Worth it ?

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2005)

Did anyone else think the movie was a bit off ? I mean, I know they can't put everything in the movie that was in the book, but come on, they missed so much. For instance, the lack of Weasleys, no Percy, Bill, Charlie or Mrs. Weasly. We barely see Sirius, no Dobby, no Winky, no S.P.E.W. They do explain the thing with Barty Crouch Jr. but they change the story so that he escaped from Azkaban but they said nothing about his Mother or being under the Imperius curse from his Father. Also, me and my friend were really looking forward to seeing them play at the Quidditch world cup, yes, they did go to the world cup, but you didn't even get to see the teams play. All in all the movie went by to fast for me, everything up to when the champions arrive was about what ten minutes? I found myself constantly saying, we are to that part already? What happened to this part or that part? I was also a little disappointed that Sirius barely made an appearance in the movie, was looking forward to the scene where he reveals himself to Mrs. Weasly and a whole lot of other scenes. However, the movie does have extremely funny parts and extremely sad parts. As a series kind of separate from the books it was a great movie (though, I was a tad disappointed in it all) though,compared to the books, it doesn't even hold a candle. Explanations about why things are done the way they are done, well, lets just say the movie just skims the explanations of it all, not really explaining anything at all. However, the end was very memorable, I just prefer the books over the movie.
