The Musical is *much* better.

The movie has wasted the parody value of the book.

Why can't ppl just bone hoes and forget about this crap?
I like parodies. 50SoG is one of the most parodiable stories in recent history.

It absolutely fails as porn.
Fifty Shades without Inner Goddess is like The Bible without Jesus.

Isn't this really just a re-boot on "9 & 1/2 Weeks" with Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke?
Same basic business-y type and a naive younger gal hookup because she's intrigued by some douchebag's arc-ing career trajectory and then, doing S&M and fetish stuff, making it look 'ooh aah', sex can be kinky and soo wrong!
Oh pleaz ... this was already done a generation ago. And then, a generation even before that in "Last Tango In Paris" with a sloven Marlon Brando.

He didn't hang her upside down and subject her to multiple facial erection floggings? What an S&M disgrace.
If she couldn't walk around on her hands with her feet behind her head begging for savage coitus, AF would never approve.

I wanted to see some good porn. I guess not.
Yeah, I'm sure that this movie is too tasteful for me.
It sucks!
The book is not a great work of literature. However, it has good entertainment value. The movie took away all interesting bits and substituted them with bland, sub-par acting.
Imagine this. Fifty Shades of Grey with *none* of the followings:
1. Inner Goddess (or metaphors in general)
2. Crap, Double Crap, Holy Crap
3. Head-cocking
4. "steel encased in velvet" / "Christian Grey-flavored popsicle"
Sometimes, an NC-17 story calls for an NC-17 movie. Why gut the plot to keep it R-rated? Horny housewives will watch it anyway.
