50 SHADES OF GREY REVIEW

I did it... I watched 50 Shades of Grey. I've never seen a movie theater this full! The excitement was unbelievable, apparently Sam Taylor-Wood 's latest masterpiece is obligatory for every modern day adult. Wherever you go, whatever you hear or see - It's everywhere. Fifty Shades of Grey is officially the movie of the year. This century's most outrageous and controversial book is finally hitting the big screen. We've fantasised about this twisted romance for years now. E. L. James embodied the 21st century's dark twisted fantasy on over 500 pages. The magic of a book relies on the fact that there are no boundaries to our imagination. T. S. Eliot taught us that the novel doesn't exist without the reader. Thanks to those millions of readers Fifty Shades of Grey now became visual and it's... brilliant! Creating an aesthetic and tasteful BDSM movie seemed to be 'mission impossible'. There is only a number of directors who could make this happen. Sam Taylor-Wood managed to direct 125 minutes of pure beauty and art. There is so much luxury, exquisite locations, breathtaking places and most importantly amazing chemistry. Bow down! Taylor-Wood deserves 5/5 for her unbelievable work. It's so natural and light, an epic love story with a little déjà vu effect. There were obviously some moments of awkwardness and discomfort, but that again is unavoidable with a topic this delicate.

When the making of 50 Shades of Grey was announced the internet screamed Ian Somerholder, Alexis Bledel, Henry Cavill...! Vampire Diaries fans hoped to see a Salvatore brother in the Grey suit. We all had our opinions on the cast. Choosing 'newcomers' was definitely the smartest decision. Jamie Dornan is insanely hot and absolutely amazing for the role of Christian Grey. The  Irish actor used to model for Dior and Calvin Klein, now he became Hollywood royalty. Well deserved! He did a great job. (The toast scene, you know it!) But the shining star of this film is Dakota Johnson. Her aristocratic beauty made this movie so tasteful. She's flawless. Her incredible on-camera presence is breathtaking. Ana and Christian's chemistry was hypnotic. Dakota is the perfect innocent flower, this was an Oscar worthy performance!

Dakota shares the gold medal with the woman whose music made this movie so exquisite. My favourite track is definitely Haunted. Queen Bey's powerful voice, the addictive beat, the sensuality - Haunted is one of the best songs she's ever done. The first trailer already featured a remix of the power couple's anthem Crazy in Love. Wait until you see it in the movie, it's a match made in heaven! Beyoncé collaborated with Boots, who is famous for co-writing and producing many songs from her incredibly successful self-titled album. Bey, you really are the one and only reigning queen! And as we all know, there is no classic without the epic soundtrack. Also featured: The Weeknd, Ellie Goulding, Sia, Annie Lennox, Frank Sinatra and The Rolling Stones. Rita Ora makes a little appearnce as Christian Grey's sister Mia Grey. I can't wait for the second movie! What do you guys think?

All in all: 4.5/5 I can only  highly recommend the cinema visit. 50 Shades of Grey is certainly worth the hype!
