Just like everyone else I eagerly awaited the Fifty Shades Film, I mean lets be honest it's all we women talked about for weeks on end in the Summer of 2012. Jiggle Balls & BDSM products sold so well, we actually sold out of Jiggle Balls at Ann Summers, Can you believe it? And the books were even linked to the baby boom in 2013. And with the launch of our Dark Desires Parties here at Ann Summers Party Plan it just wouldn't be right if we didn't go & watch it, would it now?
We booked the tickets opening day for the afternoon & it was packed solid, groups of ladies ranging from 18 through to late 50's, Young couples & Older Couples, there was even a group of lads (obviously doing their homework or there for the hyped up porn). I went with an open mind, I had put away all of my expectations so that I wouldn't be disappointed & I wasn't.
Mr Grey played by Jamie Dornan wasn't exactly as I had fantasised about but he definitely fit the damaged persona, he was good, not bad to look at & definitely knew how to wield a whip. Ana played by Dakota Johnson was just as I imagined she literally did ooze vanilla & absolutely stick thin. The chemistry between them well you had to read between the lines unless you had read the book you wouldn't have known the significance of her biting her lip, the way she held her pencil to her cheek stroke mouth.
The sex scenes cut, cut, cut.... BUT honestly to put everything we saw in our minds into a movie for the cinema, it literally would have been XXXX RATED!!! To say it was a film about BDSM there wasn't a great deal in it, however it did give you a glimpse of what could be in store. The film & the story line really does centre around control & we must all remember that this is FICTION NOT FACT!!!
All in all I thought it was very elegantly put together & not the smut we all thought it would be.
