Fully enjoyable.

Rating: 9/10 (3 April 2015)

I have never read the books, nor felt the urge to, and I fully enjoyed this movie. I didn't find it offensive, in bad taste, or insulting to my intelligence. It seems that a lot of the negative reviews criticise the content, content that is milder than some sex scenes I've seen in other movies, and that the negativity towards the books has intruded people's thoughts about the movie, so people cannot see it as a stand alone. It's pretty much a classic love story with a twist. All the one star ratings seem pretty unfounded, and a lot of reviewers come across as pretty desperate to be intentionally spiteful towards the movie. I, for one, am looking forward to the second film.
