Russell Wilson has had a solid career so far as an NFL quarterback but his career as a movie critic has gotten off to a rocky start.
The Seahawks quarterback went to see 50 Shades of Grey on Thursday night and by Friday morning, his review of the movie was in.
Thanks for the early showing of #50ShadesOfGrey late last night.. #EmeraldCity ?? ???? Great movie.

Wilson only used two words to actually review 50 Shades of Grey (Great movie), but apparently, that was enough to enrage half of his fan base.
Some fans seemed to be offended that Wilson -- who's very open about his religion -- went out and saw a movie that's basically a 110-minute 'How-to' guide on submissive sex.
@DangeRussWilson COME ON MAN!!! THAT MOVIE IS MORAL FILTH!!!

@krachunis @DangeRussWilson - The Bible pretty clear tells us "judge not that ye not be judged" Matthew 7:1-3. Without sin? John 8:7. Mirror

.@DangeRussWilson I'm more than a little confused, Russell. I thought you professed to be a Christian. And yes, I'm judgmental (John 7:24).

@benjhaisch @DangeRussWilson Really? I'm honestly not sure how you can quote bible verses all the time and then say this is a good movie...

.@DangeRussWilson Don't say you represent Christ, and the publicly endorse a moved filled with immorality and sexual violence.

There was also a faction of fans who were mad because Wilson saw a "bad" movie and liked it. No one wants to be a fan of someone who has bad taste in movies.
@DangeRussWilson saying it was a good movie is sick and wrong.

@DangeRussWilson man why support that garbage?

@DangeRussWilson #lies not a great movie

These people aren't alone in calling 50 Shades of Grey a bad movie. It's currently holding steady with a 27 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
Anyway, there was also at least one fan who thinks that maybe Wilson should lose his endorsements.
@DangeRussWilson I hope your contract has endorsement restrictions because endorsements seem to be contradicting your ethics. #passthepeace

And then there was this guy who had this theory.
@dangerusswilson hacked???
— Karmen Blake (@kblake) February 13, 2015
However, we know the "hacked" theory is wrong because Wilson got back on Twitter later Friday and defended his decision to see the movie.
Saw a movie filmed in the town I call home. Provocative/disturbing no doubt but that does not make me less Faithful. Have a blessed day! ?

Bad tweet Russ. BECAUSE 50 SHADES WASN'T EVEN FILMED IN SEATTLE, at least according to the guy below and E! News.
@DangeRussWilson it was filmed in Vancouver with only a few days in Seattle for establishing shots.

The moral of the story: If you're an NFL quarterback, do not see a movie. Ever. Unless it's Scarface. Scarface is OK.
Now on a more serious & lighter note... #ScarFace is an all time ultimate classic! "She's a tiger..." ???
