Not as bad as I expected....

Rating: 6/10 (14 February 2015)

After reading all the reviews on the site beforehand I was expecting an utter train wreck but I didn't really see a whole pile of difference from the book and the film. The scenes weren't as cringe as I thought they would be and I actually thought that Johnson fit the part quite well. However, it was a bit dragged out at the end and I didn't like the fact the story line of Jack Hyde was left out. This is a big part of plot in the book. I have seen far worse films than this. I loved the soundtrack to the film! Dornan could have been a bit better as there did seem to be a certain clinical aspect to the sex scenes but hey the character is meant to be a bit of a sociopath so kind of fitting in a way. Don't have high expectations and it is enjoyable enough.
