What is all the fuss about???

Rating: 9/10 (1 March 2015)

I don't understand what all the fuss is about? Fine, I get that people criticize the books - they are extremely poorly written. The author really needs to learn how to write properly. Its similarities with Twilight is pretty obvious from time to time, but that is because it IS a fan fiction of Twilight (at least to start with).
But there is nothing wrong with the story, in my opinion. It's a love story about how to different people fall for each other and tries to work out a good way to be able to be with each other. This is what the story is all about, and to see the full context people should judge the story after reading it to the end (or watching the last 2 future movies). It's impossible to judge it completely without see the whole picture.
About the naughty parts... People scream that Mr Grey is an abuser and rapist etc. He does NOT rape Ana in the movie (or in the books - EVER). He does NOT do anything she doesn't want to do. The sex scenes were erotic, but how prude is the audience to react on those? (The last scene made me uncomfortable though, but it was on Anastasias initiative, and she could have said the safe word, but she didn't). And those who say this is not what BDSMis about at all, that this is giving BDSM an ugly face and is worse than BDSM... I have been involved in that world, I have read a contract pretty much EXACTLY like Mr Greys. I have been to parties with rooms looking like Mr Greys... I have seen WORSE things happen to other submissive' than what we saw in this film. This was NOTHING. To be honest, this is not BDSM at all - people who practice BDSM shouldn't care about this movie, because pretty much everything being done between Mr Grey and Anastasia can be done in the most ordinary relationships: 1. Spanking while having sex? Fine. Spanking is pretty common in vanilla-relationships. I bet most of you have been spanked once or twice will having being sexual active - admitting it or not. If you really haven't: it can be a real turn on. Just FYI. 2. Being tied up? Oh, thats not all to uncommon in vanilla either. Can also be hot, if its done with a person you trust. 3. Blindfold? Not to uncommon either. Taking one sense away will activate all the other senses so much more. If you have not tried it - you should. As said earlier; EVERYTHING (except perhaps the last scene) can happen in ordinary relationships as well. All of you who scream what a rapist and psychopath Mr Grey is... HOW FRIKKIN POOR ARE YOUR SEX LIFES?? :/
I think the movie are underestimated. It's good acting, Dornan as Mr Grey wouldn't have been my first choice, but he grew into the role in some way. He is a good actor, and if I didn't know he came from UK I would never have guessed it (thinking of the accent). Dakota was AWESOME as Anastasia. She had the looks, the personality, the innocence... She WAS Anastasia Steele. The script was not the best. They had shortened down a lot of important scenes, and it was some flaws from time to time. Its forgivable, though. Hopefully the sequel will be better. The actors worked well together, their sex scenes were steamy in a sensual and beautiful way - not the pornographic way, as some might have expected. I think people are giving the movie such low ratings either because they already decided to hate the movie or expected porn (and was disappointed when they realized its a love story). Some people probably give it a 0 and scream "abusive to women" just because so many others are doing it, and they would be ashamed to admit that the movie is actually pretty good.
I think its a nice love story, seeing how 2 so completely different people fall in love with each other, and how Ana succeeds to heal such a broken soul as Mr Greys. (I have read the other 2 books). I'm looking forward to the next film!
And please, I would take Mr Grey any day of the year instead of Edward Cullen! Who wouldn't???
