It's well made I have to give them credit for that but it gets ridiculous when it gets going. The Room was worse

Rating: 4/10 (27 November 2015)

I have not read the book lets just get that out of the way now, but when a film gets this kind of hype regardless of whether it is positive or not. It is only a matter of time before I watch it and this was no exception. I might not have read the book but I am aware of how poorly written everyone says it is and how "stupid" they also say the dialogue is. It is because of this, the first 40 minutes while not exactly brilliant were rather surprising.
For the most part at the start the title characters almost feel like regular people. That is not to say that it wasn't cheesy at times but I did find myself laughing at parts that where likely intended to be funny. Although there was still a sign of what was to come with the famous hardware store scene (seriously a billionaire couldn't afford to get a proxy to do it? or to buy a lot more stuff to make it less obvious?)But when we finally start to get into the parts the book is famous for, that is where as you could imagine it starts to go down hill. From there it gets silly, laughable and while their dialogue doesn't sound as bad as say they it was in the book it still is hard not to find it cringe worthy.
Now I would like to think despite having fairly low expectations of this film I did my best to go in with as open minded as possible. I have seen other films whether they were as famous or lesser known than Fifty Shades of Grey and I had not always received them positively. In fact the 1996 film Crash (not to be confused with the 2004 Oscar winner) still remains one of the worst films of all time. But at least this film was actually not as graphic and still had something of what I could consider to be a obvious plot. I have also seen The Room, what many consider to be the worst film of all time and that was actually worse than this.
But what makes it earn the extra points out of ten for me is the fact that it is well made. Even at its worst everything on screen looked amazing and the score was pretty good. Unlike many poorly rated films on here you could tell they knew what they were doing behind the scenes. And not all of the so called worst films of all time that I have seen could claim that.
But I guess still it is purely for the fans of the book. I know I probably won't be rushing to see Fifty Shades Darker when that comes out that's for sure.
