... View Moren my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

... View More"Fifty Shades of Black" (2016) is an entertaining film. The story is a direct parody of "Fifty Shades of Grey" where college student, Hannah Steele played by Kali Hawk, falls for unorthodox billionaire, Christian Black played by Marlon Wayans, but his sexual practices put a strain on what could become a beautiful relationship. The story is there for what could have been a heavy dose of comedy, but it doesn't seem to mesh well as the film could have.The director, Michael Tiddes known for over the top comedies like "A Haunted House" (2013), stayed true the style of comedy. Ever comedic take had funny laced in the dialogue or visuals and then amplified to drive it home. Occasionally it was a bit much. The music that filled most of the film was very intertwining and relatively spot on but, there were a few lapses in the sound department. Some of the voice-overs missed the mark and took away from the film. Overall, it was just OK but, still an enjoyably film.
... View MoreCan a film cause physical pain? Fifty Shades of Black answers that question with a resounding, mind-shattering "yes". I now know what resuscitation feels like, since as soon as the credits appeared - and Marlon Wayans' face disappeared from the screen - I felt oxygen return to my brain and hope return to my soul. I think that this film actively killed my interest in not only parodies, but just comedy in general. I don't know if I can laugh again. Marlon Wayans took joy away from me. I had to embark on a quest to a Tibetan monastery to cleanse my soul of this filth. I remember when movies were an escape from the pain of real life. Now, they have become the nightmare.
... View MoreI honestly ducked this movie when it came out in theaters for while I find the Wayans family as a whole funny, I do feel when Kenan isn't there to reel his brothers in and hone their collective talents, they are all over the place. Yet it is hard to deny that even without Kenan at the head, the individual members of the Wayans family aren't funny. Problem is, the currently most visible Wayan, Marlon, is honestly in desperate need of someone who knows his talent and can refine it. Main Storyline (with Commentary)In probably one of the worse movies I have ever seen, yet finished, we watch as Hannah (Kali Hawk) for some reasons dates Christian Black (Marlon Wayans). This is despite him calling her ugly, basic, letting his friends insult her, him having no sex game, him being cheap, and his mother seeming kind of racist. But the story-line isn't why anyone would watch a comedic film starring Marlon Wayans, it is the laughs. Well, they are in short supply. For despite all the bondage things which could be mocked, as well as the weirdness of the 50 Shades of Grey lore, honestly what we are given is potty humor made for teenagers. We sway from just licking everything to jokes about penis sizes, Christian drops a whole bunch of pop culture jokes which aren't memorable, and ultimately you are left feeling that Marlon Wayans must be forced to release one comedy a year or else he is going to get sued. HighlightsI remember laughing once or twice. One time during a Kevin Hart joke, and I'm sure there was a second. Well, maybe there was.Low PointsTo begin, there is Kateesha (Jenny Zigrino) who is Hannah's roommate and seemingly her only friend. She is a ghetto white girl who is insufferable. I mean, she is a stereotypical big, multicolored haired, ghetto, fat white girl who loves her some big black penis. Which I'm sure is supposed to be a parody of someone, but I couldn't once find out what is supposed to be funny about her. If anything, I felt bad for the actress since I assume the embarrassment an actor would get from working in a minstrel show is what she got working in this movie. But hey, she got a check, right?Perhaps the big issue here is that along with there being a weak story, little to no chemistry between Wayans and Hawk, is that the jokes almost all flopped. To the point, I look at this movie like how some look at some musicians once they get up in age. There comes a point where you realize you only see their performances due to nostalgia and not because you think they still got it. Such is the case with Marlon Wayans. After all, who didn't laugh at the many movies he did with his brothers, as well as his TV show on the WB network? Yet here he is, still doing parodies, after it seems his brothers have moved on from the genre and he is still trying to pretend he is in his glory days. To me, I think he may have reached the point a lot of comedic actors have where it is time for him to perhaps move onto dramatic movies or start becoming a supporting character to help push future stars. Which isn't me saying he isn't funny period, for his interviews and stand-up remains comical, but like Eddie Murphy something just isn't working anymore and if he refuses to adapt, step his game up, or what have you, he is going to eventually lose that curiosity if he still has it to portray a comedic character, much less do a parody, on film.
... View MoreThis was my first movie at a new cinema in my town, and it was...nice. I really don't like Fifty Shades of Grey (the original one), but I enjoyed this parody, and man, it has some damn hot scenes, not a movie to see with your family because it's almost porn sometimes, in my opinion. The actors doesn't perform too well, it's that kind of comedy filled with stupidity sometimes, especially from Marlon Wayans who likes to behave like a child in some of his movies, but I think the man it's hilarious the e way he is. Well, I don't have something else to say about this movie, I've seen it almost half a year on 30 January when it first launched in Romania. As you can see, I'm a Romanian guy, and it's my first time when I review a title on IMDb, also I hope this review it's spoiler free, it's my first review, so be kind with me.
