Bring back Alfonso Cuaron....

Rating: 7/10 (2 December 2005)

I'm sorry, but I think that Alfonso could have brought this book to life much better than the new director. It was still a good flick, but it was supposed to be GREAT! I mean they completely cut dobby and the female house elf that was introduced in the book causing the movie to take a different route to the end which is upsetting. But they did an awesome job recreating lord voldemort and the triwizard tournament...its just how they got there thats upsetting. Is there something so wrong about creating a movie that is three hours long, so that they can do a better job at covering the important parts in the books? I have heard arguments about the movies being targeted towards a younger demographic, but I have to ask, what is the age of the average demographic going to see it? I'd estimate and say 25. And I think that'd be young....OH one more complaint: the face in the smoldering embers is not what I, or anyone I know, Imagined when they were communicating thru fire. It looked ridiculous and made no sense...
