It WAS bad. That's about all that can be said for it. Dakota Johnson may be a good actor - but there was just nothing to bring to this role. The entire theory of 50 SHADES is flawed, quite like ALL fan fictions are flawed. AND, I'm not saying ALL fan fictions are bad - some are very good. However fan fictions cannot be truly published... or made into movies for that matter. The original writer owns the rights to the story characters. Also, the creator of the fan fiction relies heavily upon the original stories. Characters, settings, storylines, etc., etc., are already there and that's about the hardest thing about creating something original. E.L. James wrote 50 Shades as a fan fiction based upon the stories of Stephanie Meyer. It became so popular that James took the story out of 'Twilight' in order so it could be published. The names have been changed... the characters are human. But what I think James relied on too heavily was that her characters would have substance... and they don't. The characters are weak... and the storyline is weaker. I recognize that there are flaws in TWILIGHT, and that there are MANY haters when it comes too the Twilight Saga. However, the Twilight Saga is MUCH better than 50 SHADES. I know that Rob Pattinson literally hated portraying the character of Edward Cullen. He had his reasons. But I can only guess that he's now thankful that he didn't portray Christian Grey. I actually wonder if the rest of the 50 SHADES will even be made into movies. I kinda doubt it.
