While the anxious lot of movie goers will have to wait for a little less than a year before 'Fifty Shades of Grey' hits theaters just in time for Valentine's Day on February 13, 2015, a few lucky people gota preview of the year's most-hyped erotic flick as never-before-seen clips of E.L. James' S&M thriller turned movie was screened on CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Tuesday.

And if you though that this BDSM flick, starring Jamie Dornan as domineering billionaire Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as the virginal Anastasia Steele, was more focused on raunchiness than romance, here is the big dope (or shall we say disappointment!).

"Rather then [sic] fill the five-minute teaser with the sex that made the books by British author E L James so popular, the studio went against expectations and highlighted the romance between the two leads," Entertainment Weekly's Nicole Sperling writes. "But with the exception of a brief blindfold, a hand on a thigh and a glimpse of a riding crop, Mr. Grey's penchant for domineering sex was kept to a minimum."

And despite the producer Dana Brunetti's big plans to release a more hardcore NC-17 edition of the flick after the R-rated version storms the theaters, the initial preview seems more like PG (parental guidance).

"While the movie promises to be filled with all kinds of taboo carnal relations, what was shown in the clips was very PG-rated (they didn't even mention the word "sex.")," CinemaBlend's Eric Eisenberg details.

"Of course, there was plenty of innuendo and suggestion of Christian Grey's habits behind locked doors, but none of it was explicitly shown. The closest it came to showing anything even remotely R-rated was Ana tied to a bed with a blindfold on, but even that shot lasted only about half a second."

So, fans, one thing is assured, the film does have a lot of sex. But what about the chemistry between Johnson and Dornan? Is it really the kind of chemistry that could turn this movie into the next iconic romance?

"As for the actors, Johnson appears to play Anastasia's wide eyed perspective appropriately and certainly looks good with a reddish brown dyed hair," HitFix's Gregory Ellwood writes. "Jamie Doran is handsome and has that debonair thing down, but…whether the two of them have genuine chemistry remains to be seen."
