Harry Potter


Well, I saw Harry Potter this weekend and although I've read the book, and thought the movie was quite good, I also found it to be a downer.


SO, I would have to say that if you are feeling down don't go see this movie, unless you are in to that sort of thing.

I heard a rumor from a friend (who may even be reading this) that originally the director (Nolan) wanted to split the story into two film and I think that would have been a great idea.
This film was a wee bit episodic and I think rushed in getting all the info and events out.

Also, "The Goblet of Fire" really stands on the shoulders of the films before it. This may seem obvious, but really, if you have not seen the prior three films don't see this one until you have watched them. You won't have a clue because the assumption is you have already watched them. And let's be honest, if you have not watched them why on earth would you be watching "The Goblet of Fire."

My rating: 4.5 out of 5

My favorite is still the first just on charm and that sense of wonder but this is probably my second favorite of the four movies.

Anyway, I might leave an audio blog but until then try and stay out of trouble.


;-)

P.S. In case you are wondering the shot above was not in the finished film. Hmm deleted scene me thinks.
