I feel like I should scream SPOILER ALERT, but it's not really!  I mean come on, I'm a reviewer by nature so of course I'm going to review the trailer.  Did I like the trailer....yes. But here's my issue, I think I was a little too excited to see it.  Does that make sense?  Like no matter how mind blowing the trailer it wouldn't live up to the hype.  Yes I enjoyed it, but the opening scene with Anastasia Steele walking out of the elevator into Grey headquarters felt uncomfortable.  And I know, these are bits and pieces of a 2 hour movie shoved into less than 2.5 minutes, but even then it felt like there needed to be more.  You do get more at the end, it's that few seconds of hot that we were all looking for to find out if it was going to live up to the books.  I've watched it over and over, I've tried to pinpoint the things I liked and didn't like to figure out what my brain is actually thinking. 

 

The opening scene with Anastasia and Christian made me cringe a bit, it seems they made Anastasia a bit more meek and shy than I had her out to be in my mind.

 

The glimpse of the elevator scene and the glider scene made me giggle with glee, amazing how even after reading the book over a year ago I can spot those exact points in the book.

 

The last few seconds, I was too busy watching to count how long it lasted, made me curse the wait until release! 

 

And if you didn't watch the interview with Dakota and Jamie after the trailer was over go back to the top and do it!  Talk about AKWARD!  I've never seen two actors seem so uncomfortable on set.  We've seen Jamie Dornan in hundreds of interviews and he's so incredibly relaxed and sexy.  But this interview made me squrim, and not in a good way.  The interaction between the lead actors has me seriously biting my nails because if they have that little chemistry on screen, if Dakota is that quiet and shy during an interview, how in the HELL is this going to work!!!! 

 

 

So...What did you think?
