Worst Adaptation - Lame Christian - Very Good Ana

Rating: 2/10 (13 February 2015)

OK, the book's writing was poor but the story was good, and it did have its erotic moments. However, the script was the absolute worst part of the film - it was AWFUL. There was poor story development with horrible pacing in script and direction. I was not a fan of Dakota Johnson's casting as Ana, but she was very good. The emotions that moved across her face were exactly as I had pictured Anastasia. Jamie Dornan was as sexy as a dry stick of wood. This was horrible casting for Christian. He did not have any chemistry with Dakota, and I can't imagine chemistry with anyone. I did expect the sex scenes to be somewhat erotic. They were not; I felt that they were mechanical, almost with no context. If the sequels are being made, Christian needs to be recast and a real writer found. I didn't expect much from this film and was not disappointed.
