Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Film)


Recommended Posts

Early reviews are out, they are not very positive I must say, the main four complaints about the film were:

  • The films is very slow in the middle when the trio are camping in various areas and don't know what to do, the pacing becomes incredibly slow at this part.
  • Confusing plot, no idea why the heck they think it's confusing but apparently the whole horcruxes & hallows thingy is too complicated
  • Incomplete, the film has no resolution (duh!) and doesn't stand on its own.
  • Too dark and doesn't feel like a harry potter film, no hogwarts and doesn't feel magical, this is of course is just a crappy criticism.

However, all the technical aspects as the direction, acting, cinematography, effects...etc were praised.

Well it still has 79% on Rotten Tomatoes. I know I;m gonna love it, but I'm a huge books fan so I don't expect to be confused by the plot. The middle of the movie might be slow, but so was the book's and it was a great opening to a grand finale.

Well I have to say that is good. That means is like the book. The first part of the book is slow and without Hogwarts. Confusing plot? :blink:

There are always a handful of reviewers, who claim the films are 'complicated' - even going back to the Philosophers Stone. I just think they aren't paying attention (at least with the frst six, though it's probably the same with the last 'two')

I love the books but every movie seems a bit slow in comparison to me.

The books, as a series, are in my top 20 of all time. I can argue for days, and days, about how they're one of the most significant things to happen in literature, for generations. The movies, on the other hand - I've either been bored, disliked, or flatout hated, all of 'em - with the exception of Prisoner of Azkaban, which I liked as a film, but hated as an adaptation (they pretty much cut Rons balls off in that film).

However, like a true geek, I'm still going to see Deathly Hallows Pt.1 at the local IMax when it's released. And buying the series 'Mega Boxset'

:laugh: Same here, while the movies are bad compared to the books I still watch every one of them. And +1 on Prisoner of Azkaban, the best one of them all, thanks to Gary Oldman (among others but I loved his Sirius Black).

5 DAYS TILL THE PREMIERE :woot:

TWO MORE DAYS!

Bought a nice Gryffindor t-shirt and a Deathly Hallows poster (27x40" for $6!). SO EXCITED! :rofl:

Neowin requires pictures of you wearing it :p :shifty:

Haha, nerding it up, I hope your going to wear it to the film.

I wore a Transformers and Star Trek t-shirt when I went to see the films, just that cool, lol.

Over 3 quarters of an hour in at midnight launch, just thought I would post a message for the rest of the world while im taking a toilet break (dam those massive movie cokes) that you won't be disapointed. :woot:

:laugh: I've managed to book my tickets today (almost missed it, but my cinema opened 4th room for midnight screening - madness BTW I've been to almost every major movie premiere at midnight, there always was only one screening and like 15 people on the audience). It premieres on Friday so I'm going on midnight on Thursday :D

dedication! :D

Honestly I think this will most likely be the best of the movies even thought i was the worst of the books lol. Difficult to tell thought being that I have not seen it and have been avoiding certain circles about the film to prevent any bias when I do go and see it.

    • Sorry I mean your back rest on your Herman, can you move the back say 2cm then lock it? Then realise 2cm isn’t enough and you want an extra 1cm then lock it into that position? Basically like in an older car seat, you turn the knob round until you get the back recline precisely where you want it, this is what I found the Herman wouldn’t do
    • WTF? I am not taking a video of myself to access a site or to create an account. What are they thinking? I don’t even have a webcam on my main desktop PC. The powers to be are really looking to normalize the taking of pics or submitting ID for everything. I afraid most people will end up just going along with it.
