I hope you love it!!!!
i got to see you today!!! eeee!
eeeee i saw it today too eeeee! SO GOOD HEY!
i've seen it - it was boring...
You are lucky I didn't delete that comment, young man. Boring? Everyone is entitled to his or her oppinion, but really now. I had taken for granted you had some taste, but I feel I have been proven wrong.
In what was it boring for you? Did you feel it did not do the book justice? Did you dislike the director they chose this time? Are you not a fan of good acting? Maybe you just don't like fantasy. Or Brits. Ahhh... perhaps that is the problem. Well, Defend yourself!
I do like Brits - mainly on account of bring one :D
However I disliked the book as I believe it was nowhere near as good as the book. To a degree its the same way with mosts films that were books first (except, he adds hastily Lord of The Rings, which was sensational!) there is always a severe lack of character development usually in order to make the most of the plot which, in my humble opinion, undermines a lot of the good work that J.K. Rowling did when she wrote the book.
I also believe that the HP films have been altered slightly to meet the christmas kids audience in that they are nowhere near as dark as the books!
Overall I was just not impressed with the film as a whole! Hope that answers your questions? laters, Mike :D
i beleive i meant to say "However I disliked the film as I believe it was nowhere near as good as the book."
so much for a strong and cohesive argument...
First off, I for some reason assumed you were a different Mike (now I recall his signin name is "Michael") and I probably wouldn't have given you so much trouble. No. I would have. :)
Well, I agree, the lack of character development is always a given dissapointement, as is the toning down for children. But - the books are for children as well! There are a lot of things that are one thing to read and a whole other ball game to watch. So I am totally okay with them being on the 'for kids' side. But... I thought this one was better than the others as for keeping together as a film. And keeping to the book. The book is longest Ever and so loads had to be cut, but I thought what they kept in was great. The movie is never as good as the book, I agree. I disagree that it is not the case with LOTR because I personally can hardly handle The Two Towers. Talk about loosing character development!! Ahhh!! But still forgivable because obviously Peter Jackson did the absolute best that could ever be done - nearly justice - to the book. (My personal one exception of "better than the book" is "Runnaway Jury". crappy book.)
It is true, though... as exctied as I get for the movies (oh so excited), there is nothing like the HP books. Ahh... the 4th holds such a place in my heart, as I have read most of it aloud (I guess the 5th, too) and Rowling does a brilliant job with the phonetic accents written in. Love it.
K. wow. I do blab, don't I? Well, thnks for explaining yourself.
:D (hehe)
