Movie vs Book

Rating: 1/10 (12 March 2015)

From a person who has read the books I am very disappointed to say that the movie was horrendous! First off, the story was not the greatest but I'm a sucker for a love story and I enjoyed that aspect of it although I did not like how the it ended. I enjoyed how the author described all her characters so well that it was easy to vividly picture what they should look like. So I knew the movie would suck when I saw the choice of actors; actresses chosen to play Ana and Kate are too old to play 21 year old girls. Christian was described with so much detail that I'm sure most female readers longed to be Ana. Christian is supposed to turn heads everywhere he goes, he is beyond handsome with a billionaire, bad boy, sorta cocky swag. The actor chosen doesn't fit the bill at all. He can't even say laters' babe and make it sound sexy, just sounds dumb. His penthouse is supposed to be white and sterile while not losing that rich feel, and where are Ana's chucks?! The music from the book was also detailed, where are the specific tiles used in the book. I know some things are changed when they make a movie based on a book but come on! This is barely the same story. I watched anyway just to see if the movie was well done but walked out just under an hour. Its so boring, lacking emotion, attraction, and story line that if I hadn't read the books I'd have no idea what the point of the movie was supposed to be. So if someone wanted to read the book or watch the movie, read, and never watch the movie.
