Frustrated movie critics want MORE sex in Fifty Shades of Grey as flaccid flick [truncated]
UK Daily Mail ^ | February 11, 2015 | Kieran Corcoran and Olivia Foster

It may have been touted as the steamiest thing in Hollywood - but movie critics rounded on Fifty Shades of Grey for being too light on the sex. In a barrage of reviews published on Tuesday night, most of those who sat down with the raunchy adaptation ahead of its 13 February release date lamented its 'run-of-the-mill' lovemaking. One critic pointed out that sex only makes up 15 minutes of the two-hour runtime. Another pointed out that there are no visible genitals, no orgasms - and not that much nudity.

I bet Charlie Hunnam is glad he passed on the lead for this. Sounds like it’s a big bust....no pun intended.

I’ve always been amazed that people rent “unrated” versions of R rated comedies. I always think, just rent some “pr0n” and be done with it.

It’s best to avoid both, of course.

If they want the “raunchy stuff” they are going t need to visit that icky place with “private booths”.

So maybe the movie is worth seeing? I don’t enjoy movies that leave nothing to the imagination.

Those of us who grew up listening to stories on the radio, such as “The Shadow, “ know that the imagination is always more vivid than seeing a picture. The TV generations that followed never experienced the full development of their imagination.

i.e. 1/8th of the movie. Do I want to know what percentage of the book is devoted to sex? Probably not.

Earth to critics, just type in “bigboobs.com” in your browser and enjoy your p**n.

And let the rest of us watch movies worth watching, such as “American Sniper”.

Truth be told, the frustrated critics probably wanted more sx in American Sniper as well.

And I heard a commercial for the ‘50 shades of grey’ teddy bear for guys to buy for their girlfriends/wives.

I wonder when the hair color folks will come out with a campaign: “Free your hair from the chains of its 50 shades of grey. Buy colouro hair coloring.”

I assume that's a rhetorical question. They pretty much always do that -- and it's pretty much always a trivial modification (e.g. a couple of blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments where one of the actresses shows up topless instead of in a bikini) marketed as if it were hard-core porn.

As long as hormonal teenage boys fall for it, they'll keep doing it.

If Charlie Hunnam was in it I might have thought about seeing it. ;)

That stuff -- is not what turns women on.

***I wonder if there will an unrated Director’s Cut for the DVD***

You mean, like CALIGULA(XXX) and CALIGULA “lite” (R)?
