‘s . Well, it seems the townsfolk aren’t too pleased with the movie and are dragging it for . Nothing could persuade me to watch a movie more than Dakota Johnson doing an English accent while being torn between the insanely hot and the equally as mesmerising . Sounds pretty perfect, right? However, it seems that not all is well in the world of Netflix’s . Before we get into why the film is being roasted, let’s watch the trailer, which is honestly fkn great. The main problem folks are having with the flick? Well, it tries to make the language modern while keeping it set in 1817.

All of this hate is kind of making me want to watch the movie more. Honestly, I’ll do anything to see more Henry Golding.
