Early bad reviews did not dissuade fans of E.L. James' 2011 bestseller, "Fifty Shades of Grey," from seeing the movie adaptation on the big screen. Despite the success that the movie has gotten - it has made over $500 million in global sales - many people are just not fans of the raunchy, BDSM romance.

Here are the top five celebrities who will not be waiting in line to watch the sequel, "Fifty Shades Darker."

1. Kristen Stewart

Actress Kristen Stewart, known for her roles in the "Twilight Sage" and "Still Alice," has spoken out against the book series as well as the movie.

The 24-year-old previously stated, "I've skimmed parts of it. When I read the first few pages describing her messy hair, I was like, 'This is so strange.' But it's just so raunchy! I mean, obviously, everyone knows that. But when I see people reading it on planes and stuff, I'm genuinely creeped out. Like, you're basically just reading porn right now! Get that blanket off your lap!"

2. Armie Hammer

Armie Hammer, who played the Winklevoss twins in "The Social Network," reportedly hates the movie. When rumors surfaced that he was considering taking the role as billionaire Christian Grey, Hammer, 28, immediately denied them.

"My agent brought it up and I said, 'Nope.' I mean, come on - it's just mommy porn. I'm not going to sit on top of the laundry machine in spin cycle reading about putting a ball gag in someone's mouth. That doesn't do it for me," he said.

3. Stephen Amell

"Arrow" actor, Stephen Amell has also shot down rumors that he would consider playing Mr. Grey. Amell, who is widely known as Oliver Queen on the hit CW superhero TV series, stated that Mr. Grey's character is not interesting enough.

"I didn't find his character to be totally redeeming. And I actually didn't find him to be that interesting. This is not a criticism on this particular piece of literature. This is simply, you know, I like to play roles that I find interesting. Nothing about Christian Grey really spoke to me," Amell, 33, said.

4. Kim Cattrall

Kim Cattrall, who is not shy about acting out sex scenes as Samantha Jones on "Sex in the City," is not a fan of "Fifty Shades of Grey" as well as the movie's lead actor, Jamie Dornan who plays Mr. Grey. Cattrall, 58, stated that she will not watch the movie and any of its sequels before adding that Dornan looks like a young boy.

"Maybe it's my age, but he doesn't look like a man to me. He looks like a young boy. I like men to look like men. I saw preview and you know they say in three seconds you can tell if you find someone attractive or not? Well, I just thought, 'no,'" she explained to The Independent.

5. Lolo Jones

Olympian Lolo Jones has always been vocal about her views on sex. The 32-year-old commented on Twitter, "Funny how some people think there's nothing wrong with 50 shades of Grey. God didn't create sex for that purpose. Watch another movie."

Movie adaptions for "Fifty Shades Darker" and "Fifty Shades Freed" have not been confirmed yet. Dornan and female lead Dakota Johnson, who plays Anastasia Steele, will reportedly return.
