Yesss after 3 years of waiting,one of my fav novels made it to the big screen!! Well I got to admit that I had a break from being Greysessed for years since I got hooked on the Crossfire series; But I still have a big big heart for my dear Christian Grey.❤️ Going back to last year when the trailer came out,I was so excited that I cannot contain my feels anymore---like I needed an emergency flight to America if this won't be shown in the Philippines (yet thankfully,it did). So yeah, I watched it twice because I couldn't wait any longer for the blockscreening last Feb.15.Hahaha! That's why I first watched it on the second day of premiere last Feb. 12.I watched it with my mom who wasn't really aware of the erotic story and I can't believe she liked it at the end!In fact she's more obsessed than I am now as she watched it thrice and reads the books.See how Christian Grey's impact goes for the women...sigh ❤️
I actually liked the movie even if I've heard several pros and cons from other viewers and critics. Some critics are legit especially THE ONES WHO HAVE READ THE BOOK (pardon the shouty capitals).Also, one needs to be open-minded when it comes to watching a movie or reading a book like this. The story isn't about to fall in love with a rich sadist--Anastasia Steele fell inlove over the controlling Mr. Grey and made him change his lifestyle. It's not about the things that Christian gave her or the BDSM,but it's the care that made her fall for him. The rich CEO couldn't execute his care very well because he was enticed on becoming a dominant needing pleasure to a submissive in relation to his past. He may say he doesn't do romance now,but he will be on the next sequel! ;) So moving on, the movie was 70% book-captured in my opinion having said that some scenes in the film are "twisted".The film lacked how Christian Grey became "a man of firsts" to Ana. Unfortunately, some important scenes from the book weren't shown like how Ana got her job at SIP and the glider gift at the end.The fast pace of the minor characters on each scene kinda kept me hanging as well.I think they deserve more exposure like Kate Kavanagh who's not suppose to like Christian.On the other hand, I find the director good at doing the sex scenes. I know there should be more like if they will really follow the book,then it'll have 14 times of sex which is never gonna happen.Lol.Are you expecting Dakota Johnson to have 2 silver balls in her sex?Plus,Jamie Dornan has a wife.Such nudity must be limited.I became a fan of Dakota ever since I watched this :) I felt her acting as very natural and sexy to be Ms.Steele.While for Jamie, he needs to execute more because Mr.Grey is not an all-around serious type of man.He is fifty shades.
What should I look forward to Fifty Shades Darker? Well,it MUST be damn better than this first movie. FSD is my most favorite among the three books.A lot of scenes had happened and NONE must be missed on the film.Maybe author E.L. James should be in-control with the directing this time :) Ergo,I can't wait for this!
Here are the free merchandise I got from the blockscreening:
The mask says it all,See you in Fifty Shades Darker!❤️
