It's not as bad as all the negative reviews are saying

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2015)

I went with my husband and was quite wary as to whether he would stay for the duration. I have read all the books he has read none (no real surprise for a guy). There is an actual story there which we both discussed afterwards. My husband said that he could understand how Mr Grey is the way he is as he has been conditioned that way and doesn't really know any different until he meets Ana. It's a film yes, it's fictional yes, but there are troubled people like them in the world. They are both quite alike yet so different and after reading all 3 books it is a journey that you go on and are sucked into their lives, the erotic elements in the book become tiresome after a while yet still capture your imagination but you want to turn the pages to see the relationship develop and to see Christian and Ana evolve. I was disappointed that the movie left so many things out in the script from what you get in the book. The movie didn't really provoke your imagination as the books did. It did seem a little disjointed at times and I think the sequels will be so much better
