My Review of the 50 Shades of Grey Movie


I have seen a lot of positive as well as negative reviews surrounding this movie and I must say that I decided that I would go in with an open mind. I have read all three of the 50 Shades books so I knew what to expect with regards to the movie. 

Let me start by saying that I questioned the lead actors before watching the movie but I am now convinced that they couldn't have found two actors to better suit the characters of the book. I also stand by my previous comments that more notable actors would not have been able to pull Christian and Ana better. There are times when our preconceived notions about actors/actresses effect our views of a movie. So "here's to Jamie and Dakota for portraying the characters as they were intended".

As far as the movie -- I loved it!!! Yes, there are parts of the book that have been left out as it happens many times when books are turned into movies. I went to see this with my husband, my mother-in-law and my father-in-law so I spent much of the ride home explaining to my mother-in-law a bit about what was left out of the movie and that she would get a better understanding by reading the books before the sequels come out.

Yes I did just say that I went to watch this movie with my in-laws and didn't feel the least bit wierd about it. I was actually intrigued to find that they seemed to like the movie and were asking questions about it.
With regard to the sex scenes -- they were great without being over the top. In fact, they portrayed the concept of BDSM wonderfully without making you feel like you were watching porn. Well Done.

I cannot wait to see the sequels to this movie even though I have read the books and know how it ends and hope everyone else that watches it loves it too.
