I think there are problems with the movies - but nothing compared to the attrocities committed in Lord of the Rings.

I liked the Ringwraiths in LOTR. I thought they did a good job on those. Big, scary, don't mess with me kind of thing. But the way the demndy-whats-its were done they looked kind of...hollow or that there was nothing on under there hoods. Oh, and I have something I don't like about the demndy-whats-its, why did they nearly suck Sirius soul out? I'm also confused about how they managed to do this wihtout lowering there hoods. And why did Sirius astop breathing when they took his soul out? You don't die...oyu just are. IF that makes any sense.
I said before that I didn't like the scene between Harry and Siruis when Sirius is about to escape becasue I didn't think it portaryed there relationship very well...well I still think that of it but it they do the other movies with he and Harry having the same kind of relationship then it'll be okay. It was touching and that scene is the only scene (besides Hermione hitting Malfoy) that I really almost liked. And why has Malfoy suddenly turned into a snivleing little brat? He was always mean and never very nice nor did he have a butt load of courage but he was never a wimpering little wuss. Just htought I'd that.

Werewolf
I absolutly HATED the way that they portrayed the werewolf. In the book, they tell the differences between the actual wolf and the werewolf and nowhere does it mention that the werewolf was bipedal. I thought it was completly ridiculous. Another thing, they most certainly did not explain the animagus thing well enough. This was a movie for people who've already read the book. If you hadn't read it, you wouldn't know what the hell was going on. Plus, WHERE WAS SEAN BIGGERSTAFF??? Where were the quidditch games? There aren't going to be any in the next movie because of the Triwizard Tournament, so we should have been able to stare at Oliver Wood as much as possib-er, I mean, watched the riveting sport of quidditch as much as possible.

No, it wasn't as horrible as the stuff PJ did to LOTR but that is not enough complaining! I will always hate that movie. And I will never stop compalining about it. Besides no one's answered my question.

I saw it a second time and now I rememer the quick season changes - and when it is snowing in the movie he knocks over a bunch of christmas carolers.
But still, the quick changing seasons do not really fit well into the story. At the beginning of the year there is the boggart and lupin saying "well i guess ill have to teach you" and then AFTER the snow - which would be months later is harry getting his first lesson from him.

Harry Potter
I liked it however I felt it was very rused in the middle and they didn't get all the much needed information that's in the books.

You know, Harry knocking over all those carolers and leaving feet prints(?) would have casue a mass panic. Everyone would have thought it was Sirius.
Where is Ron's new cutesy owl? I liked him.

I must buy this soundtrack. I love the music for the Knight Bus, which someone described as a "schizophrenic Cantina Band". The soft theme that is most noticeable when Lupin is talking to Harry on the bridge is gorgeous in an "Across the Stars" way with a hint of "Braveheart" due to the instrumentation. The music in the Renaissance style is brilliant. One of the great things is the wide variety of genres and styles present. And Williams doesn't beat you over the head with what is the most recognizable Harry Potter theme, which is a good thing. Oh yeah, his setting Macbeth to music is great. Anyway, carry on about the evils of the movie. I just had to get that out of my system.

Did you know?
Did you know that on the DVD of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban don't expect many deleted scenes (according to Entertainment Weekly). It says that at 2 hours, 21 minutes, Azkaban is the shortest Potter flick yet, despite springing from the longest book of the three-and the cutting happened before a frame of film was shot.

I will be getting the soudtrack too. I liked the music and that was a very good thing they did with it.
I'm still confused about the shrunken heads though. What do expect from a movie that cuts out half of the information in the book?

im going to see it tommorrer (yes backwards australia is finally getting it ) im really interested with what this new director will be like, and with a name like Alfonso im expecting a triumph... personally while i have only seen a couple of (un-enticing) pictures of Lupin, i think Gary Oldman as Sirius looks awesome, he has acting ability hopefully it works

I saw it at the weekend. It's my favourite of the three so far (though that might be down to being aff ma pus when I saw it).
The bus was great, and the time thing worked really nicely. They didn't try to overdo it. Nice, seamless transition to Michael Gambon as Dumbledore On the down side: - The kids' acting remains pretty dire, especially Ron. He makes the Double Deckers seem like Richardson and Gielgud. Hermione's probably the best. - The transition from "Sirius the baddie" to "Sirius the surrogate parent" was clumsy and nonsensical. Other than that, jolly good fun. Even better seeing it with Dutch subtitles. Can't remember any of them, but they have different names for lots of the characters, presumably to get onomatopoeic and cultural references across. |

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Fimbrethil
[1)The acting in the movie sucked! Remus...okay but they could have gotten someone better. And Sirius? what are you on!? they were brilliant! the acting was superb. Their only faults are being over the age of 40 when remus and sirius are only 33 (Snape as well) in the third book. 5) Sirius as the dog was way to small. Is your dog a small elephant then? 13) The maurders map would have been way smaller. yeah. uh huh. hogwarts on an indexcard. suuuure. 14) Where the heck was Oliver!!!!!!!!!!!????????????? This I agree on. No olly! for him I mourn truthfully, some of your opinions are pissing me off- but your sarcasm is rather amusing. All in all I hated it and personally if the same person directs the next movie I won't be going to see. I'd liek to know what JKR was thinking when she allowed them to release this "movie". oh, grow up- was better than the first two under chris columbus! also- Is JKR's fav, movie (her website) in response to the second bit- Alfonso Cuaron is a brilliant, man, but he will rather unfortunately not be directing teh fourth movie (wehich is already filming and being directed by Mike Newell. good luck to you, mr. Newell.) |
