UTTER DISAPPOINTMENT

Rating: Null/10 (26 June 2004)

I just got back from seeing Harry Potter and the POA and I am UTTERLY MAD. The movie didn't do the book justice by a long shot! I think that that Alfonzo guy did a half asked job on the movie. I mean, it didn't follow the book worth crap! I mean common- if a movie is made after a book it should follow it pretty well - look at SS and COS. It skipped 4 chapters in the beginning and left out some major parts in the end. Not to mention all the foreshadowing that was supposed to be done that wasn't. And the set and Hogwarts grounds were completely different. Ugh it just all around ticked me off. And they should have done a butt load of coaching for Michael Gambon (the new Dumbledore). He didn't have the characteristics that were expected of Dumbledore. NOw for a TOTAL Harry Potter fan like me, this is like the apocalypse. WHY Didn't CHRIS COLOMBUS DO IT??? I thought that the actors were capable of a better job, so why didn't Alfonso give them that opportunity? AND WHERE DID THE TALKING HEAD COME FROM?
