the worst movie I've ever seen. it teaches men that if they have money and handsome, they can love, torture and abuse any woman that is beautiful, the movie also teaches women to be in an abusive relationship. why they represent the women asthe worst movie I've ever seen. it teaches men that if they have money and handsome, they can love, torture and abuse any woman that is beautiful, the movie also teaches women to be in an abusive relationship. why they represent the women as a weak person and the man as a strong person. and I can't imagine the fact that this movie was released in valentine's day, like which two people that love each other will watch this bad movie.

At its best, it's the kind of movie you watch with a giddy grin. Otherwise, it's obviously bad and actually pretty tame for a movie about BDSM. Dakota Johnson is great, but Jamie Dornan gives a flat performance.

English is not my native language but I went to college and I appreciate sophisticated vocabulary . I could not believe the poor language in the book. I thought a 12 years old have written it so I was not able to read it. The only reason why I went to the theater was that I loved both trailers and the soundtrack and of course all the talking attached to the movie. I went with my girlfriends because my bf totally refused to come with me. To du stride the movie had something magical attached to it. Till this day I can't say what it was because I know this production does not qualify fior an Oscar but there is totally something magical to it. I hardly ever watch the movie fit a second time but I can't wait till it's available on dvd. I want to mention that I was very upset that the movie was qualified as soft porn. Whoever calls it that has no idea what they are talking about. Sex scenes are very tasteful and you don't get see too much of private parts in the movie. It has never been close to a any kind of porn. Also the sex scenes are very brief and not the major plot in the movie. I know for some parts the movie doesn't make sense and makes you wonder what's really going on but it's very aintriguing and pleasant to watch. The music is outstanding and complements the story very well. Overall if you are a romantic female you might love the movie as I do, but if you are a guy expecting sine action you might get really disappointed. Another thing, anyone saying this movie is promoting domestic abuse is out of their mind because everything in the movie is consensual and presented in a really fascinating way. My favorite movie in a while, thumbs up! Expand

I think Jonathan Rhys Myers, for instance, would suit better for job. Anyway, it's a good movie. It's more romance than pure sex. Expand

I didn't read the first book but after watching to movie and seeing the ending, I bought all three books and just finished the second. While the books are not intellectual, it's a good story, not great but not horrible. I loved the movie and I think Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan did very well at bringing these characters to life, could not imagine anyone else playing the part better.

The only part i can really criticize is that Ana seemed really manipulative. Dude was a creeper twice, sure, showed up when he shouldn't know where she was. But other than that, he was really blunt and explicit about what he wanted and needed from her. She on the other hand, says, "Give it to me," and acts like a little bi*ch when he does, in fact give it to her. Didn't read the books and i don't care about your feminist dissertation on how this is "abuse," or why I'm supposed to dislike it. Jamie Dornan is a good actor in a tough role, fighting his natural accent. Melanie Griffuths daughter...well she was okay i guess. People are overreacting to this soooooo much. See the movie and make up your own mind. Expand

She never showed any aptitude in writing before, but it was something to do next to running the family, which pinned her to her house for the better part of the day. The writing didn't ask much imagination as the stories were pretty formulaic. Like painting by numbers she just stayed within predefined boundaries and soon enough she cranked out another cheap novelette under the name of a non-existent writer such as D. J. Barding.

The ingredients were always the same. The main protagonist was a woman aged twenty something to forty, single, and without any kids to tie her down. The man was in the same age range, but always a few years older, single as well, without romantic involvements. A setup to pursue their dalliance. Also the man was usually of a higher social standing and income group. She being a nurse, him being a doctor. She being a maiden, him being a lord. She being a student, him being a billionaire. And finally there was always something to surmount: a troubled past or a social barrier. The end saw the two joined in happy union. Usually.

Sounds familiar?
It is almost verbatim the story outline of fifty shades of grey.

At this point you would expect me to start a long list of this movie's shortcomings, but I have to disappoint you for I am on the same page with the nostalgia critic in that this movie does the best with what it has got . In fact I will do one better. I find it a hilarious movie and it might be aiming for cult status by making a mockery of itself and of you.

There are preposterous moments such as at the beginning when the female protagonist, Anna, tells to a friend that Grey is so clean. Wait. What did she just say? I checked and, heck, she says it: clean.. Grey is clean. This is her appraisal of a guy she just met. And somewhat further into the movie he pops up in the hardware store she is working in and starts buying things as tie ribs, ropes and chains. And I doubled over laughing. Was this a promise of things to come? Would she, later on, be subjected to what he is buying together with her there and then?

And when he shows her his 'play room', a chamber done in black and red with racks filled with whips, floggers and canes - with only the bloody saw missing -, the only valid response would be to judge him **** crazy and flee, but instead she gapes as if he just revealed his private art collection, while at the same time listening to him telling her how he will use that stuff on her cause it is the only thing that turns him on. It is perfectly clear: they are seriously odd in the head.

More hilarious moments follow when they come to the contract he so persistently insists upon. So we get a lengthy exposition of all the particulars of the fetish contract and she even calls for a meeting to go point for point through the contract discussing such things as the use vaginal clamps and anal fisting. All things he wants to do to her.

Everything is off kilter in this movie that follows the prescription of a cheap romance flick but fills it with concepts that hail from the fetish world. He keeps on telling her how does not do the romantic thing, but for a large part of the movie he just does that, taking her with him in his helicopter, driving her around in his Lamborghini, taking her out for dinner and wooing her. He says A, but does B. And she believes B and ignores A. No wait she eventually begs him to do A. And when it happens she is really upset.

This movie is a trashy romantic tale you wouldn't have wanted to see if it it hadn't held the promise of kinkiness. The sin of this movie therefore lies not with the movie, but with its detractors. What did you expect? Romeo and Jullia go kinky? Pride and Prejudice in skin tight leathers? Superheroes in latex instead of spandex? You knew it is crap. You know crap stays crap no matter what. Only in nature crap can produce roses. But ultimately what you wanted was PG rated kinky porn. That is by definition impossible. PG is not adult. If you want to see kinky porn go watch kinky porn. Histoire d'O springs to mind.

This movie gets a ten because it makes a mockery of the source material and it exposes people for what they are: hypocrites. I am looking at you who goes to watch this on Valentine's day and gets disappointed! What where you thinking?

But most of all because it gives a big middle finger to those who wanted so see their desire to have a continuous sexual stimulus, cloaked as having a 'special' relationship, a joining of spirits, vindicated and branded as a lifestyle. BDSM isn't. You do it cause it turns you on. Just like using butt-plugs all the time : it is a fetish. And it remains abuse if you need to hurt someone else for pleasure even if it is with consent and even if you label it differently. And that is what this movie shows you bondage fetishists and that is why you hate it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished watching Fifty Shades of Grey and I thought the director and actors did a good job with the film. For all the nay sayers out there, you can have your opinion, but this story is not about domestic abuse. It is far from it. 1. They both consent to the activities in the contract. 2. She wants to know the punishment to the fullest. 3. If she wanted to stop she could have used the safe words at anytime and she chose not too. The other to books explain a lot of this. I have read romantic novels and other erotica novels . Fifty shades is actually quite tame compared to others such as the series Tiffany Reiz that include Siren, The mistress, The prince, and etc. In these novels they do get marked and it is more explicit and it explains more of the BDSM world such as what collars represent and how most submissives turn to being dominants, etc. If they explained the contract more in the movie with FSOG, you would have known that one of the hard conditions was not to mark or harm the skin in any way, no hot waxes, cutting or any of that. It dives deep into Grey and explains why he does what he does and why in general people go into the BDSM world. I don't feel abusive relationships are the same. For I have been in one and I would know. Individuals are controlling in both the difference is with BDSM you have a choice and can choose to stop, but with the other it happens whether you want it to or not and it doesn't stop. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I went to see the film the weekend it came out, my expectations were limited. This is only because of the last few books made into films have not done well review wise since Hunger Games. That being said, I give this film an okay on the like and dislike meter; the dislike comes from the lack of forethought on the writers behalf. They refused to use proper transitions when cutting scene to scene; so, when someone who has read the books will wonder how the characters reached a certain point. Ex- when christen invites Ana and Kate to take photos of him for Kate's article, the script writers went from hardware store to the room where the photos were being taken. This happens throughout the whole film along with speedy line reading from Jamie Dornan, who refused to slow down and allow the audience to connect with what he was saying. There was also a lack of use with the supporting characters, their scenes were either speed up and disorienting or obsolete. The movie did not need Mia because Kate's brother Ethan was not mentioned in the film, and their was no reason for Ana's mom to be in the film either because the audience never even saw "Ms. Robinson" who was briefly mentioned and used way too aggressively. Furthermore, the film is 2 hours long, and the writers/directors could have used them more consciously instead of taking lines form the book and calling it a day. Expand

Arriving as a target to face a probable onslaught of negative reviews from cynical and jaded critics, I decided to view this media juggernaut before passing judgement myself. Not having read the book, and having absolutely no desire to do so,Arriving as a target to face a probable onslaught of negative reviews from cynical and jaded critics, I decided to view this media juggernaut before passing judgement myself. Not having read the book, and having absolutely no desire to do so, I was still curious as to what the story was aside from containing the odd kinky sex scene. The good news is that whilst it may be a bit of fluff, it’s slick and oddly intriguing fluff that contains two impressive performances, top notch production values and beautiful music that perfectly underscores the drama.
The aforementioned sexual content has had critics using the words ‘bland’ and ‘vanilla’ whereas, in fact, for a mainstream commercial film these scenes are actually quite strong. They have been very well integrated into the story and first rate choreography and editing have maximised their effect. Let’s face it this is fluff, not porn, and so this was never going to be ‘Deep Throat’ or ‘Debbie Does Dallas’ and I for one am extremely thankful for it. Also, strangely for a film that is aimed primarily at women, as I’m sure the book was, it has the potential to also alienate many of that gender. I’m sure not all women will be appreciative of Christian Grey’s very singular sexual proclivities.
Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson have great chemistry together and Johnson in particular is an actress to watch. Dornan certainly looks the part, but his performance is is better in the TV series ‘The Fall’. It’s also good to see Jennifer Ehle and Marcia Gay Harden in support, albeit in thankless mother roles. Still, this is undoubtedly Johnson and Dornan’s dance and the two leads make the material work.
The film also benefits by not taking itself too seriously. Dornan, in particular, seems to be playing Grey with his tongue very firmly in his cheek. One scene in which the two characters partake of a formal Business meeting is very amusingly played out. On the other hand an early bar scene showing a drunk Johnson being rescued by Grey represents the film at its worst.
If the film ultimately outstays its welcome it nevertheless has exceeded expectations. It may not be highbrow entertainment, but it’s certainly not torture.

This is really just a cat-and-mouse romance with a BDSM twist. It's success depends on the performances of the 2 leads and the director's skill at maintaining tension in what's basically a dialogue. Surprisingly, Dornan is prettier than Johnson, but they both create characters that are complex and compelling. Director Sam Taylor-Johnson has filled the film with sexually-charged stress and attractively erotic sex scenes. It's every woman's dream of a dazzling, devoted lover (granted, with some emotional complications) and it's played out with alluring skill. Expand

Never a movie exceeded the imagination. Technically it is very well done, photography is great, the performances are excellent and very summary captures the essence of the main drafts of the novel .They wanted to see more pornography? No need to be so explicit, strong scenes were very well worked and nudes are more emotional and real .They lead us to fully identify with the characters.

Yes, they left quite a bit out, but that's expected with a film adaptation. I can't wait for Fifty Shades Darker. The only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is because I felt they relied to heavily on the soundtrack to provide their emotions and thoughts where they could have added important scenes from the book. They missed a golden opportunity to show a more playful, happy Christian by not leaving out him returning to spend the night with Ana and being late for work the next morning. A first for the billionaire CEO. Expand

Loved it!!! Yes, It is a faerie tale and it is about abuse.
Anastasia Steel (the knight and shiny armour) goes to the depths of hell to retrieve precious soul of an abused for ten years Christian Grey (prince in distress ). She is an innocent virgin not by coincidence. She needs to be to get the task done.
I live under rock, so I didn't know anything about the movie or the books until now (the books are not good, Anastasia's character in books is way too shallow to be trusted with this complex relationship)
There is awkwardness which makes it realistic because they are both new to their persuades.
The picture is beautiful, the soundtrack amazing and acting great. Dakota Johnson, no doubt beautiful, looks refreshingly human in contrast to (sometime seen in movies like this) "not from this earth" Hollywood stars. Jamie Dornan is gorgeous and very lovable considering his plight.
Common guys...! Can't you appreciate being rescued for once, instead being always expected to rescue someone...? I am sure there is a guy out there holding on to his dear existence by hundred percent control and is tired of it.
To those who are so angry about this movie: face your issues....please. To those who are so dismissive: check the depths of your character..please. There is room for improvement in regards to conducting our dysfunction appropriately. Don't underestimate the power of art. The movie is beautiful and I can't wait to see the sequels.
(Hopefully you will understand...English is my second language)

Yes, it can have some cheesy moments and I love the casting, but the lead's chemistry isn't quite right....but still....there are moments of levity, arousal, and cringing with a really good popcorn flick. MEN I urge you if your lady wants to see this....GO! You will make her happy, aroused, AND Dakota Johnson (very bravely and tastefully) is naked....a lot....I think this movie plays it a little too safe & 2 (later important) characters are left out, but overall the changes were just right. This movie can be as good as you want it to be and worth every dollar. Expand

All that aside, 'Grey' is not any more a waste of money than 'Hitch' or 'Maid in Manhattan' or any of the others.
Moral of the movie: girls, when the guy tells you in clear and plain language exactly who he is, don't delude yourself into believing you can change him into Prince Charming. Believe him and either accept the frog, warts and all, or bail out and go look elsewhere.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am going to say that if you didn't read the book, a lot is not going to make sense to you, since lots of exposition was cut out (for time constraints), and we don't "hear" the endless tellings of Ana's Inner Goddess (which at least let you in a little bit about what the hell is going on, even if it was one of the worst parts of the book). That said, the movie was about as hokey as the book. I went to the movie to try to understand the characters better, and their motivations still make no sense. Even Grey, in the movie, basically tells us that that's just the way he is (with a possible transference from "Mrs. Robinson"). Ana I just don't get. She is naive and curious, yes, but she just jumps full on into Grey's twisted world?! And at the last second when he actually physically hurts her (at her request), she does a 180? Obviously, they get back together (since there are 2 more books), so I assume we learn more about the characters, but a story needs to be complete in a single volume. The only reason I even gave the movie 5/10 (the book I would say is a 3) is because I wasn't totally bored, and Dakota was pretty damn good (Jamie not so much). Expand

Fifty Shades of Grey is Twilight, without the religious crap, sorry to say but the relationships in Twilight didn't feel genuine or plausible - supernatural aspects aside - and thank goodness she doesn't wait four books to put out. The film is sensual, not sexual even thought there are boobs, bushes, and **** in it. It's a BDSM love story that reeks of teenage drama and desperation but it's still fun to watch, what does that say about?

Sam Taylor-Johnson delivered a tasteful movie despite the dicey subject. Fifty Shades is well shot, the cinematography is beautiful and luminescent - sorry about that word - literally bringing to light BDSM practices. She suggested sex without showing it, to be honest she showed quite a bit. But once again, the movie is sensual and not arousing - at least, it didn't arouse me. Taylor-Johnson also got some pretty surprising performances out of her actors. Jaime Dornan and Dakota Johnson were surprisingly very good.

Jamie Dornan is exceedingly good in this role, not that he is a bad actor, but I wasn't sure he could pull it off. He does though, he plays mysterious and domination well, and also clearly shows how Christian Grey loves the crack the whip. Dakota Johnson as the young and innocent Bella, I mean Anastasia is brilliant, she probably would have been a better Bella than Kristen Stewart - sorry but it's kind of true.

I hope Dakota Johnson had a hell of a pay day out of this movie because however tasteful it is, she's naked a lot in this film.

Chessy dialogues and unnecessary inuendos aside, Fifty Shades of Grey is not that bad.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As I sat there and the movie was ending, there were shouts of "Oh come on, that's it?" Obviously there were quite a few that had not read the book. Yes that is where the book end in all it's dramatic glory, but it not the end of the story. I encouraged many to read it all. Taking it for what it is, Fifty Shades is a very creative twist on the Twilight story. The movie, although a little rushed in parts, played out much like the book. Dakota Johnson filled her role with pizzazz. Jamie Dornan was pretty good. He fit the role physically, but I felt he could have done better. Jennifer Ehle and Marcia Gay were adorable at playing there respective mother roles. I wish there was a little more Mia and Ray. I did like how they put a little of Christian's background in there. It's definitely sexually charged. It is not a family movie. On that note, to those saying it is a relationship based on rape. Yes, there are moments where he gets a little violent but it was consensual and she had a safe word. When she said 'no', that was it, end of story. The 'nice to know you' and 'another cosmo' scenes were my favorite. I don't know if there are any plans to make the sequels, but I know from the responses in the theatre, it would make a lot of non-readers happy to know that it isn't the end, it gets much better. More drama in store and both Christian and Ana have some growing to do. Overall, the movie was as I expected. No more. Expand

Quem sustenta qualquer produto são as pessoas que gostam. Harry Potter em 10 anos nunca ganhou um Oscar, nem de efeito especial, mudou alguma coisa? Crepúsculo por exemplo tem 50 milhões de seguidores no Facebook, e sempre foi massacrado.

Pois ebtão, será que eles (esmagadora maioria elas) gostaram do filme? A resposta é que 90% sim, adorou, mas sem deixar de fazer ressalvas. Muito se falou que o filme é muito resumido, corta muita coisa do livro e tem cenas de sexo mais leves, mas a grande maioria dos fãs também entendem bem, como funciona uma adaptação para o cinema, e que isso é normal.

A fidelidade do filme foi muito elogiada, o que era esperado, uma vez que a autora sempre esteve dando pitacos e decidindo detalhes nos bastidores da produção. A maior negatividade em comentários que encontrei, foi quando as paginas oficiais do livro e filme sugeriam um relacionamento com o Sr. Grey, o que mostra que o sadomasoquismo assusta muitas pessoas, e algumas desinformadas chegam a achar que se trata de violência, mas é minoria.

A lot of people have given the movie a really bad review with a low rating but I rate this movie a 10 out of 10!. I do believe that the users who left rubbish reviews expected more detail but they need to understand there is a difference between a book and a movie. Books contain a lot more detail than movies! I particularly think that people have left rubbish reviews because the dirty scenes were not shown in a lot of detail but WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT???! if you want to see more sex then you are better off sitting at home on PORN-HUB. Christian was absolutely gorgeous! and so was Anastasia! the acting was brilliant, the movie was exactly like the book so I don't see why people are complaining, YOU WATCHED WHAT YOU READ, so what is the difference!? people expect too much.
This movie was totally worth and I will happily go again!.

Christian Grey would have been an easier man to understand if he'd been a conventional hero, fighting for his beliefs. The fact that he was flawed - a drinker, a gambler, a womanizer, driven by greed and a lust for high living - makes hisChristian Grey would have been an easier man to understand if he'd been a conventional hero, fighting for his beliefs. The fact that he was flawed - a drinker, a gambler, a womanizer, driven by greed and a lust for high living - makes his life an enigma.
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.
Why did he change? What happened to turn him from a victimizer into a humanitarian? It is to the great credit of Sam Taylor-Johnson that his film "Fifty Shades of Grey" does not even attempt to answer that question. Any possible answer would be too simple, an insult to the mystery of Grey's life. The Holocaust was a vast evil engine set whirling by racism and madness. Grey outsmarted it, in his own little corner of the war, but he seems to have had no plan, to have improvised out of impulses that remained unclear even to himself. In this movie, the best he has ever made, Taylor-Johnson treats the fact of the Holocaust and the miracle of Grey's feat without the easy formulas of fiction.
The movie is 184 minutes long, and like all great movies, it seems too short. It begins with Grey (Jamie Dornan), a tall, strong man with an intimidating physical presence. He dresses expensively and frequents nightclubs, buying caviar and champagne for Nazi officers and their girls, and he likes to get his picture taken with the top brass. He wears a Nazi party emblem proudly in his buttonhole. He has impeccable black market contacts, and he's able to find nylons, cigarettes, brandy: He is the right man to know. The authorities are happy to help him open a factory to build enameled cooking utensils that army kitchens can use. He is happy to hire Jews because their wages are lower, and Grey will get richer that way.
Grey's genius is in bribing, scheming, conning. He knows nothing about running a factory and finds Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson), a Jewish accountant, to handle that side of things. Steele moves through the streets of Krakow, hiring Jews for Grey.
Because the factory is a protected war industry, a job there may guarantee longer life.
The relationship between Grey and Steele is developed by Taylor-Johnson with enormous subtlety. At the beginning of the war, Grey wants only to make money, and at the end he wants only to save "his" Jews. We know that Steele understands this. But there is no moment when Grey and Steele bluntly state what is happening, perhaps because to say certain things aloud could result in death.
This subtlety is Taylor-Johnson's strength all through the film. His screenplay, by Kelly Marcel, based on the novel by E.L. James, isn't based on contrived melodrama. Instead, Taylor-Johnson relies on a series of incidents, seen clearly and without artificial manipulation, and by witnessing those incidents we understand what little can be known about Grey and his scheme.
We also see the Holocaust in a vivid and terrible way. Taylor-Johnson gives us a Nazi prison camp commandant named Mrs. Grey (Marcia Gay Harden) who is a study in the stupidity of evil. From the veran da of her "villa," overlooking the prison yard, she shoots Jews for target practice. (Grey is able to talk her out of this custom with an appeal to her vanity so obvious it is almost an insult.) Mrs. Grey is one of those weak hypocrites who upholds an ideal but makes herself an exception to it; she preaches the death of the Jews, and then chooses a pretty one named Kate (Eloise Mumford) to be her maid and falls in love with her. She does not find it monstrous that her people are being exterminated, and she is spared on her affectionate whim. She sees her personal needs as more important than right or wrong, life or death. Studying her, we realize that Nazism depended on people able to think like Jeffrey Dahmer.
Shooting in black and white on many of the actual locations of the events in the story (including Grey's original factory and even the gates of Auschwitz), Taylor-Johnson shows Grey dealing with the madness of the Nazi system. He bribes, he wheedles, he bluffs, he escapes discovery by the skin of his teeth. In the movie's most audacious sequence, when a trainload of his employees is mistakenly routed to Auschwitz, he walks into the death camp himself and brazenly talks the authorities out of their victims, snatching them from death and putting them back on the train to his factory.
What is most amazing about this film is how completely Taylor-Johnson serves his story. The movie is brilliantly acted, written, directed and seen. Individual scenes are masterpieces of art direction, cinematography, special effects, crowd control. Yet Taylor-Johnson, the stylist whose films often have gloried in shots we are intended to notice and remember, disappears into his work. Dornan, Johnson and the other actors are devoid of acting flourishes. There is a single-mindedness to the enterprise that is awesome.
At the end of the film, there is a sequence of overwhelming emotional impact, involving the actual people who were saved by Grey. We learn that "Grey's Jews" and their descendants today number about 6,000 and that the Jewish population of Poland is 4,000. The obvious lesson would seem to be that Grey did more than a whole nation to spare its Jews. That would be too simple. The film's message is that one man did something, while in the face of the Holocaust others were paralyzed. Perhaps it took a Christian Grey, enigmatic and reckless, without a plan, heedless of risk, a con man, to do what he did. No rational man with a sensible plan would have gotten as far.
The French author Flaubert once wrote that he disliked Uncle Tom's Cabin because the author was constantly preaching against slavery. "Does one have to make observations about slavery?" he asked. "Depict it; that's enough." And then he added, "An author in his book must be like God in the universe, present everywhere and visible nowhere." That would describe Taylor-Johnson, the author of this film. He depicts the evil of the Holocaust, and he tells an incredible story of how it was robbed of some of its intended victims. He does so without the tricks of his trade, the directorial and dramatic contrivances that would inspire the usual melodramatic payoffs. Taylor-Johnson is not visible in this film. But his restraint and passion are present in every shot.

It shows an inexperienced girl suddenly experiencing all these sensations and emotions. It shows one couple's epic love story, their pain, their lust, and their need for each other. They love each other, and their slowly admitting that to one another. If you can't see that past the physical attraction sex scenes, then you're too young to be reading this series in the first place. Expand

The movie was good but not great. And here is why. If you haven't read
the books – I would not recommend seeing the movie. I really couldn't
understand how someone could understand what was going on. I think
Dakota Johnson did spot on job and very much portrayed the Anastasia
"Ana" like the books. I think Jamie Dornan did a good job with the
material that he had. I think that his mysterious aura, past demons and
a deeper understanding of him is revealed in book 2. My only disappointment I do think
that certain parts of the movie there was opportunities to fly a few more sparks. Positive, I was pleasantly surprised that there was quite a bit of wit and humor.

I read the trilogy three times and understood there is no way to show
the complete story (1501 pages) in a two-hour film. So, a lot people
didn't understand that the movie was ONLY PART 1. So right when you
were starting to get into the movie, it pretty much ended abruptly, and
the screen went black. It should of stated at that time Part 2 Fifty
Shades Darker coming in 2016. Universal has thankfully hired a new
screenwriter for part 2. I'm excited about that because book 2 really
gets into the guts of the story the characters and why Christian Grey
is the way he is.

For reference I am a guy who dislikes chick flicks, but I like indie artsy types of films, so I guess my 6/10 makes sense. Also, I did not read the books and you don't need to have read them to watch or understand or even enjoy the film. I enjoyed some parts of it, some parts were a little boring, but honestly, most of the time Mr. Grey and the girl were on screen together it was pretty interesting and captured my attention. It was not a bad film.

Some of the dialogue however was bad, so bad that it made me laugh. But the guys character is supposed to be stiff, so it works. Mainly though, in terms of the sex, if you have seen a single porn in your life then it wont be anything even remotely shocking. The sex was very PG, and it was much more about foreplay, or whatever it is that women like and think about so much. That was basically the whole point of the film was some kind of long drawn out sexual foreplay. But without even much sex. It was however interesting for as long as he was on screen, and when he was not I started to get bored momentarily...(they are on screen together most of the film though.)

6/10, it was OK. Really no reason to get excited unless you are a middle aged woman, or uptight about sex.

On the other hand, Johnson made an adaptation that has a stunning soundtrack, great sex scenes and Dakota gives a perfect performance as Anastasia. For fans this will be awesome and even for people who didn't read read the books this can be an interesting entertainment. It's the classical love story we all know to be honest. Expand

James does not getAfter falling in love with the Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy, not to mention absolutely obsessed with Christian Grey and Anastasia Steel's relationship, when I heard there was a movie coming out, I had mixed feelings. E.J. James does not get enough credit for her work and like me and most other public readers of Fifty Shades, myself and others are often immediately judged. I will state that E.J. James revolutionized writing as well as giving the women an option to enjoy "porn" instead of watching the nasty, totally unrealistic scenes on our computers. Therefore with all this in mind, I was excited for the movie, I watched interviews and the trailer about a billion times, I couldn't wait. Now, my boyfriend being the boyfriend he is he said, "absolutely not" when I asked him to go see it on opening night with me, so I pushed it off until now. My person opinion is... This book is freaking hard to make into a movie and I give the directors, play writers etc... credit for giving it their best shot, but like myself and others, we all let our imaginations run wild while reading this book therefore this movie maybe appealed to someones imagination... but not mine and my roommates in particular. I thought this movie would appeal more to men than women, by this I mean I'm not trying to see boobs every other scene, but I do understand it is part of Christian Grey's "fifty shades." But this is a female fantasy/ book therefore the movie should appeal to us women! Another point, this movie moved WAY too fast! I get it you need to fit a 500 page book into a two hour movie but holy cow did they miss the connection making between Christian and Ana! I don't want to harp on this movie because like I said, it is near to impossible to appeal to everyone's imaginations. My last point would be, if you read the books and enjoy a good movie, go to the movie anyways because Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan do a fantastic job on what will probably be the hardest role they will ever play. All in all, if you haven't read the books, read them. If you haven't seen the movie and have the opportunity, like me, to go to $5 movie night take the opportunity to go see it with your girlfriends and go home to your hubbies and see what fifty shades you can come up with!

I enjoyed the chemistry between her and the stone-cold Christian Grey, played by Jamie Dornan, and it was really the only reason I could sit through 2+ hrs. of this adult version of Twilight. While the movie isn't that good at all, the relationship assessments were intriguing. The realization that relationships require trust to be built and maintained, and that anyone can have a dark sexual fantasy or skeleton in their closet that is unknown to the world is always fascinating and very real. Learning to release the shame and risk being vulnerable to another person scares the crap out of so many people in the world, but properly-placed trust offers incredible rewards, and I think that Christian Grey is on his way to learning that. The problem I have with that is there's two more books to address that, and I'm curious how anyone can muster up enough on-screen time to make any audience feel like they should show up. The first movie coasted on anticipation and controversy. A second and third film wouldn't benefit from that luxury. Perhaps Focus Features and the screen-adaptation can work to remedy any literary faults and find ways to charge the 50 Shades story with more interest, instead of relying solely on the sexual fantasies of women to find success.

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

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. I read a bunch of reviews on it from other users and pro critics that gave the movie a bad rap, but again, I was pleasantly surprised. Now hold it before you start flaming me and **** because that's what the internet does just hear me out.
A: A movie isn't bad because there is a lack of consent. That doesn't make a bad movie. Sure it makes a bad moral, doesn't give the right message, may encourage people, but that does NOT MAKE A BAD MOVIE.
B: She does give consent, just not written. At the graduation scene she says OK to his request. Yes he perused her, but how many movies does the guy peruse the girl or vise versa? What makes this movie different? Just because they have explicit sex scenes in it?
C: BDSM is OK. Personally, I do not like it. Does that mean whips, sticks, belts, rope, blindfolding, and gags are gross, horrifying, and disgusting? Of course! To me at least. People are into that kind of thing is a kink, and kink is wonderful. Hell people don't like my kinks or fetishes, some of which would be gross, horrifying, and disgusting to most people but that's peoples' kinks and there is nothing wrong with it. If you don't like it, that's not the movie's problem. It's yours, and why should the movie conform to your opinions? A movie is there to entertain you, and if you are not entertained by BDSM, then watch another movie, nobody is stopping you. There isn't a guy at the exit saying, "You paid for this movie so that mean's you can't leave."
D: This isn't a **** dating movie. If I wanted to have an erotic time with my partner, I wouldn't want to have it in a theatre with a big sweaty guy with a box of milk duds sitting next to me. That, and I don't watch sex scenes with my partner because that's not what I'm into.
Now that my rant is aside, the movie overall was a bit more than alright (that's a 5). The plot was surprisingly deep, showing us what a lack of communication can lead to. It also explores detrimental child abuse, the lack of two people not being able to mesh but have a deep infatuation with each other, a first relationship, and most importantly, how far can a relationship go when it's just based off of looks. It's quite emotional at parts as you feel either empathy/hatred for Grey or Anastasia. That's probably about the driving point of the film itself. The cinematography was good for the most part, scenery was great the whole way through, writing was... eh, and I'm sure glad it was a good adaptation and they didn't go strictly by the book. The only big problem I had was the acting. Not that it was all bad, but the contrast in quality between a good female role and a bad male role threw me off.
Overall: a bit over a bogie, but not yet par.

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

Most romance novels/movies at least try to have a pretense of reality, e.g. down on his luck but sexy cowboy, workoholic tv producer, etc, but not this one. The plot/fantasy is basically right out of a high school girl's diary: a helicopter flying, piano playing, extremely attractive, 27-year-old billionaire picks you out of a crowd for no reason and obsesses over you. It's more over the top than most romance flicks, but that's to be expected.

What I didn't expect was that a romance-novel movie with such an over-the-top premise would be so unbelievably un-sexy. This doesn't really qualify as a guilty pleasure, because almost an hour in the only excitement you get is a 2 minute chopper ride and some discussion of contract law. The film barely manages any suspense or temptation, and despite several minutes of build-up, Grey's (spoilers) pleasure room is really underwhelming.

I went in expecting it to be a bad guilty pleasure, but instead Fifty Shades of Grey is a really, really expensive-looking spectacle to be gawked at and laughed at.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be honest, I haven't read the book. So as you can see, the following will be just a vision created by what can be extracted from the movie itself: I gave it a mixed score because I considered it that way, such as if you have 0.5 and want to approximate it and the result gets to be 1. The actors are good, just that; they show failures and tend to overact, but, due to the film characteristics, that's just the minimal necessity for it. Now, what's important: the movie itself. The proposal its interesting and the exposure given to the viewers its creative; you don't usually see BDSM practice in movies, and even more, to be "socially" accepted. But that's not the principal thematic about the movie, the problem is that it gets to show hypocrisy. We have this "relationship" between Anastasia and Christian where he wants her to fit his profile and she tries to adapt to it, but it never gets fulfilled; there is always some sort of resistance between both, and mostly coming from Steele (which I find actually pretty funny), where she always plays with him, due to the intention from his to be "dominant over the submissive" but her intention is not to give in easily; that's the biggest problem and inconvenient coming from the film. They sell the movie as the "romantic story" which is in the dreams of every teenager fan of the book: Christian Grey plays with Anastasia Steele in order to obtain pleasure and satisfaction, but as the end of the movie exposes, if you retire the satisfaction from the act, then this one becomes hollow*, such as the movie.

*Yes! The Imitation Game.

Terrible, just terrible. I tried to give it a chance, but honestly, I thought the book was horrible, so how could I expect much more from the movie version?

I tried to give it a chance, but honestly, I thought the book was horrible, so how could I expect much more from the movie version? Dakota Johnson wasn't half bad as Ana, but Jamie Dornan was terrible and had no expression on his face throughout the movie. The music was cheesy and the dialogue laughable. The sex was really clinical and the leads had zero chemistry. There was no passion, no spark, nothing. Suffice it to say after this bad experience I'm not going to see the sequel. Expand

Stupid, with amazingly dull script and boring story. If you're into bondage, you will enjoy some internet sites much more than this wannabe erotic drama. Really not worth anyone's time. 1/10

A fake gay man who is living his sick sexual fantasies.
Spanking as new sex rage
A movie at the speed of the 30 KM/hour zone
Actually a very smooth and stylish movie for the late hours, romance, love.
Great soundtrack

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!
