I actually really liked it!

Rating: 6/10 (14 February 2015)

I couldn't get through the book because the writing was so horrible, but I was able to recognize that there was actually a good story somewhere in there. I went and saw the movie today, and I really liked it. I can tell they cut out a ton of material from the book, but I still enjoyed the story, and I understood the reasons for Christian's behavior and tastes. I get it. It didn't seem far fetched to me. Dakota Johnson by the way did a FANTASTIC acting job. I was pleasantly surprised by that. Yes, there's lots of sex in it. I'm not sure why it didn't get an NC-17 rating because it is so explicit, yet I loved it. I did not feel like I was watching a porno. There are a couple of lines that are super cheesy, but that is because they went off of the book script and the author is so bad. All in all, I really liked the movie! It made me want to get the next book to see what happens, but I'm not sure I can stand that 1st grade level writing.
