I had high expectations for this film being a fan of the book. Leaving the theater I was left with mixed emotions. Jamie Dorian and Dakota Johnson's chemistry wasn't there. That was obvious from multiple interview confessions and it was easy relayed to the big screen. There was also huge characteristic traits missing for Christian Grey, some that I found most important for explaining his morals. The movie was also taken in a comedic approach, something I wasn't enticed by. Even with these flaws, I was impressed with its overall performance. The sex scenes were toned down as expected but just as devious as needed. My attention was focused on screen for the duration of the film so with a little wiggle room, this film passes as worthy enough to watch. At least once.
