Harry Potter & THBP

Did we watch the same movie i mean come on it was a total disappointment as big a fan as i am of the books/movies this movie didn't even try ......TOOTP was rated pg 13....THBP was rated pg...there are so many things that could have been better.....TOOTP didn't follow the book word for word but was the best one yet......where was all the battles....why did the death eaters even need to show up???? all they did was brake a few cups and windows then run
 
LOTR snore-fest?!?!?? I went to the marathon screening the day before the release of Return of the King, Fellowship and Two Towers was the extended editions. I could have had them been longer and not been bored with them.

(y)(y)(y) Cheersfor longer LOTR movies!!!

I need to read the books...and then see the movies...after that I will cast judgement on them. :p;):D

:cheers

It took me two days to get through the theatrical version of Fellowship.
 
i wish the harry potter movies were longer.... obviously the books could be done justice then

i still love them...except for emma watson... she is an awful actress
 
I too wish the Potter movies were longer, especially OOTP. That movie seemed so rushed. Had I not read the book previously I think I would have been a little lost.

I know some people don't agree, but I see no problem with movies pushing the 3 hour mark...heck, if it needs to be, and you can pull it off, make it 4 or more! Especially for epics.
 
I am SOOOOOOOO disappointed with every HP movie but the first two. I love the books, having read them all numerous times, and to see them transferred into film so badly from 3 onward is incredibly frustrating. I understand cutting things out for time and all that, but why does it seem like they just tore up the books, randomly threw away half of the pages, then put the rest into a hat and whatever order they came out is the order that they went into the movie?

People may say "oh well its just little changes", but dialog, meaning, setting, and situation are not little changes, especially when it comes to a story that is so absolutely dependent on the little things that are so carelessly tossed aside by the film makers.

The problem comes when those responsible just don't care enough to do an acceptable job. Perfect example is Michael Gambon who plays the new dumbledore in all the "new" movies. He is quoted many times as saying that not only has he never read the books, but he never plans to, and instead just plays dumbledore as himself with a big beard. This shows through dramatically throughout his portrayal. Not once during any of his scenes has he captured the character he is portraying. Plus he's fat and short so that doesn't help :wacko He has turned one of the best, deepest characters in any story, into a walking, talking one-liner machine.
