Over 20 minutes of material has been cut from the erotic thriller, with the cuts leaving cinemagoers in the country baffled by the film's ending.
The scene in which Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) asks Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan ) to demonstrate how he would punish her for breaking their contract remains, but the subsequent sequence in which Grey beats her with a belt as been removed.
As a result, Vietnamese viewers were left none the wiser as to why a sobbing Anastasia leaves Grey at the end of the film.
Vietnamese filmgoer Xuan Thao told The Independent : "It's totally ridiculous. This version is rated 16+, but it doesn't need an age restriction; a 5-year-old could watch it.
"Even the trailer was sexier. They'd have been better banning it altogether."
The erotic thriller has been banned in India, Indonesia, Cambodia and Malaysia.
Vietnamese film critic Cat Khue explained that Vietnam's strict cinematography laws forbid material featuring "image, sound, dialogue or scripts which are obscene, depraved, incestuous or contrary to national fine customs and traditions".
She added: "It has become a familiar thing to us to watch films that have had scenes of sex and violence removed."
The film has also been banned in India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Kenya, UAE, Cambodia, Papua New Guinea and the North Caucasus region of Russia.
The film was handed an 18 rating in the UK and an R rating in the USA, while the French film board gave it a 12 certificate.
