Well what can I say? I attempted to read the novel a couple of years back and gave up about a third of the way through. The novel was just so silly, irritating and badly written. For those who don't know, a young handsome billionaire, Christian Grey, is drawn to a university student and he seeks a sexual domination/submissive relationship with her, bound by contract. The book was written from the student's point of view.
Could a good film be made of 'Fifty Shades of Grey'? Maybe, but this isn't it. The story is just as silly on the screen. Actually the story is boring. Grey (Jamie Dornan) is distant and unappealing. The abrupt ending - designed presumably to link seamlessly with a sequel - is unsatisfying except as a blessed relief from the nonsense preceding it.
They got the greyness right.
