Just got back from the midnight showing of OOtP!

I don't know what anyone else thinks yet, but I was very satisfied indeed.

Having been horribly disappointed in the last film, I decided to divorce myself completely (if possible) from the book or any expectations for this film. As a result, I thoroughly enjoyed the film, and I thought Dan Radcliffe pretty much carried it, and managed to do so credibly.

I'll probably type a review in a few days' after my thoughts coalesce.

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. I leaned long ago that if I read the book right before the movie I get far too irritated with all the stuff that gets changed or left out to be able to enjoy it...

I think it's kinda weird that I can watch a movie, go read the book again, and watch the movie again, and be perfectly satisfied though. All of those changed don't bother me after I know what to expect I guess... LOL!

I have also started trying to view the books and the movie as two slightly different universes where the outcome is going to be the same, but sometimes the insides change up just a little bit. It makes for a much more enjoyable experience.

I can't wait to read your review if you decide to write one! Your reviews are so intelligently written and you always seem to make some really interesting points!

*hugs*

You make an excellent point, and that may be what's happened this time for me. I'm viewing the films and the books as sort of variations on a theme -- something like every single HG/SS fanfiction I've ever read. They all work with the same universe, just from a slightly different slant.

Thanks for the encouragement. I need to let it settle a bit.

It has taken me a very long time to get to that point. LOL!

[bambu345]

And aren't you brilliant!

[beletseri]

Some people might seriously question that statement! LOL!!!!
