The biggest paradox in movie history

Rating: 1/10 (26 February 2015)

Let's start with the fact that this is probably the biggest box office hit. And then add the fact that no matter how many people paid to watch this, it still has a rating of 4,2 here. And then add the fact that 4,2 out of 10 is extremely overrated for this... whatever it is, but it isn't film, since film is art.
I don't know who wrote the screenplay and I'm not even willing to read that much into the crew list, but it was horrendous! Read the books and even though they were written in an exceptionally low class way, I still enjoyed the first one - second and third were a complete pack of bull, containing the same words and lines all over again. This however, even though it kept so close to the book's storyline, was as if my 13 years-old niece had a sudden infantile hormone rush - naive, boring, immature.
The cast was ... no words. Bad acting, bad acting, bad acting. I feel sorry for Jennifer Ehle and Marcia Gay Harden, whom I completely adore, but I just guess that even the greatest of talent can't pull such a BS up - it's a mission impossible.
The director must be brain-damaged, or at least he left me so after seeing this. It looked like a really bad and cheap melodrama - something that would be aired on a very unpopular TV network, to fill the gap at 2 pm, when everyone is taking an afternoon nap.
Who was the editor?! Does that person have Taurette syndrome*?! There was this strange jumping from scene to scene, cut here - paste there, as if he and the director were on some serious drugs! It's like the editor had no idea what he was doing, having an involuntary reaction of his muscles to line up certain scenes. Or maybe it was a kid who did this, or maybe they used Icq to do it...
The plot was definitely something I would like to discuss. I know I've said I liked the first book, and it really didn't look this bad when I imagined it rolling in my head, as I was reading it. But what was the idea with the entire concept of a timid girl, that has to get a crazy rich dude, who's actually a sadistic nutjob, and tame him?! That guy was bad news since the moment they met, with the entire obsession he rushed into tracking her down and sticking up to her behind. Then, we get to the point, where she's practically begging him to beat the hell out of her, which ends up being 6 hits with a whip on her butt, and she then decides he's the worst guy ever and cries her eyes out?! What's wrong with you, girl? You didn't have enough brain to think this through and now it's his fault for being invited to smear your make-up? Not to mention the speed this entire thing evolved since the beginning...
I wonder if I write a bad fanfic of this low-standard piece of literature/motion picture, would it become a bestseller and a box office hit?
It's not that I want my money back, as much as I want those 2 hours of my life back. That was such a waste... To be honest, I'd give it a 0 if I had that option, but let's say I'm giving a 1 for the effort and work of the entire crew - they still had their time devoted, even if the result was such a disappointment. Why did I watch it? Curiosity. Curiosity killed the cat. It killed me too.
*No offense on people with Taurette syndrome - just using it as a metaphor.
