Compared To the Book, This Movie Is Rubbish

Rating: 4/10 (17 February 2020)

In all honesty, you may or may not like this film. It all depends what your expectation are and what you are looking for.
Everyone knows, the books are literally a woman's fantasies about BSDM sex, so please do not expect this movie to be something sweet and cute like most love stories
If I was to rate the movie based only on the movie and not the book, it's a shallow, poorly written, mediocre acting film that's much better then the normal porno, but it's more something to waist time with. You can't expect wonders from it, It's not the Notebook, but it's not the worst thing in the world either. A bit of sex, some BSDM, and a messed up love story. No one dies, or is brutally beaten, people have exaggerated a little too much on the movie.
Now, If I was to rate the movie based from the books, this is a load of garbage. Fifty shades is supposed to have fifty personalities that he shifts to and from quite dramatically, but in this movie, fifty is just one thing, brooding. There is no depth to the character and the acting is beyond poor. Same with Anastasia, the actress has played the part so poorly that it's infuriating. They have cut out so many important scenes or have slightly rewritten them so that you do not understand the characters like they are shown in the book. Even the sex scenes are so poorly done compared to the books, they were so much better and showed that fifty was all about trust and finding connection with Anna. Yes fifty liked to punish his subs in the book, but he also made it very clear to Anna what she would be getting into. Because he did not want to take advantage of her. Where in the movie this is shown more like he is a predator. In all honesty in the books, it's Anna that's really messed up with her thinking, where as fifty is a broken character that grows and develops into something better.
The movie has shamed the book, it did not do it justice.
