Honest, Open Minded Review;. You'll either love this movie or not. Simple.

Rating: 8/10 (20 February 2015)

First and foremost I have not read the books myself but I already knew beforehand what I was going to expect. Furthermore I'm only writing this review because it amazes me the amount of Ignorance in these reviews.... Listen this movie is not bad not amazing either but is a good movie all around. Yes it has sex. Wow sex.. so bad!!! I honestly hate that people associate sex with disrespect or ''disgusting'' or should be only viewed or discussed behind closed doors. We were all created due to sex.. we all were born naked, we are all human. We all have sex. Embrace your body, love it. This film is not entirely just about the sex, its just part of it, the film is honestly not your typical love story. Its a very complicated,bizarre love story with intriguing complex characters that are not the typical cliché love birds. Of course this is what I interpret since I have not read the books but more or less what I'm trying to come across is that this movie is not what you may think it is. DON'T JUDGE A FILM BY ITS TRAILER OR GO ALONG ON THE BANDWAGON OF HATE.
Starting off with the movie itself, I really liked both Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey maybe not the actor for Christian Grey but Ill get into that later. Starting with Anna she did at first annoy me in the first 15 mins due to how dorky and her all around shy personality is but I soon really like her as the movie progressed. Now onto Christian.... oh Christian was it certainly mind boggling to truly understand you as a character and as a viewer not reading the books personally, even though his causes to be into BDSM will be exposed in the next 2 films.. He's truly a character that you really need to read the books to understand fully... BUT here's where the film excelled for me.. not reading the book still, made me understand about them, knowing that there is still more to cover you still get a concept of who they are and knowing they have more to them. I've always said a movie based on a book should stand on its own, appealing to both audiences: readers (such as some of my friends who enjoyed it) and to non readers like me, who enjoyed it as well. That's why I really did enjoy his character,from a non readers point of view, I was like what the fug is up with him!? I want to live his life LOL minus the really kinky stuff but the billionaire at a young age, yes please! LOL anyways I was really fascinated all around with Christian and Anastasia. I really want to see both on screen more. The movie did a good job giving you a insight of both characters, giving them good bulid up yet leaving you with questions that will be answered in the next films. The transitions from scenes were good, and was really visually intriguing and stunning (The red room of pain with the xbox LOL and the the emphasis on certain body movements and locations and the way Christian is very ''neat'') (The film is part of a 3 novel trilogy that IS going to be made into movies regardless of all these really ignorant reviews).
The actors themselves now.. Starting off with Dakota Johnson (Anastasia) she really fit the role good, it came off naturally. I sometimes believed she was a virgin at first LOL acting done right? hahaha joking.. but seriously I applaud her on all levels, acting and mostly on the actual nudity.. I do not in anyway want to sound sexist or perverted but here's why I had a issue with Jamie Dornan being casted as Christian Grey.. The movie obviously revolves around the chemistry between both and BDSM that Christain does with Anastasia.. yet Jamie Dornan never went full frontal like Dakota did.. Its honestly absurd. Its like watching a War movie with 2 characters while only one shoots his gun on camera and the other one doesn't (No pun intended)He knew coming into the movie, skin was to be shown. Why sign a ''contract'' to not show anything and boy let me tell you he has STUNT DOUBLES in some sex scenes I promise you this! You can easily tell when its not him. Jamie is necessarily not the perfect Christian but you it is what it is. Just hoping by the 2nd film he gets some sense to actually stick to a role and do allll of its requirements. Christian sounds to me better on paper even though I didn't read the book.
Final thought: I give this film a 8/10. It doesn't hold back and honestly has more then meets the eye. Please drop the ignorance. Come into the film open minded and don't just base/review it on the obvious.
P.S I felt that they should have shown more of Ana and her roommate Kate, she seemed like a cool girl lol
There you have it a honest review from a non reader and open minded film viewer and now fan waiting for the next release!
