Good story line, bad acting

Rating: 3/10 (15 February 2015)

I gave Fifty Shades 3 stars because it was a good adaptation of the book from E. L. James, and the intimate scenes were well written and well acted out. I believe the writers and directors/producers did a great job in showing what they could without jeopardizing their ratings for the big screen. The reason I ONLY gave them 3 stars though was because this movie lacked Christian and Ana's personalities that were portrayed better in the book. I understand that certain things need to be taken out to fit the time frame of a film. But acting and personality should not be lost because of that fact. Christian was much more tame and composed than what he should have been. I believe he is a man who is FIFTY SHADES. He has multiple personalities, such as being troubled, controlling, and angry 80% of the time. None of those persona's showed on the big screen. Also, Ana has a sense of humor about her, and was defiant towards Christian with his controlling issues in the first book, and that was not shown as well with her in the film. I believe these stars did not live up to my expectations as the characters of Anastasia and Christian Grey whatsoever. And that their personalities of those characters were immensely watered down. I do hope to see some improvement in their characters in the future films to come. I hope that the personalities unfold and break through for the fans watching.
