Storyline

When Anastasia Steele, a literature student, goes to interview the wealthy Christian Grey as a favor to her roommate Kate Kavanagh, she encounters a beautiful, brilliant and intimidating man. The innocent and naive Ana starts to realize she wants him. Despite his enigmatic reserve and advice, she finds herself desperate to get close to him. Not able to resist Ana's beauty and independent spirit, Christian Grey admits he wants her too, but on his own terms. Ana hesitates as she discovers the singular tastes of Christian Grey - despite the embellishments of success, his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, and his loving family, Grey is consumed by the need to control everything.Written by MischaLeCroix

Fifty Shades of Grey Movie Reviews

First off the leads are just terrible. Worst picks possible. Plain as day and THE worst actors. No wonder wring leads were chosen. Look at the sorry excuse for "producers" chosen, the author became an egotistical sellout and director and screenwriter don't know what they are doing. Luke Grimes as Elliott & Rita Ora as Mia were also horribly miscast. The two "leads" acting are so atrocious it turned this into a comedy. They have no sex appeal and zero chemistry. It's like seeing two dry pieces of wood put together and forced to be romantic. Dornan's acting and delivery of lines is so horrid it makes me cringe. Dakota's attempts at trying to be sexy and vulnerable fall way flat. This needed to be put into better hands. People who could have taken a poorly written book and actually made something better out if it. Even though book is just corny erotic Twilight fan fiction, i mean, the "author" did not even bother to hide it. Each character is a clear and direct rip off if every Twilight character. Terrible in every way. The soundtrack is only good thing about this and you don't even have to like books or crap film to love it. I recommend buy the soundtrack and don't waste your money on this waste of film. The only ones who will watch and only ones who will give thumbs down are psycho cult fans. Ones who still live in parent's basements. And would not know good literature or a good love story if it were in their face. Books are crap and world don't need sequels. One turd is enough.
