Hype NOT Heat !!!

Rating: 4/10 (19 December 2015)

I must confess, I have never read the book 50 Shades of Grey and after viewing this movie twice on HBO I think I'll pass !!! I guess that Jamie Dorman does what he can with a boring script and such a one dimensional character. My understanding was that Alexander Scarsguard from True Blood was first mentioned as playing the Chrisitan Grey but somehow that was either only rumor or something happened. I think he would have been somewhat better, deeper in the part.
Dakota Johnson looks nothing like her mother or grandmother and lacks the "Spunk" both were noted for, as well as their beautiful blonde hair. I wonder who does Dakota Johnson's hair? Whoever they are, they should be shot!! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Redheads but not one who's hair is in constant need of a comb, a trim or a wash !! I'd love to know who else was considered for the role of Anastasia Steele ??I think a 4 is generous for a movie so shallow and lacking in substance !
