Nice to look at, dirty but tame

Rating: 8/10 (9 February 2017)

Fifty Shades of Grey is a good adaption to the novel of the same. The main issue is that the famous novel is not great material to adapt to begin with. The lead girl did a fine job selling the innocence quality of her character and the virgin curiosity of a woman about to be immersed in a world of seduction. I did not feel the male lead sold his character that well. Overall, he was pretty to look at but did not convey the right carnal energy to make us believe he has something going for him other than his good looks and MONEY. He did do a good job showing the anger and the dominating side of their sexual relationship. It was hard to believe they could be in love, but these are issues from the book.
