Pretty bad, pretty boring

Rating: 1/10 (23 February 2015)

Well... I saw this movie to discover what was so appealing in it that everyone was talking about it whether they've seen it or not, whether they've read the books or not. One of my friends - after she read the book - told me: I fall in love again, referring to Mr. Grey. So, yes, I was curious.
Anyway, it was very disappointing. It was not about romance or even about sex - as everyone says - it's about controlling a person - Anastasia -, controlling every detail, every aspect of her life, even sex... and also telling her in many different ways that he wants to hurt her.
The movie is bad. Boring, too long, no chemistry between the actors... The story is OK (so so). At least Anastasia is not as submissive as Grey wants but she tolerates a manipulative,jealous, controlling and abusive guy just because she wants him to love her... Sorry girl, that's no love.
Leaving sex apart,it seems to be an apology for domestic violence with all those rewards and punishments.... and all those excuses for his behavior because he is a complex, traumatize man who has shades... No woman should tolerate a man like Mr Grey and, actually, it worries me that so many women have fallen "in love again", as my friend.
I said before "sex a part" because I'm not judging neither it nor the practices the character have, that belongs to the intimacy in a couple but yet I judge the model of man that is making women crazy about in a time when so many is made to combat gender and domestic violence.
