Fifty Shades of Grey | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Jason Bailey Flavorwire I wish it had either been much better or much worse. May 28, 2016 Full Review Fifty Shades of Grey | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal Fifty Shades of Grey delivers, however ponderously, on its promise of pop transgressiveness. Dec 30, 2015 Full Review Fifty Shades of Grey | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Alex Abad-Santos Vox This alien quality is what makes Dornan so effective as Christian. Rated: 3/5 Oct 14, 2015 Full Review Fifty Shades of Grey | Rotten Tomatoes (4) 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 Fifty Shades of Grey | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Feels like an elegantly made - the cinematography and score are top notch - night time soap opera. Rated: 2/5 Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Fifty Shades of Grey | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Mike Massie Gone With The Twins At least, the film goes out of the way to show the use of condoms.

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 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/02/22 Full Review Erin D After reading the book there should be more of a power struggle with both of the main characters. I feel like Dakota played the part well, however Jamie seemed a lot softer than the Christian in the book, also the movie has really cut short the amount of sexual tension between them, pg ed it up. Feeling like Jamie wasn't really right for the part. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Jase C this movie is the worst movie i have ever seen.... the plot was great, but the people who wrote the script did NOT and i mean NOT make sure that the people who spent 2 hours of their lives to watch this movie would enjoy the horrible ending it had. -1/10 i would never EVER suggest someone to watch this gross film ever in my life (i miss my ex) Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review Eun P Satisfactory without being special. Wasn't ever going to live up to the books but nice enough to pass the time away with. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/04/24 Full Review Jesus C Perfect movie for kids Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review EllaJo r For a movie that make so much money how did it get this low of ratings? All my friends loved this silly movie, yet Google won't let me leave a review.. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
