lack of tension...

Rating: 3/10 (11 December 2005)

As much as I love the books, I hafta say that the movies kinda rot. They didn't insist upon John Williams for the 4th score, they've changed directors how many times, and they used different filming techniques. There is little continuity, though the sets of the 3rd and 4th are closer in similarity than from the first two... I realize it's a 733 page book, but they should have at least ensured that viewers would understand the plot without having read the book first. The climax was rushed, the tension not nearly as steep as the original work. They didn't supply reasons as to why certain events happened. Mff, okay that's all I have to say.
