Hagrid & Bilbo

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2002)

I've been expecting this film for quite a long time,and since I live in The Netherlands movies always have some kind of delay. But yesterday, finally, the film arrived!!! I don't really know what I expected, but whatever it was, I didn't get it... But I don't mean this in a negative way. On the contrary, I loved it! Johnny Depp's got the funny accent pretty well done(better than Heather Graham), and he definedly did a good job portraying detective Abberline. SPOILER - SPOILER - SPOILER - SPOILER I never expected him to die in the end, that was a mayor surprise, but it was a nice touch. After all, the thing with Hollywood is, that most films are way too predicable. This one was, on several occasions, but then again, it wasn't. END SPOILER - END SPOILER - END SPOILER - END SPOILER The one problem was, that as soon as either Robbie Coltrane or Ian Holm appeared on screen, I couldn't stop thinking about Lord Of The Rings or Harry Potter - even though the movie absolutely had nothing in common with those two pictures...
