Huge Disappointment

Rating: 1/10 (13 February 2015)

I will start off by saying that I did read the books and liked them. I will also say after seeing that Dornan was cast I expected to be disappointed as I did not foresee him being able to pull off that Christian. I was correct, he needed to bulk up more for the part as he looked far too scrawny. What I didn't anticipate about Dornan was that his acting would terrible, laughable, my friend and I kept saying this is worse than a terrible lifetime movie. I was also disappointed with how choppy the movie flowed, I realize that it's difficult to fit the book into 125 minutes but surely the writers could have made it flow some. As for the scenes, I expected nudity but Dakota did a terrible job portraying the innocent virgin Anastasia Steele. You'd think she was cast as slut in terrible porno (script included). Lastly I will say Luke Grimes appeared like a grease -ball. He's a great looking guy but that hair and untrimmed facial hair, he did not play that part well. What, did they try to keep him from outshining Dornan by making him look disgusting? Worst $9 movie ticket I've ever purchased, about half way through I started texting and playing trivia crack.
