    GrandShadow I accept your challange.

    just saw the midnight showing. i have to say the movie does quite well. as the commercials lead you to believe it does play up the romantic comedy role. but its done very little in the latter half of the movie which is really nice as the jokes get old pretty quick.

    Harry's and Dumbledore's trip towards the end is undoubtably the best part of the movie. The inferi are done so well that some could call it a mild horror. despite knowing it was coming, many at the theater jumped when the appeared. (shamefully i did as well)

    Draco's conversation with Dumbledore is cut severely short as is the large battle. Its cut down to barely five minutes of talk before running from the castle while Bellatrix blasts everything she sees laughing like the maniac she is. Snape's revalation is cut down to him declaring he's the Half-Blood Prince and then running. it isn't elaborated on anymore then that. Dumbledore's memorial is completely cut out, which is sad considering how well that scene could have been.

    overall if you've read the books then movie 6 is an average but pale story. however if you've been going by the movies then it is an excellent trip with plenty of laughs and action to keep you waiting for the next. Me personally as a fan of both, can't wait to see how they do book 7.

    now i want to know what all of you think? did you enjoy the movie or did you think it was bad?

    that was a bad movie, had barley anything to do with the book(well they did but...) all the good parts were short like you said, i wanted to see like the werewolf dude, it was good but, i wouldn't see it again. they made Ginny and Harry's role bad i think.

    that disapointed me too. i was hoping to see Fanrir (i think thats his name) in more then just 3 scenes. he played a major role in the final battle of book 6 but since they cut that out it makes sense that they cut his role short.

    i thought that Ginny and Harry did great in the movie. what didn't you like?

    well one ginny was like tall as him. two he was supposed to kiss her after the macth and RH thing was dumb. and the half blood book thing should have been better, and i was mad they didn'thave the battle, the way dumladore died was dumb without the battle, and i hate the guy that plays dumladore, ht first one ways how i picuted him. but no, he diedddddd! the thrid one ways bette than that, they put in sences that wernt there, like at the weaslys house.

    Over all I thought it was good, but like Answer, I was severely disappointed that there was no climatic battle between the Death Eaters and the students like I remember there being -or maybe that's my imagination-. I was also disappointed as to why Snape called himself the "Half Blood Prince", because that would have made a very nice little piece. However I suppose they assume their audience has read the books so it's natural.

    And Answer you have to realize that they're not going to expect you to nit-pick at ever detail. So the actor was slightly taller than Harry's. No biggie. And yeah, I would have preferred them to have made Harry and Ginny kiss after the quiditch match because it was important for character development. After all Harry was conflicted with dating Ginny.

    I was VERY dissapointed in the lack of action the movie had. The only two good, oh wait i mean JUST the only two, action sequences was when Bellatrix and Fenrir attacked and when Draco and Harry were fighting (I did like Sectusempra though). And I think it's dumb that they are going to make the Seventh Book into two movies because it was "too long". I was on chapter 8 the first day I got it! Also, the movies have tried to be funnier and funnier lately (Although I nearly cried when Harry got high off of the Felix Felicis and when Slughorn pulled the fang off of Aragog)

    But if they keep trying to make it funnier with each movie it'll end up like the Child's Play movies.

    GrandShadow I accept your challange.

    i still don't believe that's Aragog. remember movie 2? how huge he was? and now he's that small? that's got to be one of his million kids.

    i was thinking the same thing. but the older you get, you shrink. He just shrank A LOT!

    I also enjoyed Harry's humor when he took the liquid luck.

    Hagrid: "I suppose it's they eyes. Scares some people, they do."

    Harry: "And the pincers!" *makes pincer like movements with fingers in front of face.

    the funny parts where funny, even the battle with the werewolf dude and that girl was boring, one big attack, that fire. and dumbloders big fire thing was cool to but still...., i dont really care for the taller part, i'm just supried that the weasly people where all so tall, I mean she like fifteen! they didn't show nevlie as much as they should, and without the big battle, than what about Bill? and snapes part was dumb, with the battle it would ahve been more darmaitc. snape was still cool. and draco(always like them)

    Felix Felicis!Harry was hilarious~ <3

    I thought the movie was great. <3 I do agree about the lack of action, but I didn't mind it as much 'cause I considered this movie as a setup for the last one. It's like the calm before the storm, I suppose.

    I guess they're saving all the epic battle scenes for Deathly Hallows~

    why split though? I think London should make their on harry potter movie.
     
  17. GrandShadow

    GrandShadow I accept your challange.

    London's movie companies didn't want to. then the first movie came out and it was to late as the rights were already sold to us americans.

    and 7 is being split into 2 movies because unlike the others, 95% of the book is vital info. the other 6 had stuff you could shorten or remove. The only thing that you could shorten in this one is the wedding. everything else is vital and it can't be taken out. so thier splitting the book into 2 movies so they can keep all the info.

    i still think london could have been better.

    Ventus Kickass Keyblader!

    I thought the movie was excellent. The best in the series, in my opinion. Better acting, better story and more action scenes. It even had scenes that weren't in the book. Best one by far. Nice camera angles too.
     
  20. Answer Man

    Answer Man Man I'm Awesome

    good camera angles yes, no good fight scenes no good story line, worst to number three, i hated it. if the old director was there, it would have been better.
