The movies might be a quadrilogy now from the looks of it, compared to the books. But my friends love these two movies so far, and think they are great.
But I don't get the big deal really. I think that the couple, has way too many compatibility differences, to the point where you think they wouldn't even be that interested in each other, and just both go off and find better suited partners.
And the movies try to advertise themselves as these big budget soft-core porn movies, but the actual eroticism elements in them, as well as the sexual content, is not even that good, cause the movies are afraid of getting an NC-17 rating perhaps? Not sure if they would since the MPAA still wants to bring in business, but the movies are not really pushing the envelop either, as well as having a couple you cannot root or support getting together.
Some movie critics who dislike it, have pointed out who Anastasia Steel is such a weak character, for taking all of Christian Grey's crap that he feeds her. And all of my friends who love this movie (which is quite a few), are all the women in my circle of friends. The guys actually were not impressed by the movie at all, like I wasn't.
And since the book was written by a woman who said she wrote a Twilight fan-fiction, that is also about a weak female character, who critics have pointed out, I am wondering, are do women prefer weak female characters in fiction compared to men?
It seems that female authors have no problem writing about them as protagonists, and a lot more women seem to like the movies compared to men. But I am only going by the stats where I live, from the people I know.
