Before I begin my review I would like to say that I have not read all of the books yet. I am currently reading book one. Also, keep in mind that this is my personal opinion and I am by no means trying to offend anyone. Now for my review of the movie:
I believe this was a great movie. It exceeded my expectations. I had no yet began the book when I saw it and I was basically expecting lots of sex and not a very great storyline. But, to my surprise, it actually had an extremely intriguing storyline! It was very interesting to see a dominant type of person, almost a dominatrix. Jamie played a wonderful Christian Grey because he portrayed that dominant character but he also showed that he was being changed by Anastasia. It was quite interesting to learn of him being the way he Is because he has a mental issue due to basically being molested by an older lady when he was younger. I thought that Dakota played Anastasia perfectly because she showed how awkward yet curious Ana is in the book(now that I am reading it). I thought that, despite what many people have said, the two actors showed the exact chemistry they were supposed to. I have heard many people say that the movie did the book no justice, but to be completely blunt, DUH. Books are always better than movies, if the books are good( which in my opinion these books are great so far), because movies could not possibly fit all of the details and perspectives from a book into a movie.. Unless of course you would want to watch a six hour long movie with internal diegetic( hearing the actors thoughts but only so that the audience knows what they are thinking). I was absolutely hooked on this movie and I'm completely consumed with yearning to know what happens next. I believe people are being ridiculously picky when reflecting and reviewing the movie. It was overall a wonderful movie and people have way too high expectations of it in relation to the book. It followed the book as well as it could and , to be honest, it followed it pretty damn well. I am agitated at the fact that this movie has currently gotten a 4.1/10 rating when it deserves much better. Also, when movies get bad ratings, many times, they don't finish out the series. So I'm asking all who read this to please consider what I have said and reconsider your judgments and reviews of the movie so that you don't contribute to the possibility of them not finishing this wonderful series. It would ruin it for the people who actually truly enjoyed the movie, i.e. me, and who knows they might make the next two better than the first for those of you who critiqued the movie negatively! Thank you for taking your time to read this and I truly hope I have changed a few minds. Again, no offense was intended this was just a friendly opinion and interpretation of the movie and the reviews I have seen.
