HP characters lost their character
At the theaters the story was way to hard to follow. It went way to fast. After taking weeks to read the book it is so dissapointing how the movie turned out.I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too. Some people say they left to much out some say it goes too fast. I think it is both. The reality is that it would have been a great 6 hour movie.I read in an interview before the movie came out that the kid actors were all getting better with their acting skills as they mature. Unfortunately you wouldn't notice. There's not much more than one liners, and all the dialogue has been cut to make way for the action parts. There isn't much "acting" at all. These kids did way more acting in the first three movies.I understand that this book's pace changes a bit, but the movies pace changes drastically. If you did not read the book you will be lost watching the movie. The pace of the movie leaves so much unexplained they assume you can fill in the blanks in your own mind.I can't wait till I get it on DVD though, I'm hoping it will feel slower because I have allready seen it.Don't get me wrong I'm still a huge fan. I still loved this movie. I'm just spoiled by the pace, depth of the characters, and charm of the first three.
