Stunning visuals/ lack of character personality

Rating: 5/10 (11 March 2015)

I think 50 Shades had the best: cast, costumes, set design and intimate scenes! I felt like all of these elements helped bring a stunning visualization of what E.L James was trying to describe. The movie fell short of the book for: scene changes and lack of significant scenes, and dialogue changes when unnecessary. Because of these, I felt like Christian's unique strong character was watered down, and does not give viewers who did not read the book, a real idea of who he is. The beginning and ending, does follow the book. I do feel that a different screen writer with more book- to- film adaptation experience would be better for the second and third films.
