Surprisingly, was not as bad as I anticipated.

Rating: 5/10 (15 February 2015)

Fifty Shades of Grey was a film that was looked down upon very heavily by movie critics and journals all around the country. Right from the get-go, when the film was announced, people who had read the psycho-erotic book about the man who tortures women for pleasure all knew that revamping the book into a film was going to be a horrendous idea.
The film got very cheesy and boring at times (especially with all the times Christian mentioned that he had to "go back to Seattle" because he was confused, or move to some other place because he is a "monster" and is incapable of love, and other loads of crap), as well as a bunch of other cringe worthy scenes, like the first time he took off his shirt and randomly leaned in and took a bite of Anastasia's piece of toast. Like can someone please explain to me why(?)...
But with that being said, the film was actually very suspenseful and aroused curiosity heavily many times throughout. The acting was looked down upon by all critics everywhere, and to be completely honest, it wasn't actually that bad. The plot was the one thing that was a bit repetitive and "back and forth", but in the end, it was a very interesting story about a man who had a very rough childhood and let his past grow on him into adulthood, making him the quote-on-quote "monster" that he is. Not to mention all of the deep erotica scenes were portrayed very well. It was definitely way further from any sort of BDSM pornography I've ever seen, but still managed to show how much of a sexually obsessed monster Christian was. In my opinion the film deserved a 5 on 10 because, much like The Interview (getting a 9 rating in the first 3 weeks of it's release because of biased reviewers), this film needs to be evaluated at a personal standpoint because everyone has different taste in these types of "unique" and sort of contrasting types of films. Also make sure you go watch this movie in a packed theater because your experience will be much more enjoyable if everyone is watching it with you right by your side.
