Awesome movie...maybe better the the first 2.

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2004)

I thought the movie was spectacular. I love how the director make it dark to sort of match the theme of this part of the series. On that note of the director I would like to point of other than the way he shot the movie, I thought he sucked a a director. For one I hated how he opted to have the movie short, and in the finished product he didn't put little parts of the story in the correct sequence from the book, making it obvious. I for one I wonder if the guy read the book and second cared if he was getting it right. I did love the movie but the way it was put together in some areas and especially the ending sucked. Adding 10 to 15 more minutes would have done the movie a lot more good than harm. What also bugged me were the fade ins and outs wit the hole circle to cut to another scene. It worked for one part of the movie but then the others were just thrown in. I am glad this guys is not directing the fourth film. But I thought the movie overall not looking at those aspects was brilliant. I thought the character have improved a lot and found it nice to be more grown up, though I do still wish they would shoot back to back. But I hope they keep one with the films so the main characters never become new actors. These films kick butt!!!!!!
