I don't understand why everyone hates this movie... (spoiler safe)

Rating: 7/10 (18 May 2015)

I personally do not like romantic movies but this was unlike anything I have ever seen. I was honestly entertained by this movie and appreciate the originality of it. Because of this movie I am going to purchase the book trilogy and read them. I think the reason a lot of people are hating on this movie is because they have read the books and have such high expectations. Movies are never as good as the books, fact. Since I have not yet read them, I have to say it was very unique and enjoyable. It's a shame that this movie isn't getting the credit it deserves. I didn't notice bad acting like what I have read in other reviews. Perhaps Ana could have had more emotion but since I haven't read the books I have no idea if that is her character. Christian did a great job at playing his role. He is probably every woman's dream guy, minus the intimacy issues. I hope they continue the trilogy along with the books.
