It's not even that bad...

I went to watch Fifty shades last night with my boyfriend for Valentines day, and I have to say I'm confused as to why some reviews are extremely harsh! I have read all three books and yes I enjoyed them. Why?
Because it was something I had never read before, I study English at University so yes, I am a big romancer (I suppose just like Ana) and this story isn't based on romance. Yes it has a romance curve but that isn't the plot and the basis of it. Christian suffered from a horrific childhood and is a Sadist who enjoys sexual exploitation with women (these women aka submissives are all consent with this aka the contract). Also- what's the issue with the ending guys? It ends on a cliff hanger basis- so what???? That's how the first book ends???
I thought the beginning of the film was good as it indicated how opposite they are however it did leave certain things out which i wasn't impressed with but no doubt them scenes were cut!
I do think the music played a big part in this film though. The songs were great choices and were fitting for the scene, and did play a big part in making the film better. However I do think the acting was pretty fine. I mean, I remember reading the book and picturing the interview in his office and how awkward and shy Ana would be and I think she portrayed that well throughout the film and gaining more confidence as well. Jamie Doman wasn't my first choice for this role however he did an okay job, it did seem at times like he was losing his American accent but, hey he tried.
Overall I think people should cut it some slack, yeah it wasn't the greatest film ever made, but I do think it portrayed the book well (minus the sex part I think that was a little poor) but I enjoyed it for the most part.
