The Movie Fails To Deliver

Rating: 6/10 (26 June 2015)

Fifty Shades of Grey is an erotic movie about a college student and a young billionaire who enters a relationship that is characterized by sadomasochism.It was a film adaptation of the kinky novel of E.L. James' of the same title.
Well,a lot of critics and most of the movie going public particularly IMDb commenters have trashed the film.There are plenty of reasons to do so.It starts with what it wants to be all about:sadomasochistic sex.Too bad that the sex scenes are far from being realistic and one could find that the actors participating in it feel a lot of discomfort while doing it and their reactions look unnatural and unreal.Then,the story was lacking as we don't get to know much about Christian and Ana.
Also,they aren't compelling and interesting enough for the viewers to care about them.They also lack depth despite of the lunacy of the characterizations the movie wants them to portray.
In addition to that,story has become somewhat simplistic in the sense that the both Christian and Ana have entered their weird relationship without logical reasons except for the needs of the story with a sequel baiting conclusion that will leave everyone hanging and wondering as to what ultimately happened to both in the end.
Nevertheless,I gave this movie the guts to adapt the novel into the big screen knowing the expectations that will be laid upon by the public on the producers.Too bad that it did not translate very well in the big screen as it was done poorly and everything ended up funny and laughable without the intention of doing so.
