On Mutual Grounds

Rating: 4/10 (29 July 2016)

Okay, let me get a few things straight. I don't want to sound like a know-it all neither would I want to sound like a whiner for things that could not be helped. I guess, the best way would be to give out a better lay-out in hopes that it reaches those who needs to understand this film better than anyone.
On Acting, I think that the film was a disaster. The actors were all good to be perfectly honest, but weren't good enough for their own character development. It's a matter of how much they have been informed or how well they felt like expressing this entire novel into the big screen.
I'd like to note that Christian does not seem like a control freak at all and his appeal lacked too much that even the cinematics couldn't even support it ( well, to be honest. there were very vague that were even present).
The Plot of the story, it does follow the adaptation closely from the book version but there were some hits and miss, but it doesn't really have to be exactly what the book has to offer. if a lot of people who read the book felt like it was a disaster, I wish the screen writers had done a better job at least on giving justice as a guide to the actors.
I also saw someone rating it's romance? honestly, I don't think there was any romance present. Honestly tho, I think I like this better than the twilight scenario with the part that says "I'm not good for you" said by C.Grey, or something like that. On Drama and erotica, I was really rooting for that boat scene that never happened. It explained why exactly Christian grey wanted to beat up brunets. I wonder how they'll be constructing this now that movie 2 has been announced.
On the actual bed scenes, love the camera works there. I'm both wondering whether it was done and do or it was purely the camera tricks. I think I might double check on that first before I say anything but love the amazing visuals but, still I really felt that there was something lacking from there.
Overall. The movie itself could have been better than the Novel (Book version) but for some reasons, I guess it felt all too rushed to even appreciate what was exactly going on within the story.
I think it would have worked better as a direct porn.
