Not as bad as the critics say!

Rating: 7/10 (15 February 2015)

I have read all 3 books and was looking forward to the film.
I am struggling to understand why this has had so many bad reviews (mainly men I hasten to add). Yes, the books were badly written, yes, the movie was not amazing, but it was exactly as I was expecting.
The script could never have been great as the story line is weak but it was funny in places and followed the books perfectly. Jamie Doran was new to me as I had never watched 'The Fall' but I give him full marks for what he had to work with and made a perfect Christian Grey.
As for all the reviews slamming the movie as De-grading to women and rape... did you actually watch this film? It was about 2 consenting adults exploring 2 different relationship worlds.
I may get criticized for my reviews but I standby how I feel, a light hearted, easy to watch film, by far not the worst I have seen, and not the best. I will certainly be hoping for a sequel in 2016.
