Brilliant!!!

Rating: Null/10 (22 November 2005)

I read a lot of the comments on here and I, for one, cannot believe that some people hated this movie. Nevertheless, I respect your opinion. I just don't understand why. Sure, they cut out a lot. But honestly, the film still had substance and an excellent plot without the Dursleys or Molly Weasley or Winky. That was just excessive detail. Maybe it would have been nice to have it, but then you'd have been complaining that the movie dragged on and on. And I know some people think it would have been better as two movies, but if you think about it, would you have really wanted the movie to stop halfway through and then wait months to see the next half? Highly doubt it. I know I wouldn't have. People said, "If you're a true Harry Potter fan, don't waste your money on this movie." Well, I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan and I feel that it was worth it because I'd definitely see this movie again. I even shed a few tears to be honest. I'm just not that picky about details in the adaptation because I know there's only so much that the cast and crew can do. I thought it was amazing. Here are some reasons why: - Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson's acting have improved greatly. They were superb. - The effects and graphics were fantastic. - There was actually a plot. Those are just basic reasons. Personal reasons include: - I was seriously wowed. - My eyes were practically glued to the screen. - I liked that they still added some humour (like the bathtub scene with Harry and Moaning Myrtle; that was gold) - It made me cry. - I'd see it again for sure! This week, even! Improvements that could've been made (not many): - The beginning didn't have to be so incredibly rushed, but I guess it wasn't as exhilarating as the part we were all looking forward to--the TriWizard Tournament. - I will agree with you GoF movie-haters that Dumbledore wasn't himself. I agree that Richard Harris was much more suited (honestly, he was awesome *moment of silence*). But what can we do about it now? At least Harry, Ron, and Hermione all did excellent performances. EEEEK, I can't wait for the 5th movie. If this one was so amazing, imagine how awesome the next one will be!
In a nutshell: A MUST-SEE!!! You may or may not like it; I don't know. But if you are a Harry Potter fan, check it out!!!
