Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)

Not as horrible as I thought but still lame. At some points I had to laugh so hard because the cheap Twilight copy was so obvious (& I laughed even harder when I found out this is indeed based on Twilight fanfiction, I thought I was just making a good joke lol) I now imagine the author of this sitting on her desk like "How can I obsess about Twilight without people judging me because I am an adult? Let me just turn the glittery vampire into a creepy SM guy so than it is meant for grown-ups. Bingo!" I kinda like the main actress though. But still

Well, Western civilization did not fall because of the film Fifty Shades of Grey. No, it is not the greatest movie ever, but I will say that it is a damn sexy movie.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good an actress Dakota Johnson turned out to be in the role of Anna. When I heard about the casting, she didn't seem like she'd be up to the role, but she was really good. Jamie Dornan I admired for Once Upon a Time but didn't know much about him. He was good, but Dakota was the standout. I liked how mousy lines in the book had a little teasing tone and glint in her eye. She had more personality than the dishrag Anna did in the book.

The film is limited by the R rating. My two female friends and I commented afterwards about all the things cut from the book -- namely Anna's joy at giving Christian a blowjob!

While trying to shock mainstream audiences with the bondage/toy room, they had to water down the sex. I mean really, why does the MPAA make a female orgasm or oral sex on a woman necessarily NC-17? There's a LOT of female nudity in this film, but only hints of male nudity.

The film ends abruptly just as the first book did. Given the monetary success of the opening weekend, the fimmakers will be more than ready to cash in on films two and three.

for thesex scene rip off of twilight which was already shit. #guiltyPleasure bondage
It was less terrible than I feared, but still fell well short of being good.
