Harry Potter 7 Good or Bad

I have never seen the movie myself yet but id like to hear how it was.|||And looking up reviews online is way too much work.|||It's pretty good, my wife loved it. I'm not to much of a HP fan but I gotta say the 6th and 7th(last) were worthy of a movie ticket.

So is it worth seeing, if your a HP fan then heck ya. If ya just want to see a good movie,... American pride, American Hero, THE Captain of America is coming out this weekend...../yes!|||HEY!! movie review thread that the one and only Lovely Leo (aka MEEE!!!) did in the movie rview thrwead! it's stickeided at the top of the forums! not being an asshole, im just a TAD drunk! go look there! i rated it a 9/qo! go read it! NAOW!!!!|||I was satisfied that it kept fairly true to the book (which I have read a vast year or two ago so I can't say how true... the parts I remembered where there though). Maybe I came in expecting too much, or wanting too hard for the movie to fail (for whatever reason). The audience started clapping twice during the movie for some odd reason (who the hell is gonna hear them? Neither the director, the actors, nor probably anyone involved with the movie is there, so who are they clapping for exactly? The screen?).

I might be too harsh on the movie because two days before it I went to see Transformers. I'm not a big fan of the plot myself (big robots attack, geeky kid with an ego and anger management problems along with his ironically hot girlfriend have to save the world). What gets me every time with those Transformer movies is the smoothness of the action scenes, when the robots transform from cars to the two-legged forms, and the excellent use of slow motion to show case the bad-assness of the scene. I don't know who does the effects in that movie, but they deserve a medal. These things look so natural as if they were completely real.

Overall... it was okay. Nothing special, but at the same time, it's a good movie. A 7/10 from me.|||Why I didn't see it: monochrome.

Well, maybe they call it something else, but the HP, Pirates, and LotR movies all use this technique. When someone is feeling blue, they make everything on the screen black and blue. Acting and writing should portray the atmosphere, not desperate reliance on one color. It's almost like watching in black and white, and it destroys verisimilitude by forcing in an unnatural color tone. Sometimes they go black and green instead of black and blue, but w/e, you can tell they chucked millions of dollars into the wrong things that do nothing for the movie.

Yes, this completely ruins the whole movie for me. I will not watch B&W in a modern movie.|||I passed. My friends said that last four have been quite close to Twilight.|||There's a debt to Harry Potter you will not find in Twilight, which every time I see and hear it just looks like it walked out of a cheap romantic novel.

I've just been to the movie and it was pretty ok. I do know the books and they stayed reasonably closed to it, didn't focus on the fighting scenes too much, and the casting's brilliant.

I'm also glad I didn't go and see the 3D version. It's not filmed 3D, so it's just things popping out a 2D background, and even before I had seen the movie I could guess which things would be popping out if it were the 3D version.

Even in the 2D version you could see that: dragon, snake, waterflow. So predictable.

Plus: Alan Rickman.|||Harry Potter is a lot better than twilight (having seen/read) both series. If you've seen the previous movies then it's definitely worth watching it as a conclusion if nothing else.|||Quote:










Plus: Alan Rickman.
