View Full Version : New film release -Harry Potter happylady 19-07-2007, 16:37 Any one been to see it yet. What do you think? Might be going at the weekend fox20thc 19-07-2007, 16:39 Not yet, saving it for the school holidays :D Ginger_Kitty 19-07-2007, 16:41 I've not read the book of this one yet, but it was very good :) not as long as the others i've seen though, this one was only 2 hours, i'm more used to 3... easier for kids to sit through though :) happylady 19-07-2007, 18:09 not taking kids just me and the hubby - sitting on the back row and all that!! Antics^^ 19-07-2007, 18:50 Surprisingly I really enjoyed it where as my girlfriend (HP mad) didn't think it was that great. She enjoys the books more, people say that it isn't a great conversion from a 800+ page book to movie. Not much happens as it's a kind of set up to the penultimate film but I was still entertained! emma2686 19-07-2007, 20:00 not taking kids just me and the hubby - sitting on the back row and all that!! It's been a while since I had someone to do that with :( I went to see this one with my sister! mrmist 19-07-2007, 20:01 Yep, seen it. Seen all of them. Pretty good. I thought that it felt a bit rushed, even at 2 hours long. Really it's getting to a point where these shouldn't be "kid movies" and intentionally short. Not enough Tonks. Rich 19-07-2007, 20:05 I might be going tomorrow to see it. Was planning to go up to Leeds or somewhere on Train but if weather turns nasty as is threatened, I've got a back up plan of going to see either Potter or Hairspray. camping_gaz 19-07-2007, 21:17 didn't think it was that great it more or less said see you next time its just carrying on the same story wher it would be better if there was a new story line each time Dark Moomin 20-07-2007, 08:52 I think it was a good film, but suffered in the stiry line cuts from the book. I appreciate they couldn't include all the intracies - but I think alot was lost from the Ministry at the end where that was cut - George and Fred leaving is one of the best bits of all the books so far and was cut down - but it was still entertaining and ther OPH who hasn't read the books still mostly followed the story. its hard to be objective though because I automatically fill in the gaps when watching them so it automatically makes sense to me. A good effort though, I like the way the characters continue to grow, and the feel of the film, anger, frustration, quite hormonal etc does mirror that in the book. banesmabes 20-07-2007, 12:35 It wasn't bad to say that the book was just 700-pages of the 'middle' of the story, with no plot within itself as the earlier books had. I surprised at how little certain characters were in the film compared to the book - e.g. Tonks, the whole Percy vs rest of the Weasleys fued, etc. But the acting performances were pretty good - even Daniel Radcliffe! sezemeseeds 20-07-2007, 13:26 not a speck on the book, but how could it be, would be 7 hours long otherwise. You have to be a big Harry Potter I think to understand a lot of whats going on, the feelings of Harry and the like. I have been to see it 3 times up to now ( I know) and I loved it. but I'm a big big fan. Am on edge just waiting for the new book to be delivered tomorrow!!!!!! but go and see it. is best Harry Potter film yet. |
