New Harry Potter - Nov 18, 2005 16:20
Is anyone off to go see this? I' m not a fan, not by a long shot but I' m being dragged kicking and screaming to see the thing tomorrow night with my sister, her boyfriend and my lass. If I survive I' ll be back with my opinions of it.

Anyone else please, feel free to post away. No spoilers though please, some of us haven' t read the books :)

The new harry potter is too damn cool! From start to finish, not once does it get dull. And the tournament is the best part of the movie, what happends at the end is great tho, with harry taking on...you know who in a wizard fight!!!
what is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you and to hear the lamentation of their women!

Yeah, it was better than the last one and I loved the ending. There were some fairly strange things going on though and sometimes felt like 2 different movies welded together. One minute it' s a fantasy epic then suddenly a teen high school drama. Ron tells Harry to " Piss off" at one bit, which had me stunned and then laughing. Worth the price of admission alone

We had to suffer some cinema worker at the front trying to be entertaining while telling us that piracy was bad. While kids would have found his jokes and attempt at viewer feedback an entertaining distraction, at the 9pm showing I was at there were no kids.

If I don' t see it in the cinemas I will probably end up downloading it. I LOVED the first two but I thought the third was a bit crap(that' s just MY opinion). I don' t know why, but the second is my favourite.

Saw only the first three - and thought they were well made (each having individual high/low-points).

If for no other reason than to confirm what you already suspect, go see the movie.

My initially reaction was disappointment. I am a fan of the books, and I haven' t really enjoyed what they have done with the movies fully. I still enjoyed the movie and would rate it highly and I want to see it again, now that the preliminary shock and awe are over, I can appreciate the movie for what it is.
