I liked it but not loved it.

Rating: 7/10 (13 February 2015)

Well I came in with no high expectations, I did know that the author had her hands in the direction of the movie. However it is obvious it was compressed due to time constraints. I enjoyed the movie as a fan of the books however I can see someone watching it who has not read the books be left out wondering what they just watched. I enjoyed the dialog between Ana and Christian, the acting overall was pretty good. The sex scenes were pretty tamed compared to a typical book fans imagination. My biggest complaint overall is that they left out key character development moments and I hope they will release an uncut version to rectify this.
