Was good but it could have slightly been better

Rating: 8/10 (16 February 2015)

I personally feel that the heavily negative reviews are coming from people who haven't read the book and have expected heavy sexual content in regard to people's perspective of fifty shades of grey. Watching the film the other day, i noticed there are moments where you wouldn't understand why or how certain things are happening if you didn't read the book. For example, Ana's reaction to the books wasn't towards the fact that Christian bought them for her, but the fact that they were $14,000 each. For me the film portrayed key aspects of the book but obviously what you read is not always directly portrayed the exact same way on screen. I adored the way Dakota and Jamie took on their roles and i feel that the storyline has gotten people confused.
Instantly people assume the film to have very kinky sex on top of a lot of genital showing, but the idea of the film is to show the build up of romance between Ana and Christian and that Christian has been a very dominant man for all his life until Ana comes a long and that both their perspective of things are shared with each other. What people don't understand is the kinky sex is Christians way of dealing with specific issues and emotions and that Ana is the key to unlock this and gets him to gradually start releasing these positive emotions, realising that there is more to life that what it is that he is doing. Ana allows Christian to open up and actually love which is the key point people are missing with this film. Hence why Christian had 'vanilla' sex (normal sex) with Ana in his bed which was the first time he has ever done that with woman.
The reviews would be a lot higher if people managed to understand the storyline better and had less of these artificial expectations of the book through gossip. FINGERS CROSSED FOR A SEQUEL!
