Understandable Bad and Good

Rating: 6/10 (28 January 2017)

So before i actually review this I must say one major thing: I skipped through all the sex scenes, and there were a lot of them. Now apart from that I understand wholly why a lot of people dislike this movie. The soft-core sex scenes were excessive, unrealistic, and lacking of actual chemistry between the main characters Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. But like I said earlier, I merely skipped those scenes. So what's left is the true story-line of a billionaire man who was taken advantage of as a naive child and has no other was to express himself than through the same form of "pleasure" he is accustom to in the first place. The reaction and depths of both Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele is more than what is focused on in the movie. The struggle Anna has to understand the horror of Christian's life and past is quite memorizing. It is a true challenge to understand the trauma that occurs in a past like Christian's; let alone try to understand his trauma through the same "torture" or "pleasure" the he himself had to grow accustom too. I was sincerely surprised by the past that Christian Grey had; my thoughts coming into this movie were primarily that it was another sex-addict's happy movie and that I would eventually add this movie to the list of disappointing movies I've watched, however, I am pleased by the background that is provided through the movie. My main issue with the movie (aside from excessive sex scenes) is that the ending was so abrupt and lacking that I was more mad by that part than intrigued by the movie. I will happily wait though from Fifty Shades Darker to come this February to see where this leads.
