Based on E L James book by the same name, this was one of the much awaited movie of the year. After a friend recommended, I managed to read all the not only this book but the sequels as well. If you are in to Mills and Boon, you won't find the books difficult to read. It's got a sense of romance and its got a story line with several other characters apart from Christen and Anastasia.
Though this movie is banned in India ( I wondered Why !!! ) , I managed to harness the online resources and get hold of the movie. I was looking forward to watching this movie since there was so much hype about the casting and of course the entire movie. But disappointed ...I was ...
The underlying element of this movie is BDSM. This movie is all about Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele.
Christian Grey is a super rich industrialist. He is young, drop dead gorgeous and he has a secret. Anathalisia is spirited and innocent young girl who has just graduated from college.
The " Boy Meet the Girl " happens when Anasthasia is requested by her best friend and roomy , Kate Kavannah to interview Christian Grey for the college magazine since she was unwell. Christian is instantly attracted to the simple, beautiful and gawky Anasthasia Steele.
Anasthasia is soon drawn into Christian's magnetic and mysterious world and soon falls madly in love with him. She tries her best to come to terms with Christian's dark world of sexuality.
Dakota Johnson, in her role of Anastasia Steele was just perfect, but Jamie Dornan passed off as a 27 year old millionaire but failed to exude the magnetic aura.He was a disappointment
Unfortunately, the movie was not able to capture the essence of the book. The several other characters that were prominent in the book sort of faded away in the movie. All the focus was on Dakota and Jamie leading the movie towards the status of "soft porn".
Tonnes of skin show and hence not a family movie by far stretch of imagination.
Verdict :- 5/10. Watch it if you are looking for some skin show...and nothing else....
