| BET.comClay CaneThe movie is simply a profitable pop culture movement with the only good thing coming out of it is Beyoncé's remix of 'Crazy in Love.' |
| Linoleum KnifeAlonso DuraldeLess interested in sexual power dynamics than in lassoing this guy into what the movie perceives as "normalcy." |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfAn Ambien pill...While a follow-up is likely, it's a bit presumptuous, and if it's anything like the first installment, it's about as welcome as a splintered paddle. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkFifty Shades of Grey may be the first film in history made specifically for the purposes of hate-watching. |
| Eclipse MagazineMichelle AlexandriaMy mind screams Noooooooo! This movie sucks and is offensive on so many different levels, but damn my lady parts....Jamie Dornan's abs beat me into submission. Every time I think about them any common sense I have goes out the window. |
| Las Vegas Review-JournalChristopher LawrenceFifty Shades isn't ha-ha cheesy fun. It isn't tee-hee quasi-dirty fun. It's terrible. On almost every level. |
| honeycuttshollywood.comKirk HoneycuttWhile the movie talks dirty, what materializes on the screen is soft focus and barely soft core. |
| AV ClubKatie RifeLeads Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, both of whom spend the majority of the film supposedly desperately longing for each other, have so little chemistry that it gives the sexy goings-on a rather clinical feel. |
| Showbiz JunkiesRebecca MurrayIt needed to take the plunge, strengthen the sexual moments, and submit to the book's "mommy porn" reputation. Instead, it played it too safe. |
| VogueJohn PowersThen the lights went down, and guess what? Fifty Shades of Grey turned out to be not just entertaining-at least until the clunky, exasperating final minute-but it also knows exactly what it's doing. |
