Something's missing..may contain spoilers (first movie review)

Rating: 5/10 (13 February 2015)

OK, I read the book first. I am in my early 30s and it's a first sex book since high school ))) The movie felt like a bunch of shortened scenes clumped together.. Without reading the book you probably won't understand the movie at all. I'm not a complete thrilled fan of the books either because of cheesy moments or plain "come on, that doesn't happen in real life" stuff. But what made me read through the whole book were the sex descriptive scenes... The movie falls short on those.. it felt like that the director just flies through those and doesn't give the viewer enough time to even try to enjoy them..
The Actors. Ana is not how I would picture her. Here is an erotic movie with lots of naked scenes and you want to see beautiful bodies of lovers...but as soon she gets naked, it's disappointing: freckled face, regular body, flat chested.. even women like to look at beautiful naked women ! ))) It's not the case in this movie.. Christian always has a slight smile on his face. For some reason he never looked serious to me during the whole movie. I didn't catch the "tortured look" that he was going for. His body passed the nakedness test :)
You have to always keep in mind that this book was written as many of those "chick soft porn" books, the author herself didn't expect it to become so widely popular. That's why it has a standard "rich guy falls in love with an ordinary girl" story. To me, it's the unusual BDSM sex ideas and "pleasing her first or no matter what" that attract women's attention. Also, the fun emailing back and forth in the book makes the reader want to read further. In the movie it was barely shown...
Bottom line, I want to see the movie again, to enjoy it in a more private setting than in a theater. And I hope the creators of this movie will read the negative comments and make the sequels better )))
p.s. What's with constant comparing to Twilight series ? I don't get it..
