Fifty shades of boredom

Rating: 2/10 (12 February 2015)

Please keep in mind, I have read the books. That's not to say I liked them, I actually struggled to get through the poor writing ability of the author and the incessant use of the same adjectives over and over like there wasn't a thesaurus handy.
Now, I just returned from seeing this in the theater and I must say that I wish I had waited until it was out on cable. I thought I'd give them a chance to spruce up the books a bit, but that did not happen. I was bored after about 30 minutes into it and thought of leaving halfway through.
The acting was OK, but then again both stars worked with what they were given...which was not a lot of dialogue to start with. I wouldn't hang my hat on either of them. The set design was good for the most part and stayed close to the books as far as colors and layout. Other than that, there's really not a lot of positive review for this. It felt like I was watching a bad soap opera.
