50 shades of nonsense

Rating: 4/10 (3 December 2015)

If I were an actor and my movie was as hyped as this one, I would be very worried. However, this is apparently a box office success; with a sequel in the pipeline! I have only watched this recently and am totally bewildered at how I hear many people (mainly ladies) rave over the movie. Guess that's because I'm from Mars .... Just to take a step back a bit, I didn't actually watch the whole movie; unless you consider watching less than 20 minutes as having watched it. The reason is simply, it was just too much of a torture. Jamie Dornan's character tries too hard to be cool and that is not just uncool but nauseating. But to top that, Dakota Johnson's Anastasia actually falls for it - nausea to the power of 10. This supposedly highly intelligent lady conducts an interview without doing any research on the person she's interviewing and she doesn't understand the stupid questions that she is asking until she has read them out!!??
