Kiwi fans react to Fifty Shades of Grey

Kiwi fans got their first look at the much-hyped Fifty Shades of Grey film this week, when ZM hosted the New Zealand premiere on Wednesday night.

But those expecting a pornographic sleazefest, were left disappointed. General consensus after the screening was that it wasn't as hardcore as many had expected.

As one viewer said: "I thought it would be a lot more porny."

Others were underwhelmed by the action, saying it wasn't awkward to watch, "but if I was with family or my parents, then yes".

But some were pleasantly surprised by the experience saying it was better than expected.

Watch their reaction here.
