Positively surprised

Rating: 7/10 (22 February 2015)

It was hard (read impossible) to go see that movie with a positive expectation of it, for it seems the entire planet is on a mission to have this movie declared worst picture of the decade. But still I went, watched it until the end and left the movies positively surprised.
I don't understand why so much hate. Both actors come across very well. There are some beautiful city views, the movie is crammed with luxury settings and is overall aesthetically-pleasing. The large amount of nudity in the movie was to be expected. It was handled properly for I watched it without any discomfort at all.
It's no romance story. This picture is about sexual domination. I believe it was a slippery subject, it could have gone wrong in so many ways but they did it right. The script lacks some decent lines and the characters deserved a proper development, especially since they are only two, they could have done so much better on making them deeper and more intriguing.
The score was a bit of a let down. I disliked that they cut the only good song of the movie by The Weeknd. No other music was particularly appealing to my ears in this movie.
Final word, there is obviously a world-wide social phenomenon at work here which makes people hate the movie because so many others have hated it. It's not perfect but I would watch Fifty Shades of Grey again, to me the real sign that it had something. 7/10. If you haven't seen it, don't be a sheep, go see it with an open-mind and decide for yourself. I did just that today and stand against the crowd. It blows my mind that people go so hard against that movie.
If it makes any difference, I haven't read the books and I am a 23 year-old male, for the socio-anthropologists amongst us.
