The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Blistering performances.

What a waste of time this was - not just for me, the viewer, but for everyone involved. Honestly if you want to watch a dark and faintly steamy movie, just watch Twilight like all the other emo teens - it's also set in Seattle. This movie did get my heart rate up at times- not from being excited or turned on, no. It was bc of pure anger.***The point that got me FUMING was when, the night of being sexually assaulted at work, Ana's sipping wine in a cuddly bathrobe, not at all distressed or worried about what happened/her job LIKE WOMEN IN REAL LIFE WOULD. (she mentions wanting to work, breezily) How disrespectful of the writers/directors to all the women out there who've been through this and all the girls out there who one day will experience it. In the real world, WOMEN deal with $h!t, not their unicorn boyfriends - (who, for the record, stalked and pursued Ana AGAINST HER WILL until she was like 'fine ok'). It's one thing to be Hollywood-fairytale-esque, another to be offensive to all women who have to deal with patriarchal BS like sexual assault at work (often by themselves) and move on with their lives. #TimesUp

Not the worst film I have seen recently but it's up there.

Why such hate for these films - i think they are perfectly erotic and the sex scenes are thrilling .... definitely a guilty pleasure!!!

I don't even know where to begin with this monstrosity. The script and plots are written and thrown together in such a way that it seems like someone read the book and tried to write down some of those events for the script. Then they expected that you must have also read the book also so it will make sense to you. Newsflash. This movie is so poorly written and thrown together you won't have the first clue. The events are so far fetched when they a thrown in there that you can't being to take them seriously. Let's start with Christian Grey himself. He's supposedly around 21 and a billionaire. Even without talking, he doesn't even begin to be oozing power or importance when he walks into a room. And 21? I don't think so. Then we have Anastasia who is very unattractive and plain. Yet her boss corners her because he is just wanting to have sex with her "so bad." If that wasn't enough they have the boss saying very cringy comments like, "I can make you *** better than your bf can." LOL It was like something from a bad porn. Then she goes home and Christian has him fired. That's the end of it. All within a span of a minute. No build up to the event and not acknowledgement when a solution was found. Very insignificant presentation. If the writers didn't care that much about the event why should we?Then this weird chic breaks into her apartment who is Christian's ex. Again this scene only lasts a minute. No importance no real point other than it's just another event thrown in to take up some time. This events supposedly take place same day. lol Not buying it. Then Christian's helicopter goes down. Suddenly they are at his apartment worried and it's already on the news. After 30 seconds they announce he has been found and he walks into the door. Again this entire scene of events is a minute or two a most. In between all this you have some cringy sex scenes and some of the worst acting I've ever seen. Please at least make sure the actors have chemistry before putting them to bed together. It's awful. And yes I've seen tons of B movies. Was the director even there during filming? Even Kim Basinger's acting was horrendous like they did it all in one quick take without knowing the lines beforehand. It's just a bunch of B- acting, no chemistry characters, and random, unbelievable, and pointless events thrown together. I guess the real point is supposed to be their awkward relationship, but there is no dialogue really to support that only some bad sex scenes. The last movie started with him claiming he didn't want a relationship and then suddenly in this one he's changed his mind overnight with no hints, no warning, no dialogue? I've just never in all of my life seen something so random and cringy
