I don't understand why the rating is so poor...

Rating: 9/10 (19 February 2015)

I personally think this is a great movie.
Though Jamie Dornan could have probably done better on portraying Grey as a more intense and cold person, I do think the current version is decent.
Love how director match the scenes with different piece of musics, from gentle and mellow songs that go with romantic getaway to fast-paced intense musics that go with hot sex scenes. After all, we witness how the album is being rated on iTunes Store. The score is currently 5/5.
This movie is unlike other traditional love stories. You might find it impossible for a rich billionaire to fall for a college student, but you can't deny the story line is very distinctive and attractive.
There are people who read the book and complaint about how the movie doesn't follow the book well... all I care is whether I enjoyed the movie while watching it. It doesn't matter whether it matches with the book. Harry Potter movies derail from the books, but people still like it.
