Watched Harry Potter 5 today.

Wasn't that great, in my humble opinion. But I expected as much seeing that the book version was Meh.

Afterwards, I went to a little boutique to find a pair of jeans worth $199. Before I got a job, I wouldn't have cared-- you know, 'cause it wasn't my money doing the buying. But now, the price tag hurt me in ways ( Read more... )

Personally, Harry Potter 5 didn't speak to me in the way the others did. I went to see it twice, and I didn't feel like it 'excited' me more the second time around. The building climax, which is basically the entire movie, was slow moving, in my opinion. I guess they wasted all of their CG budget on the 3-d Mistletoe, rather than more kickass fight scenes.

It's funny, because after the movie ended my friend yelled out "THAT'S IT? WHATTA WASTE". Sh later explained to me that she felt as satisfied now as when she finished watching The Great Divide for Avatar-- it felt like a filler. Which it kinda was. The whole point of the book/movie was the profecy.

And there were things that were done differently. Supposedly in the book, Harry goes inside a Goblet to look at Snape's past not through a spell. And Sirius falls behind a veil (and Harry tries to follow him) rather than getting sucked into that portal-thing. And then Harry talks to a ghost and asks to see if Sirius can come back... And the list goes on.

It felt to me that all the parts that I wanted to see most were omiited from the movie and it made me sad

I totally agree with your friend, but the fifth book was supposed to set up the character that SHOULD'VE gotten a bigger role, due to his sudden elevation of importance in the sixth novel (*ahemsnape!*), and the prophecy that is of the upmost importance, yet it seemed as if they tried to rush through the telling of the prophecy. It was as if they thought explaining the prophecy was unnecessary, so they tried to give it as little screen time as possible.

OH, DON'T GET ME STARTED ON SNAPE'S WORST MEMORY. That was one of the things that ticked me off to the point that I jumped out of my seat and whispered!yelled "WHERE THE FUCK IS LILY POTTER?!" And it was horribly short, which made me mad. Harry's the main character, great, but give the side character's some lovin' too!!

I loved how there would be an extremely happy scene, Fred and George's departure from Hogwart's, and everything is fine until Harry suddenly collapses. Overdose of angst, Harry! I think he's been hanging around Zuko for too long.
