Shouldn't Have Been Turned Into a Movie

Rating: 2/10 (16 December 2015)

First off, I have read the books and when I initially found out that they were going to be made into movies, my first thought was "how?!?!". The first book was predominately (I would say 80%) graphically described S&M scenes and honestly contained very little plot, which is why I was surprised they didn't just combine books 1 & 2 together (the second book actually has a plot).
Outside of trying to turn water into wine (create a plot from nothing that is) my biggest issue was Jamie Dornan's acting. Although he has a beautiful face, if you have read the books, he was NOTHING like the character Christian Grey. I felt like the strength and demanding attention that was portrayed in the books just wasn't there. Jamie Dornan's portrayal seemed more like a whiny, annoying, persistent person who Anastasia (played by Dakota Johnson who I thought actually did a decent job) basically gave into because she was tired of being harassed.
I don't know if the first movie completely ruined it for me but if I DO decide to see the second one, I just hope the actors step it up a notch.
