worst one so far

Rating: 3/10 (20 July 2007)

I admit the shortening was not done that bad, we got a nice whole story, but some things were just missing. Seriously, I can understand that they can't do the whole book exactly like it is, but there are some little things that are important, perhaps not for the plot of this movie, but for the two coming up, like Ginny having a boyfriend (as for her "giving up" on Harry), or Ron and Hermione being prefects. Of course it may be, that these things seem only important to me.. whatever, I missed these things,although not as much as I missed Quidditch, which did not occur at all =( OK, I CAN see, that it is not really sufficient for the whole story, and takes precious time away, but I can still miss it, right? And what was that about the completely different Dementors? I mean, OK, different director, different style, but this? They weren't even hooded... So I didn't like the dementors, but I really liked the Ministry of Magic, the Atrium looked fabulous, I just loved that scene, although that big Fudge picture was a bit funny. (perhaps a bit too dictator-like..) The worst scene was the one in the Department of Mysteries. I was really disappointed by that scene. They really should have done that circular room and at least some of the other rooms as well. I don't care tooooo much about the other things I missed, but this really sucked. I mean, how could they leave out that room of time, the Death Eater with the baby face, the brains in the tank? And of course, my favourite, Ron behaving strange, laughing about everything, and calling out something like "Look, there are brains in there. Brains... Accio brain!" and actually summoning a brain. And not just the Department itself, but Sirius' death.. THAT really was the worst part of the scene. They actually managed to do it so badly, that I felt absolutely nothing about seeing one of my favourite characters die (I cried a LOT when I read the book) and like that wasn't enough, they even make you forget about his death in less than a minute, as no one really seems to care about it. So they really did a bad job on the end, which is really really bad, because it's THE END, and even if you enjoyed the movie until then, you go out of the cinema with that horrible ending on your mind and end up hating the whole movie, just like I did.
