

The characters in this movie, they're all bad, all of them. I don't care if you're talking about the potentially wasted guy friend of Anastasia, her roommate, her father, her mother, Christian's mother, his brother, it doesn't matter. They're all bad. The only two characters given any appropriate screen time are Christian and Anastasia themselves and neither one of them are good characters. In fact, they're both poorly written and very, very rage inductively stupid. Anastasia is one of the worst written female characters that I've seen in a film in quite some time. Women always want to talk about how Hollywood doesn't take women seriously and throws them in cliché roles yet, the majority of you hypocrites want to go out and pay to see a dumb bland character like this as a protagonist. To those women out there who paid for this, you're only insulting yourself at this point. Anastasia is stupid, she's dumb, she's bland, she's hardheaded, she's uninteresting, she's not even all that attractive! Dakota Johnson is pretty but she's not a supermodel looking chick and for a rich character like Christian Grey, you would think he would be acting like a stalker/serial killer for someone whom at least looks like a supermodel but no! He goes for the bare-minimum of what he can supposedly get, despite his high profile status which is overemphasized to the point of illogical irrelevance and sheer utter stupidity in this stupid movie.

Christian himself to say a few words, is literally as I explained. He personifies the traits of a stalker/serial killer and he can get away with it because he's handsome and he's a billionaire which by the way, and I know this question has been asked with this retarded series but, did a sixteen year old girl write this? An example of this behavior by this Christian character would be a scene near the beginning of the movie just after Anna and Christian meets one another. Anna is in the middle of working at her job and from right around the corner isle, this creepy a**hole just pops up out of nowhere like a damn stalker with the first words out of his mouth being “I thought it was you”. Yeah I'm sure you did think it was her. You were probably watching her from the moment she walked out of her home to the moment you decided it was a good idea to wait in a specific isle like the shadow of god damn Michael Myers.

That's just a tip of the iceberg of what's wrong with this character. Another scene, the club scene, which is also near the beginning of the movie, Anna gets drunk and Christian calls her scolding her as if he was her father despite the fact that they literally met barely even ten minutes ago in the film. (Phone Ringing) (Christian Grey Calling) Anastasia: “I'm sorry I didn't mean,” Christian: “Stay where you are I'm coming to get you” Anastasia: “What?” (Click) ME: “The ****??” All this bs and it's not even thirty minutes into the movie! The entire useless two hours of this abysmal calamity has this Anastasia character questioning “well why don't we go on a date?” “why can't I touch you?” “why can't we be like normal people?” He explained to you from the beginning what this relationship was going to be!!!! What the ****?!! It takes this girl two hours to grow a brain and say “I've had enough”. You should've been done with him when he showed you his sex dungeon! Any self respecting woman would've dropped this guy at several scenes in this movie but oh no not Anastasia! Because without bs, these lazy Hollywood executives would have no means of selling tickets because the movie would only last five minutes tops.

Then the movie takes its bs even further with the Christian Grey character. So when Anastasia isn't getting on your nerves, it's this stupid idiot who sprouts some of the worst dialogue that I've heard in a while. The entire movie, this guy is moping, literally moping and he regurgitates the same thing over and over again. “I don't do romance”, “I don't do dating”, “I don't do intimacy” Bull****!! All he ever does is romance!! And this movie further misses an opportunity by trying to give this character a back story. Apparently the whole BDSM nonsense comes from him being a submissive to his mother's friend when he was a teenager. The sad part is that the movie could have been about that! The movie could have set up the plot where it was about this guy who was abusing this woman and all the women before her because he was trying to get back at this crazy woman who abused him the same way. But no! Instead what we get is a two hour live action equivalent of the Looney Tunes show, with unrealistic characters bantering the same nonsense back and forth. “Why can't we be normal?” “I don't do romance” “Why can't we be normal?” “I don't do romance” “Why can't we be normal?” “I don't do romance”. Over and over and over and over again like the movie is trying to bash your skull in with poor writing and even worse developed and uninteresting lead characters.

And before I close out of this review, I want to mention the contract. Yes, these two idiots in this movie made a contract which discloses exactly what Christian is allowed/not allowed to do to Anastasia when they're engaged in sexual activity but this scene is completely pointless as later in the movie, Christian says it himself. “**** the contract”. Those are his exact words. So why did we insert this scene in this movie again? Oh that's right, it's in the movie to cover up the fact that for two hours, nothing of importance happens in this movie.

Fifty Shades of Grey besides Insurgent, another piece of diarrhea vomit that I will also review, is the most recent laziest and cheapest attempt at making money for Hollywood. The movie reeks of tropes that are specifically designed and placed into the film just to attract a dumb audience full of drones that will no doubt buy the Blu-ray on day one which is why this crap is at the number one spot on Amazon.com in the genre of romance which again is funny considering the fact that there is no legit romance in this movie, just BS! Because how can a movie based off a book series that's inspired from something as dull and stupid as the Twilight series possibly be about anything? And that's another thing, even Twilight is better than this! How do you accomplish something like that?!! At least in Twilight you had a decapitation here and there before it returned back to the same some ole repetitive BS. In this nonsense however, there's nothing of interest to look forward to, nothing, not one god damn thing. If this is really what women and I know its not all of you out there but me speaking to the majority. If this is really what women describe as entertainment then it's nothing but dark days ahead for mainstream audiences who like to go to the movies such as myself, even for general audiences.

This is why Indies will always be better than what's mainstream in the film industry. There are too many idiots who don't care about the art form of film or even care about movies in general paying to go to the theater and have a “good time”. These people don't care about pacing or plot or character development. It's the equivalent of everyone who goes to see these fun but regurgitated superhero movies and loud nonsensical IQ insulting CGI fests like the Michael Bay Transformer films. The only difference is that movies like Fifty Shades of Grey, Twilight, and The Host are targeted towards a female audience who think they want to see romance but don't have a clear grasp on what that word actually means. It's a sad day, dark times are ahead for people who actually care about quality entertainment. If anyone has given this more than a one star up on here, you should be ashamed. By the way, can't wait for the even worse sequels to this nonsense, tsk. What's the next one called I wonder. ...Oh Fifty Shades Darker, how original. Yeah if you value common sense and especially if you value decent story telling then do yourself a favor and skip this.… Expand

I've read the books and afterBIG FAMOUS BEST SELLING BOOK... terrible money making movie. This movie was created only to make money since the book became famous because of its erotic clasification and a controversial BDSM related themes. I've read the books and after seen the movie, I was very disapointed, the MOST important thing about this book is every thought Anastasia had about Grey and BDSM, in this movie you cant get to know what is going on in her mind. You can interpret that she doesnt like the way he is or the way he treats her, but she still got into BDSM practices, and the important WHY she did it, its totally missing. To make this movie even worse, one of the things that people critizised about the book, is that BDSM is practiced by people with psychological problems, people that need help, people that are sick... and once again this movie fails into proyecting this same way of seen Grey as a sick person.

Bad sex scenes, failure in thansmiting the main ideas of the bdsm and Anastasias thoughts, and TERRBLE performance of the principal character Christian Grey, in the movie he looks like an idiot, VERY different form the book.

Dont waste your time watching this movie, I know many people dont like to read, but believe me, if you want to know what the fifty shades are all about, you better read the books.… Expand

I couldn't do that at this film since I was on a date, thus compounding my suffering. No story, no character development, no resolution, and grade school dialog make this the loser film of the year. Before I even said a thing after the ending, my date apologized for dragging me out to this atrocity.

This sums it up: Let's write a novel about every girl's fantasy unicorn of a man, include an S&M component to add an aspect of taboo in order to pique more interest, then start a viral marketing campaign to get people to talk about the novel. This'll cause everyone to read it to see what the big deal is. When they find out there's no big deal, they'll be asking everyone else, what the big deal was, spiraling the virality of the novel. And then of course, capitalize on the commercial success of this marketing ploy by making a film on the cheap and let the viral aspect do all the marketing of the film for you.

Final step, use your Benji's from novel/film profits to light up your contraband Cubans whilst bathing in champagne.… Expand

Fifty Shades of Grey more like Fifty Shades of Abuse.

The story is about a literature student, interviews the wealthy, intimidating Christian Grey and instantly develops an attraction to the enigmatic man. Grey is likewise drawn to Ana -Fifty Shades of Grey more like Fifty Shades of Abuse.

The story is about a literature student, interviews the wealthy, intimidating Christian Grey and instantly develops an attraction to the enigmatic man. Grey is likewise drawn to Ana - but will only agree to a relationship on his own terms. Both will discover a place where want and desire intersect.

Fifty Shades of Grey was a movie that I had zone interested in, because I was in that bad mood where if I see a best selling novel being made into a movie which is a cliche now, and now there did it with Fifty Shades of Grey which by the way the book sucked ass, yeah I red the book and I had no idea why it was a best seller it's basically porn on paper. What's more annoying is in the UK there are people on the Radio and everyone I met who was looking forward to this movie and my Question is why. The people on the Radio keep making top stories about it making it the hot headline and I'm here thinking "That's really new worthy. There's loads of usual but amazing things happening around the world and this peace of **** makes the headline. My hope for humility is slowly fading away". And that's not all, I'm not kidding you here but there actually made a headline of it's reviews it's getting and this never happened before when it comes to movies. So after seeing Fifty Shades of Grey I can say it's not as bad as people say, it's actually a lot worse then I thought.

Now let me give you the positive things in this movie: Dakota Johnson was the only good actress in this movie, she did what she can do with a god awful script that she had and shes the only one in this movie that gives it her all. The movie is shot really good as well, it fitted the movie very well, but beside's that all those good things can't hind the fact that this is a abomination against humanity, it brings shame to cinema and it should be burn in hell.

Now let's talk about Mr. Grey The Psychopath, now I got to ask you this what do women see in this guy, I mean his not charming at all, his cold, he's kind of a **** and what he want's to do is hurt you with sex, and the actor himself isn't really that good at all. And she doesn't enjoy it she only does it to make him feel good so in the sex scenes she's not enjoying it, she's getting hurt by this guy and after a while she get's crossed with him and then she runs off then start's to have thoughts about him and how she needs a man in her life so she goes back.

The writing in this movie I don't know if it's for comic relief or to be taken seriously, because the writing in this movie was absolutely atrocious and it's the most cheesiest dialogue ever put to film, it's Twilight dialogue bad.

Now is this worse than Twilight and I can't believe I'm saying this but yes it is. I found a movie that's more awful and more laughable than Twilight. I hated this movie, I hated it, I HATED IT, I HATED IT. This is the worst movie of 2015, I can't wait to forget this film. You better off seeing Kingsman: The Secret Service, I haven't see it myself yet but at least that movie looks well made and effort went into it.… Expand

Casting as well,To little surprise, Fifty Shades managed to better than the book, but that's only a very flimsy consolation, given the extreme poorness of the source material. Everything else is rubbish from the acting to the screenplay. Casting as well, since pretty much nobody (girls included) thought Jamie Dornan to be a good choice. It only sometimes gets saved by some beautiful shots of Seattle, which suit better an ad than a movie.

This film was driven by marketing (as it was bound, to be fair) and I think it was made to appeal to women only. And only to some women, even, specifically girls just old enough to get permission to see this. The R rating is bloated - a couple of swear words and full frontal nudity do not make this movie explicit at all - which was the one thing that one could like about the book. Furthermore, not only it's not explicit, it's also not erotic.

This is what happens when:
1) Producers know that the movie is going to be a financial success before they even start shooting it;
2) Your source material is awful.
3) You change an appallingly written story whose only appeal is the erotica in it, and you make it tame.

To specify: I don't judge the content of this movie or of the book. Erotica is fine and it can be as explicit as you wish. What I'm criticising is the mentality behind the corny dialogues and the number of awful choices that were made , which reflect in the film and make it totally uninteresting.… Expand

I bet that if I were to ask the majority of the main demographic watching Fifty Shades of Grey this weekend what the acronym BDSM stands for, I would get a very unsatisfied and baffled answer. Low and behold, welcome to the world of popularI bet that if I were to ask the majority of the main demographic watching Fifty Shades of Grey this weekend what the acronym BDSM stands for, I would get a very unsatisfied and baffled answer. Low and behold, welcome to the world of popular culture and worldwide phenomenas for no damn good reason.

If someone were to ask me, how and why this particular novel, written atrociously by British author E.L. James became such a huge success, I wouldn’t know where to begin. Upon all the controversy, arguments and opinions about the novel and its depiction of submissive sexual culture, I guess we, as a general population, have to accept the fact that sometimes, people and certain pieces of pop culture, just get lucky for being around at the right place, at the right time.

It’s not like erotic literature or erotic novels didn’t exist before E.L. James’ novel, its that THIS particular novel caught on with readers and has become the worldwide best-seller for the simple fact that, it just did. Upon learning about my advance sneak passes to the film, I went in with the highest level of professionalism and optimism possible, but when a film knows its going to be a hit, regardless of its talent and execution on screen, you pretty well have sealed your fate in the world of film criticism.

I’m not sure if the actors and screenwriter Kelly Marcel intended for the dialogue and execution of the film to be so wooden, laughable and campy, but I guess when you are adapting a film to a novel that has been deemed unworthy of professional publication, regardless of your level of screenwriting and acting skills, you can’t do much. From the moment the screen is filled with the shaded lighting of corporate florescent bulbs in the Grey building, one cannot help but notice how little effort is put into the film’s production.

Set around one of the most conventional narrative foundations ever, Fifty Shades of Grey is your typical Romeo and Juliet love story of forbidden love. Upon learning of her friend Kate’s (Eloise Mumford) illness, Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) is forced by her best friend to cover for school newspaper’s article upcoming interview with the mysterious and intimidating business magnate Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan). Once Ana and Christian meet, the two begin a steamy and sensual relationship filled with singular sexual tastes, obsession, seduction and mental and emotional pain and pleasure. Yup, thats it.

Before the film even started production, the casting process gain high media attention. Having Angelina Jolie reject directing the film, Chritian Cooke, Dominic Cooper and Stephen Amell circling the role of Christian Grey, and talented actresses Felicity Jones, Elizabeth Olsen, Imogen Poots and Shailene Woodley reportedly being considered and auditioning for the role of Ana Steele, the cast was settled with Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam. Hunnam, who withdrew from the film due to a backlash of media frenzied fans who said the role simply wasn’t meant for the actor, officially abandoned the project and was replaced by Dornan. Notice how more is being written about the casting history of the film more than the plot itself?

The lead actors of the film, must have approached the role as a double edged sword of fame and credibility. For one, Johnson and Dornan are destined of becoming household names, especially with the promise of huge economic gain, given the novels already huge fan base and demands of sequels. Yet, Fifty Shades of Grey brings to question one very important question: are artists and actors, willing to sacrifice their artistic integrity for fame and fortune? I mean, how else could one describe the leads being able to learn and mesmerize their lines in only five days?

Fifty Shades of Grey did not upset me as much as I thought it would. What upsets me most about this highly questionable and overwhelmingly popular phenomena is its misuse in everyday people’s lives and the misleading conception of romance and its force for capitalist gain. Whereas, this time of year, romantic films are cleverly slotted before the Valentine’s Day week, this is one film that abandons romance and the pure notion of ‘love’ for sole monetary gain. Do people really care to be the submissive? Is there going to be a surge in toys and fetish tools thanks to the film? Quite possibly. How else do you explain an officially marketed branding of fifty shades sex toys and fetish equipment at your local sex store?… Expand

Do they secretly push drugs and cover themselves as an impressive building that's an entire city block? What? I still don't know, as a viewer and not a reader. From the standpoint of a film student, having techniques and all ingrained into my mind, I do give this movie a star on cinematography, because I did appreciate it. Some of the set lighting was curiously put, but it worked. I didn't like the acting. It was awkward. Not a spark of chemistry for me between Dorman and Johnson. There wasn't enough background for me either. This was really just a mess, and the sex made its money back. I didn't have much for this movie at all.

As I stated before I did not read the books so I have the added benefit of judging this as just a film rather than judging it as an adaptation.
This movie is not atrocious but its not good by any means. This film is all about a relationship, regardless of what they do in there relationship, This is the key factor in this film, the most important part about it. It was this key element that fifty shades of grey lacks. The relationship between Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey was not believable at all. The chemistry between the two actors was stiff and unbelievable. Although Dakota's performances was the redeemable quality of this film. It was Jaime's performance that gave the relationship it's stiff and scripted feel. Even though I didn't read the books and I don't know what Christian Grey's character is suppose to be, I still felt his character should have had more presence on the screen, Anastasia up staged him totally when he is suppose to be the dominant one.
One of the biggest complaints I heard about the book was how poorly the book was written. This is clearly the case because the script was awful. The dialogue, the story, and most importantly the relationship between Christian and Anastasia. I think this film had the potential to portray this relationship and all it entails with out making an all out smut film, but by having an actor who dominates the screen, as the relationship. Someone with more charisma. Instead it was Anastasia who stole the scenes.
I think my biggest problem with this film is the fact it would have been interesting to see this story play out the way it was suppose to. To take this taboo subject and have it reflected in this film. I am going to give fifty shades of grey a 4 out of 10. I recommend this if you have read the books and want to see this play out on the big screen, unfortunately if you liked the book I think your gonna be disappointed. Thanks for reading… Expand

By then, I felt obligated to see this simply because I'd read the book. All I can really say on this one is that it was a HUGE waste of time! The film's R-rating pretty much meant that it would have to be tamed way down compared to the book. Sure enough, it was, and the final result isn't that great. The acting was far worse than I originally anticipated. Jamie Dornan needs to pick a better speech coach next time, because I could easily tell the guy's from Ireland since the accent kept slipping through the entire time he talked. Dakota Johnson didn't do much better, as I found myself laughing to myself and the way she delivered her lines and dialogue in some parts. Overall, in the end, all this film really was is a failed attempt to adapt an erotic novel into a film that can only get so erotic due to its R-rating. In addition to that, it's just another reminder of BDSM relationships (and this film completely glorifies it!)… Expand

Every single character in this film was one-dimensional. They all felt like props, placed in a film simply to tell one simplified story. And that story kept going and going and going. No sub plots, just one.

I liked the book, but I think the execution majorly fell apart in film. Some say it had entertainment value. I thought most of the raunchy scenes were strangely disjointed. I mean, were they meant to make you laugh, or get hot? I couldn't tell.

You would have had to have your brain scooped out to buy into the absurd premise that this boring, monotonous, derivative, cheesy-porno dreck has anything to do with love, or even satisfactory coupling. If you manage to make it through the movie without nodding off at the tedium or just cutting your losses and leaving early, you will understand why the distributors and their media enablers had to promote the heck out of this dog to get people into the theatres. The record that 50SOG should be setting is "the year's biggest gotcha." What a bunch of hype for a zero of a movie.

The thin storyline is nothing new. To reduce it to its basics and give nothing away that you probably have not already surmised just from the trailer and the heavy hype leading up to its release: Sicko beats up Flavor of the Moment and she pretends to enjoy it in exchange for access to Sicko's money and trappings, natch. Charming, huh? A romantic Valentine story? Not and not.

Tinsel Town has reached another low in this stinker of a movie with its fake flagellations, man-on-woman violence and gratuitous sex. About the best that can be said is that at least you get to sit in a theatre seat out of the winter cold for two hours, and you do have two hours of escapism where you do not have to consider the day's beheadings by the Islamic terrorists steadily expanding their already-New Hampshire-sized territory.

50SOG is pretty much devoid of imagination: If this S & M genre is your thing, the oldie The Story of O, or even 9 1/2 Weeks, is not as tedious as this movie is, and those casts are better-looking and better actors. Older filmgoers might also vaguely equate the lack of merit in 50SOG with the icky, degrading Last Tango in Paris: Maria, the butter. Ana baby, the whip. Hollywood cannot seem to "discipline" itself to avoid these irresponsible and degrading themes.

Obviously, 50SOG is unapologetically anti-woman and pro-sexual-violence, and generations of women with any sense of history or context (and critical thinking skills surpassing those of a second grader - and let us not forget that most second graders would have a keener sense of stranger danger than apparently the stupid Ana does) are hurling in their popcorn to think that any moviegoers, particularly the confused women who have fueled the success of this dud in both book and now movie form, mistake sexual assault and battery with love, romance or satisfactory coupling. Sexual abuse is not love. Abuse is not cute, not clever, not cool, not fun, not funny, not entertaining. Abuse is sick and an offense. Where is the PC Police when you really need them?

The US film industry must be pretty dead, too, if Melanie Griffith's daughter could not get better work than this merde, given her connections.

Bottom line, as is obvious from my opinion as expressed in this review, and which also seems to be the 186 to 132 majority view of reviewers on this thread: Save your time and money for a good movie, as 50SOG stinks. About the only reason to waste your time with this dog is if it is a cold day and you need a place to get in out of the elements for two (long) hours and you only have $14 in your pocket. Otherwise, stay clear.- La Mer

This film is an embarrassment to women, not at all what I thought it was supposed to portray from the media hype. It's a movie about one mousey girl who falls for a sociopath billionaire in Munchausen's fashion. Nothing to do with the girlThis film is an embarrassment to women, not at all what I thought it was supposed to portray from the media hype. It's a movie about one mousey girl who falls for a sociopath billionaire in Munchausen's fashion. Nothing to do with the girl actually enjoying sex; a massive step backwards for women getting what they want sexually from and with a partner.… Expand

"Here is a man who saw his chance at the beginning of World War II and moved to Nazi-occupied Poland to open a factory and employ Jews at starvation wages. His goal was to become a millionaire. By the end of the war, he had risked his life and spent his fortune to save those Jews and had defrauded the Nazis for months with a munitions factory that never produced a single usable shell. "

I mean: Putting aside the BDSM scenes, in many stages there was unavoidable to remember similarities (including "bed scenes") with the film starred by Julia Roberts and Richard Gere in the 90s.

My note: 2 points, one of them by the staging and the other by the excellent performance of Dakota Johnson.… Expand
