An average movie

I wasn't expecting much from this flick but I have to admit that I was curious to see if it really deserved its terrible reputation. Well, to be honest, even if it was pretty weak, I don't think it was so bad. The main issue remains that, even though Dakota Johnson was a perfect choice for this role, Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey were still such a boring couple. At least, this time around, Grey finally figured out that he had to leave behind his preferred lifestyle if he wanted to be with the love of his life and it made their relationship so much healthier than in the previous movie. However, as a result, there was basically no conflict whatsoever to solve and, since there was not really a plot either, well, nothing much really happened through the whole duration. Finally, the most disappointing thing was probably the fact that, even though this movie was sold as a supposedly kinky sexy affair, it turned out to be incredibly tame after all. Sure, Dakota Johnson was often topless but there was no frontal nudity from either of them. In fact, the sex scenes were short, not really kinky whatsoever and very often with way too many clothes involved. Finally, I thought it was supposed to be about SM but there were in fact only 3 really soft scenes which seemed to me to be more some playful sex than some actual SM. Anyway, to conclude, I can't say I was really disappointed since I had such low expectations but there is no denying that this franchise wasted a great opportunity to properly introduce SM practices to the mainstream audience.
