Fifty Shades Of Grey

I think this movie has been greatly misunderstood. I absolutely loved this movie! I enjoyed the book, but like many thought it was very badly written and the whole 'inner goddess' think kind of ruined the story. Besides that, I wasn't a fan of Anastasia, but I rarely like the main character in a book. I think the movie is the best possible version of the book. The director did a great job - eliminating all the annoying stuff from the book and turning it into a fantastic love story with just the right amount of sex to spice it up. I believe there is no other movie like this out there and I'm sure I'll watch it many more times in the future. I agree that the acting was bad at times, but I loved Dakota Johnson overall - she actually made me like Anastasia. I was very disappointed at first when I heard Charlie Hunnam was replaced by Jamie Dornan, but I was pleasantly surprised by him. He might be a bit 'goofy' at times, and not dangerous enough to play Christian Grey, but I still think he added just enough 'darkness' to his character - in particular in the final scene which I thought was incredible. Yes - you could argue that the movie is controversial in terms of abuse, although it was consensual,(I disagree completely with rape - Ana was never raped) but it's a work of fiction and if you've read the books, you know the dynamics are going to change.
