Not as bad as I expected

Rating: 7/10 (1 March 2015)

I have read the books. And I have to admit, I didn't enjoy the books as much as I enjoyed the movie. First of all, let's talk about the casting. I think Dakota Johnson did a nice job. She's kind of what I imagined Ana to be. Jamie Dornan on the other hand isn't... I like him as an actor, and I think he did great. But the way he looks just doesn't fit in my opinion. He seems to sweet. No problem for anyone who hasn't read the books, though.
I thought the film was quite alright, actually. It was definitely not too dark and heavy like I expected from everyone's reviews. Ana is bubbly and funny, which is not at all the way she seemed in the books. When it comes to the sex part, as long as you're okay with a bit of boob and pubic hair here and there, it's not that provocative. Of course there's the topic of BDSM, but I think it's not shown like a terrible form of physical abuse like I've read here. It didn't seem disturbing to me.
I thought it was a romantic, funny and easy movie that's perfectly appropriate to watch on a girl's night or a movie night with your boy/girlfriend
