I don't get all the negativity

Rating: 7/10 (20 February 2015)

I realize that this may be the highest review this movie has and I have my reasons. Most people that gave it much lower scores and I have noticed that they are sorted into two main categories. First: those that were disappointed in the amount of sexual encounters. For these people I have to say: go check your local porn section is you want hardcore sex. Your expectations for outrageous sex are misplaced. It's rated R for a reason, not X. They did not want to market this as porn. Following the book too closely would have been a mistake. The second category is those that find the acting to be sub-par. To you I'd say you have to much prejudice. The actors they chose seemed to fit the characters better than the typical mainstream. The directing was not terrible. Looking at the actors from the point of view their previous works holds prejudice of what you think they accomplished in this film and frankly it is unfair. I don't see what all the negativity was about. I was entertained the entire time. People that read the books (I did) were too judgmental of its closeness (or lack thereof) to them while people that did not read them were either lost, or judgmental because "it wasn't what it was portrayed to be." You want to pick on some acting check out The Twilight Saga. The first movie has the worst acting I've ever seen. More the most part I think people were upset that they didn't see any of his junk. People really need to lay off. And the next ones will only be better.
