Quite forgettable!

Rating: 4/10 (21 March 2015)

Those who have read the book don't go for the movie, those who have watched the movie don't go for the book. Yes, this is what a book adaptation most of the times results in and, Fifty shades is no different. What's disappointing is the reluctance to tread even an inch off of the already laid path. This is where direction kicks in, this where "how-differently-can-it-be-done" kicks in. Making movies based upon books has always been a challenging task for every film maker but, this Fifty Shades Of Grey doesn't appear to have been a challenging task at all. It moves at a set pace throughout its running length, leaving no chance for its audience to not check their cell phones while watching the movie, and whispering around. If the movie's titled "Fifty Shades Of Grey," it should've been all about those shades only and not a love story basically. It seemed nothing, nothing but a love story that the audience absolutely would not have gone to theatres for. I can't help but compare the characters with the book and, the characters lacked intensity in the movie I must say. So, if this title has really got you spurred and if you haven't watched the movie yet, better spend your time reading those 356 pages (the read's a delight) rather than killing your curiosity in a couple of hours and end up saying...."yeah that was ummm...a fine movie." This movie got people from all over the world anticipated, it should've been something SPECTACULAR, not just fine.
