True to the book

Rating: 8/10 (14 February 2015)

Honestly people, if you have not read the books don't judge the film so harshly. The movie stuck very closely to the book while leaving out one of my favorite scenes. The acting was a lot better than I had expected. Jamie Dorian's American accent could use a little more work but Dakota Johnson was great. She looked beautiful in the film and her acting was on point for Ana. All I can say is do not go in with too high of expectations. The story did seem a little rushed at times but you can't get every single detail into a movie. I think I would have liked Dakota doing commentary throughout the film so we could hear some of her thoughts. Overall, I loved the movie and thought they did an excellent job. Looking forward to Darker and Freed!
