Loved the movie, loved the book

Rating: 9/10 (16 February 2015)

I thought the movie was tastefully done and the two leads perfectly cast. The chemistry between Jamie & Dakota was definitely there and the love scenes were hot.
Jamies accent did come through a few times, but it didn't take away from the overall film and your persona of Christian.
I personally cannot understand all the negative reviews. I am a lover of the books, not for the writing quality, especially in the first book, but for the overall story and love between the two main characters.
I think the casting for some of the other roles perhaps wasn't the best choice, I didn't like Jose, Kate and Elliot's casting - but that's only because in my head they looked totally different from reading the books. They cut out the relationship between Jose and Ana which didn't take anything really away either and obviously trimmed down the sex - a lot - but they had to fit the whole book into a two hour movie and keep it in a rating where the audience would be more widely spread.
If your a lover of a good love story then this is a must to see.
