50 Shades of Lost.

Rating: 3/10 (27 February 2015)

Although I do not find this film quite as terrible as others, it was not particularly one that I enjoyed either. I have read the book as well, so naturally I was constantly comparing the film to the book throughout the entire thing.
I felt that the movie was very choppy, left out many parts that I found significant in the book, and that it had no aspect of mystery or room to let the viewers mind wander. It was a film about an average, college student who begins to fall for a rich entrepreneur who is completely different from her in every aspect. We learn about his secrets, and watch as the couple tries to overcome them but in the end can not. It is your generic love plot, just converted into a much more erotic and dark way.
The movie went from scene to scene, often with no transition at all. Had I not read the book, I would have gotten lost. The filmmakers should have found a way to get from one place to another in a way that continued the story line but that flowed easier.
I felt that the acting could have been better, however I do feel like they captured the look of the characters in the book well. Both Dornan and Johnson acted well, but I didn't feel the chemistry between them that I felt in the book. They appeared almost as if they were nervous and uncomfortable around each other.
All in all, the movie was an okay film that I wouldn't recommend unless you don't mind skimming details and lots of inappropriate scenes.
