This movie deserves more than 3.3 rating...

Rating: 7/10 (13 February 2015)

This is the first time I felt like writing a movie review, as I just watched this movie today and thought it deserves more than 3.3.
First of all, I read all three books. For any readers like me, we will go to watch this movie no matter how low the rating is. In fact, I can't even remember when was the last time I felt strongly about having to watch a movie on its first day of release.
Secondly, the movie is pretty true to the book, and I am glad the director Sam Taylor-Johnson didn't make it like a porn movie but rather an artsy one. Dakota Johnson did a fabulous job. After watching this movie, I'm sure everyone will agree that she's really Anastasia Steele coming out from the book. I look forward to seeing her career taking off from here. As for Jamie Dornan, he's doing a pretty good job too. But the thing is, I don't think anyone can really portray Christian Grey. It's not just his look, but also his strong characters, i.e. intense and intimidating, but in the meantime...desirable. So I think it's fair to say that Jamie Dornan has done the best he could, and I enjoyed watching his performance. I also want to mention that Eloise Mumford as Kate Kavanagh is a scene stealer. She left a strong presence every time she was on the screen.
Finally, Beyoncé's song "Crazy in love" went really well with the red room play...
Overall, I think the movie deserves much better than 3.3...
