I have been appalled by the way this movie is trashed both by the professional reviewers and by people on IMDb.

You might not like the movie, but to give it one out of ten is just a "haters" gesture. Like you had already decided to hate the movie in advance (or rated it without even seeing it like some here on IMDb even writes they have done!)

I really enjoyed the books, and maybe it will help a lot having read the books (and understood where Christian Grey is from in his upbringing), but still I cannot see how such a complete movie can be reviewed so bad by someone actually contemplating what they have just seen, fairly. A could understand a 4-5 for sure if you disliked the movie, but 1/10 is so clearly just because of hate for the genre and the success of the franchise.

The movie follows the book closely, and although the sex scenes do not take up much of the movie, there are plenty of them as must be expected. What they show is the kind of kinky sex described in the book, but without any explicit sex scenes, that has not already appeared in many other movies. But they show what that very important part of their relationship is, and that it is more than just "vanilla" sex, something not so often shown in other films.

But also the emotional scenes in the movies are very strong, especially when Christian again fears he will be loosing Anastasia and goes completely blank on the floor in front of her.

And there are plenty of action with a bad guy going after both of the main characters, a crazy ex-sub and Mrs. Robinson perfectly personified by Bassinger.

Maybe it is because I felt the reviews have been unfair, that I have given it a 10 rather than a 9? But I just had a great experience watching the movie in the cinema with my wife, and would have hated missing it because I had listened to the hateful reviews.

So if you enjoyed the books, then forget all these negative reviews and go watch a great movie. Can't wait for the last part next year. :-)

Having just watched Iñárritu previous and fantastic movie Birdman again, and knowing this film was nominated for 12 Oscars my expectations was very high, despite the fact that the trailer made the movie look boring. I thought it was just a bad trailer. But no; this long long movie is boring from start to finish, and when the movie ends I could not care less who lived or died, so even in the grand finale I did not really care how the movie ended. I'm so disappointed. I really hope it will not get any Oscars, and feel so sad that a great actor like DiCaprio probably receives an Oscar for a part, where most of his lines are grunts, instead of for one of the many great movies he has made prior to this one. But I guess he will win because he deserved to have an Oscar already, and this is how the Oscar often goes when great actors have been overlooked.

As I had read in other reviews on this page I felt that National Treasure was a good way to spend two hours, without demanding too much of you, but nevertheless giving you a happy feeling.

It is not a deep movie in any way, and neither tries to be. But it is fun, there is lots of action and there are riddles and plot turns etc.

If you liked Indiana Jones (and who doesn't?) then you will also be able to like this one. It is not as original, but it is a great update of the Indy adventures set in the pre WW2 area to our days. Cause you need a great idea to make a realistic adventure and treasure hunt in the present USA. And it works.

Go see it, and have a great time.
