Critics Consensus

While creatively better endowed than its print counterpart, Fifty Shades of Grey is a less than satisfying experience on the screen.

Jason Bailey Flavorwire I wish it had either been much better or much worse. May 28, 2016 Full Review Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal Fifty Shades of Grey delivers, however ponderously, on its promise of pop transgressiveness. Dec 30, 2015 Full Review Alex Abad-Santos Vox This alien quality is what makes Dornan so effective as Christian. Rated: 3/5 Oct 14, 2015 Full Review Rita Di Santo Daily Mirror (UK) As dodgy, ludicrous and funny, as the film might be, as a public spectacle it’s probably not as embarrassing as being seen reading the book Rated: 3/5 Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Here's a film that is offensive only in how inoffensive it proves to be. Rated: 1/4 Jul 11, 2022 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Feels like an elegantly made - the cinematography and score are top notch - night time soap opera.

carmen M I love this movie. I read the books. I honestly pictured the Mail character to be different but he wasn’t disappointing. I enjoyed for just like the book. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Ryan H Read the book. Then don’t read any of the others. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review james c fandango is the worst possible company I've ever dealt with. fandango really sucks. I will be deleting my fandango app. never use this junk app. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/02/22 Full Review Audience Member At first I just wanted to watch this seemingly disgusting movie as a way to truly see just how horrible it is. I have to say it was worse than I had imagined. The plot covers a billionaire who meets a totally random college student who interviewed him and they share some “chemistry” which leads to eventual wierd sexual escapades. I have to say plot point number one id like to address is how absurd does that sound, a totally out of nowhere college girl who is just so random to me, which I do not think has any sexual appeal at all gets attached to a billionaire in two days… and the billionaire somehow is also into her? Wow. It’s honestly pretty self explanatory why the plot evidently sucks. point no 2 that’s id like to address is the chemistry between Ana and christian, to put it simply, it’s barely there. The atmosphere when these two main characters interact just seem tense and awkward and do not have an atmosphere I’d usually like to see between to lovers. I get it, it’s a “mature” movie but that doesn’t mean the characters shouldn’t have any chemistry. point no 3 not exactly a point but I’d just like to say that it is nothing short of a porn movie. The two characters are ugly and idiots and nobody in this movie can act. It’s all sex and wierd drama that is basically the equivalent of a pornography. No 4 it’s so wierd, it’s just so wierd. Anna’s a virgin college student. That’s so wierd Ps : the only reason it’s half a star is because I can’t rate a 0 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review Alya N everyone says it cheesy but i love the plot Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review Audience Member I did not read the book, but I thought why not watching the movie, as it would be less tedious that reading a 400 or 500 pages book of erotism. As a man, I was quite shocked that the main actress looks kind of disgusting. No beauty, no feminine shape, no class in behaviour. Just a random girl who get suddenly spoiled way more than she deserves, for no reason. I presume that's the point of the movie : to make feel that any woman can identify to this actress because she is totally random and no talent whatsoever about anything, so nothing makes her apart. But that is a very weak choice as most woman will not identify to her and most men will want to vomit if they identify to Mr Grey and see that he is so after her. Also, one major mistake is to show someone who is supposed to be so dominant as someone weak, desperate and hopeless to get the girl. He certainly have thousands of better choices that this wooden plank. The only good points are the main actor, good sceneries and the soundtrack. Those are nice, but it's a bit of a stretch to rely on for a full trilogy. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
