"Fifty Shades of Grey' has released with a strong showing at the box office, ranking No. 1 and earning $81.7 million, according to Box Office Mojo.

Although the movie has done well commercially, it doesn't seem to have gone down well with the critics. The responses range from mellow appreciation to blatant disregard of the content and the cinematography of the movie.

Some of the feminists have lashed out at the film for portraying the manipulative and abusive nature of men with women. They have outright criticized the manner in which the lead character, Anastasia Steele, played by Dakota Johnson, is subjected to sexual humiliation. The main concern of the feminists seems to be the point where Christian Grey tries to kill Steele's identity and her personality, despite her attempts to maintain one.

The National Review, which titled the review as "Creep Meets Girl,' went on to say, "Needless to say, there are easier routes to marital bliss, and they never involve anyone like Christian Grey, who gives the patriarchy a bad name."

The New Yorker called the movie "the "Downton Abbey' of bondage, designed neither to menace nor to offend but purely to cosset the fatigued imagination. You get dirtier talk in most action movies, and more genitalia in a TED talk on Renaissance sculpture." Now that's sheer insult to a movie that was deemed to be the erotic movie of the year.

Not just feminists, but some politicians have concerns with the content of the movie. Manitoba Conservative MP Joy Smith has said that the movie glamorizes violence against women and that behavior in the movie resembles techniques used in human trafficking. She has urged Manitobans to boycott the film, according to CBC.

What other reactions the movie will receive, only time will tell.
