FIFTY SHADES OF GREY was better than I expected. I did not read the books and have no intention to do so, but I must praise Dakota Johnson for her nuanced performance here. The Christian Grey character felt weak, but Dakota gives oomph to an otherwise -- ahem -- flaccid film. It wasn't the sex fantasy everyone had hoped for, I know, but by taming it, I enjoyed the softer side of their relationship. The more emotional undercurrents showed a little, which I think was beneficial. I know it didn't live up to the hype, but I enjoyed it and look forward to the sequel.
