Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole

[tailypo]

I was of course very excited for this movie. Owls! And I have read all the books. I've seen the movie a couple times now, and it seems that it won't be in theaters much longer, since it's not doing all that great

Artwise: The art director thing reveals so much! XD

Plot: Well, unless the author is CS Lewis. Or Tolkien. Or Rowling -- then one book gets split into two.

Even if you're J.K.Rowling, your books don't escape the rewrite-for-screenplay. So much has been dropped from the Harry Potter series; stuff that is relevant and key to the 7th book. It will be interesting (a few weeks from now) to see how they end up dealing with trying to make things that weren't in past films link in to things that should be for this.

[tailypo]

Yes, I specifically meant the "not enough in a single book for a movie" part. XD

I hope the local theater is still showing it in 3D. I haven't gotten out there to see it yet!

[tailypo]

It's now gone from all Portland Metro theaters. :( I had to go to Washington to see it yesterday! *lol*

[dinogrrl]

Yeah it seems it's not in 3D at any of the local theaters here either :{.

[amoryllis]

I can get them here? O_O

[tailypo]

Blaze is in Spain, which probably explains the discrepancy.

[amoryllis]

Worst case somebody helps them by buying local then sending? :o

I really, really, don't like birds. So I suppose it says a lot that I really enjoyed this film- never having read the books, I found it actually quite watchable, which is more than I can say for the vast majority of stuff I've seen over the past few years. The armour and all that was absolutely adorable and really well thought-out, and I agree that the pop song was totally out of place.

[amoryllis]

Huge difference between Finding Nemo's birds and now. I thought the popsong (by OWL CITY) was cute, a little out of place but cute, I couldn't help but sing along. But the big thing that caught my eye was the fact that they had fire water AND feathers all in the same movie. I'm sorry, I let myself forget the books and simply enjoyed the eye candy that is The Owls.

[tailypo]

I haven't ever seen Finding Nemo, which kind of surprises me. Ha.

Oh trust me, I really really enjoyed this movie, hence my telling everyone to go see it. I think the fact I've seen it four times in the theater speaks to that!

The water, fire and feathers were all done SO well!

[amoryllis]

the feathers in Finding Nemo are just blocks, but the owls everything is its own element and moves independantly. I wanna see it again so bad X3
