Definitely not unwatchable, but still boring

Rating: 6/10 (15 February 2015)

I was interested in why this story became such a big success, so I went to watch it last night. My opinion is, that this story (at least in the way it was adapted to the big screen) simply isn't entertaining enough for a 2-hour movie. It starts well, the main characters are interesting at the beginning (especially Grey), but after a 30 minutes of watching, I was pretty bored. In addition, the so-called story is very predictable, even for those who didn't read the book (like myself). The acting and the soundtrack was good, Dakota Johnson is a beauty, but these things can't save an entire movie. If you're interested in this worldwide phenomenon, but don't want to read an 500 page book then go see this, it's not unwatchable and not that awful as many say, but don't expect anything from it.
