The Doctor Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 How dare you insult Tim Burton! Most of his films are amazing. in my opinion >.> How exactly they could qualify as even mediocre is beyond me, to be honest. Amazing is a maddening stretch of logic and taste. Quentin Tarantino > Sir Carol Reed > Sir Ridley Scott > Tim Burton I could just be stringing together names of famous directors with pretty arrows or I could be informing you of some eternal truth. We'll never know. I certainly don't. ... the fact that you've put Tim Burton in the same league as Reed and Scott makes my soul grow cold. But I shall refrain from posting my off topic ramblings. My apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpentine Cougar Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Serpentine: Its not just, you, I was thinking that as I watched the trailer. " mumble mumble -Memory- mumble mumble -Voldemort-" Its a shame the 1st Dumbledore actor (Richard Griffiths I believe) died. He made a good Dumbledore. I actually like this guy better ('cept for the mumbling) - the first Dumbledore seemed too feeble and breathy. Why can't Dumbledore just speak clearly?!

Talak Sana Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I liked the first actor better too. Same goes for the first films and books. I disliked the last book and the film, because they seemed like a birthday present to an emo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Fett Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 The first actor played the part much better IMO. Not sure how exactly, but I just preferred him. Pity he died. R.I.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnseyy Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 The first actor played the part much better IMO. Not sure how exactly, but I just preferred him. Pity he died. R.I.P Indeed... poor guy. He was better because he was nice and had a friendly air to him. This new one is so... angry. it's like they grabbed some old time criminal off the street and passed him off for the nicest guy in the world. Anywho, I didn't think 6 was AS good as it could have been. I mean she made my favourite character depressed. How JKR figured that, I don't know. ps. Dumbledore was ACTUALLY gay.

Q Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Its a shame the 1st Dumbledore actor (Richard Griffiths I believe) died. He made a good Dumbledore.It was Richard Harris. And yes, he was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGH ON PIE 14 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Ah yes, my mistake. Poor guy...R.I.P. Oh, yes I heard somthing about Dumbledore´s sexuality. It came from JKR, did it not, when she was asked about the lack of gay characters? Or did they mean the actor? The new Dumbledore lacks that aura of niceness that the book Dumbledore has in my opinion. Too serious. Burnseyy: what character was that in the 6th book? Harry? Sorry, but its hard to tell as many6 of the characters were depressed in that book. (well, except for Luna ) Not as cheery as the other books IMO. Understandable, given the siutuations they were all put in. But Harrry in the 5th film, did seem a little too depressed. He was more determined and a bit more happy in the book. -HOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverNight Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Let's face it, the movies after the second one suck. I mean, the Third movie was absolutely HORRIBLE, they mangled it and disfigured it until they made it into their own twisted version of what they felt Harry Potter should be. The fourth movie is the only one after Chamber of Secrets I actually enjoyed. Third was horrible, and the Fifth was... ... ... ... ... ... I just cannot find the words to express it without breaking the rules here. But, with any luck, this one it going to be better than the third and fifth... after all, its HBP, they can't mangle it further than the book was mangled already... right?

Gurges-Ahter Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Interesting - I liked the 3rd movie (Prisoner of Azkaban) as much as the first two... it's the 4th and after that have disgusted me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'what the hell? how random.' and Tonks was the depressed one... She was supposed to be this bubbly, cheery, quirky character, and she was reduced to a brown haired loser. :¬: I wanted to hunt JKR down for that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGH ON PIE 14 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I think it was just a random brain-fart on JKR's part, but of course I could be wrong. Yeah, somebody put her on the spot and I think she just improvised. After all, she didn´t want to make it look like she had annything against gays. I´m pretty sure she confirmed that it was true, afterwards. Burnseyy: Oh, that made me mad too. She lost all the things that made her...well herself, all because Lupin rejected her. She lost her funky purple/pink hair and her ability to change appearences. Don´t know what JKR was thinking on that one...maybhe that was a major brain fart. -HOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ztalker Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Loved the book...the way 'our' world suffers beneath the events in the wizard world. Full scale war. Trailer is cool. Good balance of humour, epic stuff and special effects. Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astor Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Loved the book...the way 'our' world suffers beneath the events in the wizard world. Full scale war. Agreed. Does anyone know if the film has the first chapter? You know, the one where Fudge briefs the muggle PM about the situation? I hope they do... it sets the tone nicely in the book.

whatthehell Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 i like the books, but i do have a few problems with the movies 1.they dont follow the books completely and thats what ppl went to the theater to see(cont. to #3) 2.the actors sucked at first, but now theyre getting better. too bad they werent that good before 3. charge more for full movies, not the chopped up versions of the book that these are (cont. from #1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
