I mean, yes, that's pretty cool to sit and read the first book, thinking that maybe you'll be able to leave your reality and find yourself in this magic world she created. No wait, fantasy was created long before Rowling! how shocking! (X.x). If I'll hear ever again, "I like Rowling better than Tolkien", I swear I'll stub this person to death. Not that I like Tolkien that much, I just believe idiots shouldn't exist. If you don't want to reveal your real intelligence quotient, I recommend not saying it in front of intellectuals... they'll just realize you're lying about yourself being 'smart'.
Now about the film, oh dear. I hope no one will kill me after saying it's one of the worse films I've ever seen in my whole life. I mean, beside a few Koreans and Americans junk pieces, I haven't seen such a bad film in a long while.
That goes for any aspect: acting, directing, filming, screen play, original book etc etc.
Like I said before, the idea of the book could be ok, though it was written horribly. I usually never read a book written like some dialog between 13 years old wanna be rebels who tell each other what happened the other day ("she told me... and than we went there... and saw... and than harry said"). However, this time I had to bear it, because sadly it was too famous for me to avoid. I had to read it to the end in order to say, surely, that no line, no idea - nothing - was written good. NO ONE can tell me anymore that I didn't finish this damn book and can't state my opinion.
Anyhow, as a film the last book could be pretty visual, filled with effects and no acting at all, but even that was missing (oh, unlike 'casshern' for example. They just knew what a horrible cast they had and actually faced this fact by creating a 'visual effects' film, not even trying to relay on the actors who just disappeared in the background). So basically, what I'm trying to say is, that the acting (all along the Harry Potter films) was low leveled as ever.
As children, they could still cover up the lack of their talent, but as soon as they grew up the cuteness vanished and anyone, who has any common sense, could tell they are pretty horrible. Well, other actors sell as well, since they're so hot. I guess that doesn't matter at all... acting... and talent, nah, who cares about those nowadays?
What disturbed me the most, was the fact that they do too many actions, or too less. Have you EVER seen a person argue with another, and in order to say a line he has to go across the room to the other side and say what he had on his mind?
And what about people who stand there, watching you, and just wait for you and your friend to tell bad stuff about one another... until they have their line to speak? I recommend watching the film again, with my point in your mind... you'll finally notice their acting is horrible. Face it, people, when you say something, no matter what, you have something you want to 'say' with your 'lines'. Same goes for the characters you play, they have the 'undertext'. What are you trying to say? don't think. Just feel. If you can't, just stop trying to act something... you'll just make a fool out of yourself.
Going back to the scene that so annoyed me in this film, I'm talking about the argue of Ron and Harry. I thought at first, when I saw it before the film, that it's a 'pre-production' scene that had nothing to do with the movie. But I was pretty wrong, actually. Without cutting anything out, they just played the scene as it is... making it look like a scene from some project of a (terrible, with no talent at all) team in the finals of the filming courses. I can actually show you this scene from another movie, 20 minutes long, took before the graduation of a person I knew. Might be funny to compare.
I just don't get how Shallow this movie went with all the fights because of envy... did I miss it in the book? or it wasn't there at all? Not bothered enough to look, I'm not that bored.
The point above just made it look like a really bad filmed teen, something, comedy, with low leveled romance and some dumb jokes (oh yes, Ron being kissed by a lady that thinks he's her husband. Hahaha... not).
Speaking of kisses, haven't harry potter kissed any possible girl in the whole films set? The scene with Harry and Hermione was completely stupid, in my eyes. Was it really everything that Ron saw there? That's just plain dumb... I'd say. Wouldn't be 'The Worse Nightmare' for me (or any other HUMAN).
"We've wondered what is it".Like seen above, the script is really 'seriously' thought of, indeed. Doesn't it sound great to speak like this in real life? I'd find such a thing completely dumb and laugh, probably. Once, I've tried to write a '20 minutes' script to a play that lasted 2 hours (original). I wanted to preform it in a festival. In the end, I gave up on it, since I actually can admit (unlike some of us, apparently) it failed. Now find the Similarities.
"What is it? well, the sign of the deathly hallows, of course".
"The what?".
"The deathly hallows".
It sounded actually like the book at some parts (which is not a compliment, since the book was so horrible), and the scenes seemed rushed and unorganized. Everything happened so fast and unrealistic, that made me sad. Not that I like Harry Potter, it just made me sad I'm wasting my time on watching such a junk only to put my ideals in place. No one will be able to tell me now, that this movie -- compared to the others -- was good. It wasn't.
What I did like, and could see it coming though, was the 'visual tale' that was made with animation. That was a good pick from the first place, because animation can show in many cases what other things can't show. I liked the feeling it delivered, and was pretty sad to go back to the film.
The ending was obvious, and everything went pretty obvious in the way the scenes were made, that's why I'm not appreciating the director at all. Even though I didn't expect much from the movie, or more likely I expected it to be too horrible to watch, yet I was dissapointed. Can you imagine how bad it was?
I'm starting to get the feeling that every film from now on, and every book as well will be really horrible. Why you ask? well, I haven't seen too many things from the past two years that were anything worthy to watch. It feels like humans forgot quality. Talented people who will make a breakthrough can't be found anywhere.
For the first time, pretty much, I feel completely lost and sad, as for the future of the sinking cultures that become one with the American industrylike idea. Everything, just one after another, loses it's wonderful concept and meaning.
Who really cares that Harry Potter is so horrible? It earned so much money. Who cares that children will read such a horrible book as Harry Potter? They don't read anything else anyway.
I don't want to think how this world will look in the future with no changes...I don't want to see the world so low. Let's just make a change and stop this madness, and try to make good pieces, and work hard to make everything better.
Because making something 'worth watching' for the humanity, means underestimating it. It means you don't believe those idiots, out there, on the streets, can read and watch good things too.
Just try it people, try making better things... and than the quality of the society, thinking and ideas will grow wider and wider.
I think that will be all for today, I'm happy I said what I had about this movie, about people in general and stated my mind. I guess most of you might say it's only my point of view, and that you enjoy movies with really good looking guys or girls... but take a deep breath and think. Think, if you can.
