Could have been better...

Rating: 4/10 (15 February 2015)

First off, I have read the book about 20 times. Second, the movie moved really fast but that can be expected if you're trying to fit all of this book into a couple hours. Unfortunately, there was a lot missed, especially the little things. Ana and her job interview, Christian chasing her in the apartment, sex in the boathouse, and the entire relationship aspect between the two and a bunch of other things I won't list. It didn't show Christian as controlling and mercurial in the movie like he was in the book. Yes they could have done better, much better, but the movie is never as good as the book anyways, unless you've never read the book. If they will make a second movie - which I hope they do despite my disappointment in this first movie - they have the chance to redeem themselves. In my opinion, I've always thought the first book as boring, and the last two as more entertaining. If given the chance, they should continue and improve.
