Why this is a great adaptation for Fifty Shades of Grey

Rating: 8/10 (14 February 2015)

***Personal post form blog DO NOT COPY**** To start, I have read the Fifty Shades trilogy and I loved the books. I think E.L. James wrote such a unique, fresh, and empowering love story. Anastasia is a strong women who knows who she is. Christian has his issues, but with the both of them together, figuring each other out, helping each other, it's very touching and loving.
For the movie adaptation, I have been following everything about it since the news came out. I've watched the trailers(multiple times), watched interviews, read other reviews. I was going into this movie with a decent level of expectation. This is actually happening! And I have to say that I really did like the movie.
First off, Dakota and Jamie are perfect for the characters. Their chemistry is spot on and I get the feelings that I got from reading the books. Also I think Sam Taylor-Johnson and screenwriter Kelly Marcel, added what needed to be added to be a great film. I love how Sam brought in the right amount of pleasure for the book lover fans and new people seeing Fifty Shades for a first time.
The colors, scenery, and the whole look of the movie was exactly what I had in my head. From Christian's apartment being the way it was to the floor plan and furniture. And of course the red room was exquisite. The clothing in the movie for both Ana and Christian had both perfect fits for their personalities.
When it came down to the final week and I was looking at early screening reviews, I was getting really aggravated. It is not a law saying that you have to read a book before its a movie, but with book having backlash since the beginning, I think it might have been better. Many reviews from people and news outlets, were writers who haven't read the books and would end up given the movie a bad review, calling it dull, lacking, not kinky enough. And other would just say it was horrible, and didn't like how it was put together. Yes, there were parts missing, but it is an adaptation, you have to give and take to make something standout and be pleasing. Many movie goers can probably say that they get bored with the very typical love stories that are shown in movies, but I think Fifty Shades(book/movie) proves otherwise. Like the stars and makers of this film have been saying, I have never seen a movie like this before. It is fresh, emotional, and is kind of genre-less. Of course there were parts I wished that they added more from the book or elaborated on more, and for the sex, those who have read the books know the sex is hot and kinky. And for this movie to be rated R, showing a lot of nudity, the scenes are still very hot and drawing.
No adaptation of a book can be perfect, but in the end Fifty Shades of Grey was an excellent movie. It was new, it was different, and something fresh to see instead of the usual love story. A great book has become a great movie and I hope other die-hard fans can agree. ***This post is from my blog, please do not copy my work?***
