As good (or bad) as the book ;-)

Rating: 6/10 (12 February 2015)

The book wasn't that good, but it was nice material to read on the beach. But it is more a romantic love story with a lot of playful scenes, where slowly he opens up and you will learn more about his past.. the other books has less sex scenes than the first book.. and focuses mainly on their difficult relationship, his past, and some dark figures which makes it more a thriller than a kinky story. And the 2nd en 3rd are even worse than the first book haha, but in the end I wanted to know how it ended, so I think the writer did well after all ;-)
But... the book was never supposed to be a pornographic book or movie.. it just tickles your imagination... And it was meant for a broad public... So how can you expect the movie to more exciting or kinky than the book as a few reviews mentioned on the internet...
I think the movie was as good (or bad) as the book.. Dakota Johnson plays Anastacia well.. there is some joyful playfulness in her role, where in the end she's more in control... I liked watching her. And Mr. Grey.. well... Jamie Dornan, wasn't so convincing in his role as very young CEO... But as a strong lover he does fine I guess for a lot of women ;-)
The movie actually follows the book quite perfectly.. So I'll give it a 6 out of 10... It wasn't disappointing as I didn't expect so much, it wasn't overwhelming either.
