Fails to arouse

Rating: 2/10 (16 February 2015)

Waiting eagerly in anticipation for what was hyped up to be the must-see Valentine's film-it became apparent within around 15 minutes that this film would be an immediate failure. The books lack any real plot; trying to sustain a film for 90 minutes without a storyline is undeniably a hard task and one that even Jamie Dornan couldn't master. Dakota Johnson tries to be seductive, yet her lip biting was more reminiscent of a nervous twitch and her monotonous voice dragged-like the film. Jamie And Dakota lacked any chemistry thus making the sex scenes tedious and awkward. E.L James' lacklustre writing skills have truly been exposed through this dire film, save yourself the money and buy a curry if you're after some real spice!
