One word

Rating: 7/10 (23 February 2015)

So, I'm just going to be honest. There is only one word that can describe this movie for me, quote "for me", Awkward
I have read the book since my friends told me it was awesome, exciting, etc --> typical women comments (just to let you know, I am a woman)
(Spoiler)
So I read the book, it wasn't exciting nor awesome nor whatever. If I had to summarize the book, I would say: "An university graduate woman who was once so innocent ( aka virgin) who fell in "love" in a hot, controlling and "tormented" man. They go through the phases that all couples go through, well, not really, but you know it. They go through the up and downs, the rounds and rounds but honestly, they go through "meet-talk-fuck-fuck-fuck-talk-blah-blah-blah" The woman tries so hard to break his inner heart walls like a wrecking ball but of course, the guy steps back a few times that she misses the wall. The controlling and tormented man tries change himself and what you know, ding ding ding, the girl breaks the walls! She keeps on having sex with the "changed" man. They have children and they live duckily happily ever after."
Of course most of you know that this isn't the overall truth but you get the picture. Book:
While reading the book, I had to remind myself that this isn't a true story, well not the relationship but I am sure this genre of sex do. I had to constantly remind myself that this is a basic book based on a woman desire that somehow originated from "twilight", "secretary" and a true story of a man that worked at the bank. The book could be enjoyed by women and men but only those that haven't had some sex for some time, all the organisms etc. I don't know if any of you have read the newspaper yet but there was recently some "accidents" stating that during the film, some woman and men were masturbating, so I'm sure there were some people who did while reading the book. Well, we have some prove that this is "exciting" but honestly, the book was badly written, could have been better if there was more taking, getting to know each other, and a little less sex. Hell, this was supposed to be a romantic book, not a badly written porn novella.
Movie:
As I stated above, it was AWKWARD. The book, I can read, use my imagination and change the book inside me mind and all, but the movie, oh god the movie. I am fine with all the nudity and sex but only if there is chemistry between the actors, only if there is this "feeling" aka realism. But no, there wasn't any of that, sadly. I was hoping that the movie would be better than the book. That there are some people that have the abilities to transform the book into something worth watching. I am not blaming the actors, the directors, the helpers. No one really. If I was in their situation, I would've ran before the filming even started. This was an Awkward situation. The male lead, um, what's his name? Oh yeah, Jamie Doran. I am not a person that knows the actors names, hell, I don't even know the authors of books that I love to read, I am more interested in the material. So. Jamie Doran, a normal British and if I may add, hot guy. That's a fact. He's hot and he behaves like a gentleman. (I hope so) I can imagine him trying to understand Christian Grey, his character, his ways of living and etc. even the sex. In all, he is ordinary and it's takes a lot of effort to understand Christian and the sex. From what I have seen in the movie, it takes a real dominant to really understand another dominant. To go from "normal" to dominant, I bet Jamie's head is a real mess because as we all know, sex is about pleasure, fun, not abuse. The female lead, Dakota Johnson, was in a somehow better situation. She just had to act as a normal girl with no sex experience that went through the process of understanding and submitting to Christian. So she just had to act as if it was herself that went through this but of course in a similar way to Anastasia. But she still had to go through a process where minds are bound to go in a mess.
As I have said, I am not blaming anybody for this movie. It was a best-seller book that was turned into a movie. All I can say is that they tried and it failed. It was a book that only a few people can understand it.
I rated this 7 out of 10 because they had to of this because there was a lot of people who wanted it and they had to fulfill their desires. They tried and they failed for a certain amount of people. For me, I always put 5 as awful, 6 -.-, 7 OK but not going to watch it again, 8 nice, 9 awesome, 10 so going to recommend this.
I can't put less than 5 stars because there will always exist some movies that sucks but I can't put any less the 5 stars because they tried. Of course some directors only do the movie to earn a pretty quarter but I am not going to say anything against that, it's as they say, "money goes around the world"
I wouldn't recommend this movie but I'm sure that there will be a second one.
