I was more disappointed in the novels than the film. If they had made the movie after the books, it would have been porn. Sorry to say, but it is true. I loved the movie. Yes, I know I may be one of the only ones that liked the movie. The books were awful to me, because of all the grammatical errors and the story wasn't all that polished. Going from fanfic to book is awesome in itself, but I think the publisher should have edited it more. I like the characters, but I think the story could have been done so much better. I think most people were expecting an X rating when then went to see this movie.
The books weren't so bad to me. Then again, I just read them because I wanted to do a compare and contrast to Twilight.

I think fifty shades darker had a few sex scenes as compared to the first(fifty shades of grey) didn't like the ending though

I agree with this. There's little/no research done while writing this. It's like it's based on just what the author knows. I'm disappointed in both the movie and the book actually. But what an we expect from a fanfiction of Twilight right?ShaneDevante wrote: ↑02 Jan 2017, 22:25 I read the books to understand the hype and outrage surrounding the books, because I'm a firm believer in hate/love it for the right reason. I'm not going to lie. I was rather appalled at Fifty Shades of Grey being considered a best seller considering the severe lack of research on the part of the author, the awful spelling and grammar, and the weak characterization. The book didn't reflect BDSM at all, and it had far too many unfortunate implications and subtext which left a nasty taste in my mouth.
The movie improved on these considerably, because they removed a large chunk of what made the books intolerable. The movie, for its focus on sex, actually made them appear somewhat normal, sane people who enjoyed safe, sane, and consensual kinks as opposed to the unfortunate implications in the books wherein the subtext read as a manipulative sociopath of a man taking advantage of a weak, naive woman. So, I do think the movie was better as a whole.
