    I thought it was better than the other movies but I still didnt like it all that much.

    Seriously, they just left out so many good things.

    Hermione looked like she was going to kiss Harry half the time as well, mainly at the end.

    Liked Voldemort's wand though. It looked like it was made out of bone even though its supposed to be yew. It looked cool.

    The Cruciatus looked retarded... seriously. When it was put on Harry it just looked funny.

    Wormtail didnt even look hurt from cutting his hand off... like, he screamed a little and thats it, lol. He must be tough.

    Thats enough... cant be fucked going on.

    Too right on that point Syaoran it was pathetically done, looked like a poor excuse for an epiliptic fit. I'm sorry guys but i have to state it again WHAT THE FUCK was with the eyes?! so much for being red pffft, i hade such high expectations.

    You wouldn't expect Voldemort to sound so British methinks...more like a high-pitched hissing.

    I didn't much care for his voice, but the way the book makes him sound, it's as if Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks is talking with a lisp. Totally wouldn't translate well to the screen me thinks, heh

    At my computer. Obviously.
    If I was JK Rowling I wouldn’t have let anyone even think about a film until the series was completed, then a competent screenwriter could sit down and plan out how the films would go from start to finish. That way the right things would be cut or events/references could be moved around slightly from year to year, if needed for the movies. Allowing the films to be made with increasingly little input from the author, on a book series that is not yet complete, is just plain stupid. Maybe in 40 years or so we’ll get a remake that will actually be worth watching.

    I was going to make this point myself but my mind was still stuck on those stupid arse butterflies. JK should have at least made sure the screenplays contained all the major plot points needed.

    Yes.

    Voldemort had a very important line that he didnt use in the movie. It comes back in the sixth book and interlocks with the Horcruxes making it important when Dumbledore is trying to explain what got him thinking more about Voldemort's past, ect. Very bad move.

    i saw it yesterday, oh make that 2 days ago, its now past midnight.

    It was a passable film i suppose, but rubbish harry potter film. Most of th special effects, ie the spells and such were badly done.

    The ferret scene probably couldn't be done according to the book because animal rights protesters would be on their backs the moment it was released for showing a ferret get whacked into the floor.

    Moody himself was gay, the eye, his habit of throwing things, his drinking attitude, his staff (is that even mentioned in the book) and worst of all. The way he holds his wand. ARGH

    The ritual in the graveyard had the lines mucked up. It says (quote form book, british version page556 and 557) "Bone of the father, unknowingly given, you will renew your son." "Flesh of the servant willingly given you will revive your master" "Blood of the enemy forcibly taken you will resurrect your foe". The film doesn't have that.

    Then there were the death eaters. Did someone just dump 5 KKK's in a barrel of tar or something and then forget to feather them. And why were there only about 5 death eaters? I always pictured DE masks as either sort of ski masks, or masks kinda like the Phantom of the Opera has. Not like it was in the film.

    And then the portkey was gay, i won't go any further into it.

    Then apparation was ~shudders~

    ~is now stopping before it really becomes an angry rant~

    Oh and one last thing. The friend I went with I am now considering disowning. HE LIKED IT! :wall: how could he like it?

    Portkeys were pathetic. What was that with them all falling out of the sky, then the three walking down out of the sky? I imagined that portkeys just threw off your equilibrium and that's why you fell, as you tried to correct. Maybe you might appear a little above ground, but not ten bloody feet.

    Yeah them surviving a fall like that, and then folks in Quidditch falling and being injured from a relativley short distance in the other movies, doesn't match well.

    They should let ME rewrite Cedric's death. I would make it so painful and humiliating.
