Its not as bad as most of these review express!

Rating: 7/10 (1 March 2015)

This is coming from the perspective of someone who has not read the books. I'm giving this movie a 7 out of 10 because it really was average for me. It wasn't horrible and wasn't amazing. First of all, if you're not comfortable watching sex scenes, especially ones that involve S&M, then don't watch this movie. In my opinion, the sex scenes weren't as raunchy as I expected, but I can see how some could get offended when watching it. About the acting: The acting was not amazing.. the main reason why I gave it a 7 out of 10. Jamie Dornan (Christian Grey) is not the right actor for the part. He struggled capturing the character's tortured soul essence. He also struggled with the American accent. He's not a bad actor but they definitely needed someone more intense for this role. Dakota Johnson's (Anastasia Steele) acting was not too bad. She seemed like a great fit for the part. The two of them together lacked chemistry and I think this is because of the lack of performance from Jamie Dornan. There were many lines in the movie that were very cheesy and acted out very poorly..they were probably lines that were taken directly from the book..not really meant to be acted out. What I like about the movie: I like that this is not your typical love story. It is very different from any other romance film. After watching the movie, I'm curious about what happens in the next two books. Overall: I would give this movie a shot if you're curious about it. Its really not as bad as most of the reviews express. Its not going to be the best movie you've ever seen and it won't be the worst.
