Harry Potter Sucked Ass
 
What a bunch of bullshit. Spoilers, obviously.


I mean, wasn't this supposed to be the darkest film of all of them? I remember this being my favorite out of all the books because of that fact alone. I loved it because it built up Voldemort to be the big badass he is.

I thought I remember there being a shit ton more flashbacks showing Voldemort becoming badass. And the book really set the tone that evil forces are gathering and building up and ready to unleash havoc. But the movie didn't even bother. I realized that after like an hour and a half and figured out we were out of time to really build that up.

Instead they went with the love story. I know the love has to begin somewhere and I know they have to spend time on it but come on. It took over the entire movie.

There were other gripes but I can't remember. Just mostly pissed off because there wasn't enough evil involved.

I'm gunna have to reread the fucking book now and list my complaints in the order of what frustrates me most because I am like that

debating whether or not to read your post

Hanso Amore 07-16-2009 05:52 PM

Wow.

Cool.

G 07-16-2009 05:52 PM

i could just spoil it by reading a half blood prince wiki

G 07-16-2009 05:53 PM

or you could just spoil it for me via text


hey, the fat boy dies in the gas

RoXer 07-16-2009 05:54 PM

Were you not here for when RDD spoiled the book for someone?

Or was it the other way around and someone spoiled it for RDD?

Either way, it was fucking great.

I'm actually interested to hear what people who did not read the book and only saw the movies opinions are.

I thought it was confusing as hell for those people but we'll see.

DaveWadding 07-16-2009 06:03 PM

lol you read Harry Potter.

Nervous Ferret 07-17-2009 01:19 AM

I LOVED the books when I was like 12 or whatever. Then the last few came out while I was well over Harry Potter but I read them anyway for the 12 year old in me. IT was good, it is good stuff. These movies are atrocious though. How do the movies even make sense for people that haven't read the books? It doesn't properly follow the exact storyline obviously but come on, it is nothing like the books. FFFFFFFFFFFFF that. Well, they aren't terrible, the younger Harry Potter fanatic in me loves them, but wtf if you never read the books.

The Pope 07-17-2009 01:21 AM

Harry potter books are the shit

RoXer 07-17-2009 01:25 AM

Yeah I read the first 4 when I was a kid then grew out of it. Saw all the films on DVD, rented them and what not.

Then I went to see the 5th on in theatres and my friends were saying they cut a bunch out and it inspired me to read the 5th, 6th, and then the 7th came out like the next month or whatever.

The 6th was my favorite book by far. I don't have it though, I have to go borrow it and reread it.

What? I don't recall ever partaking in any spoilage of Harry Potter, be it on the giving or receiving end.


Went and saw The Hangover on Tuesday and ridiculous amounts of 14 year olds were waiting in line for like 4 hours for the midnight showing. Awful.

JAbba spoiled Harry Potter for TPWW poster Bad Guy and many others. Then RDD proceeded to drunkenly ban Jabba and post several hilarious alcohol induced responses.

road doggy dogg 07-17-2009 01:29 AM

Oh wait no, I remember now.
SPOILER: show
When the book came out where Snape killed Dumbledore or whatever, TPWW's resident "hilarious controversial" poster NoJabbaNoBogRoll was posting it all over the forum, and then a few people asked me (because I was an admin at the time) to delete it, so I did.

road doggy dogg 07-17-2009 01:29 AM

I don't recall being drunk, but it sounds like something I would do.

RoXer 07-17-2009 01:31 AM

Might wanna put that in a spoiler tag there, Jabba.

road doggy dogg 07-17-2009 01:34 AM

Oh I thought that came out like 4 years ago, and thus anybody who cared would have read it by now, but whatever.

RoXer 07-17-2009 01:43 AM

lol pretty funny nonetheless

"Say RDD, remember the time when everyone got upset over the major spoiler that was posted"

"No...OH WAIT YOU MEAN THE TIME WHEN ..."

NoJabbaNoBogRoll 07-17-2009 03:08 AM

RDD drunkenly deleted my account over that. :lol:

Penner 07-20-2009 10:05 AM

I thought the movie was decent. I was satisfied.

YOUR Hero 07-20-2009 09:24 PM

Harold Potter.

DrA 07-21-2009 01:57 AM

I liked it even though I didn't know what was going on 90% of the time.

Blitz 07-22-2009 02:08 AM

I very much enjoyed this film.

IC Champion 07-22-2009 03:56 PM

LOL @ reading or watching Harry Potter and not being a 12 year old girl.

Lord-Of-Darkness 07-23-2009 06:51 PM

Agree with everyone discussing this. It was alright, but focused far too much on the wrong part of the story.

Plus I gotta agree with RoXer though. The past couple of these movies have far too many things just for the people who read the book. They didn't show somethings in full, and therefore I feel the casual fan might feel a little lost.

None the less, as non-casual fan, I was somewhat satisfied.

Savio 08-17-2009 11:28 PM

I thought the ending in the movie was better than the ending in the book. The ending in the book made the bad guys look like jobbers in the movie they looked capable of killing anyone.

I just borrowed the book btw so I'll Finnish it in about a day or whatever.

I was thinking though, since they're splitting the last book into two movies, maybe the first one will "build up" the "dark side" or whatever. Like they can totally throw in the flashbacls in the next movie. In that case, it was alright focusing on a love story on this one.

We'lll see

PorkSoda 08-19-2009 12:14 AM

Dude, anything associated with Harry Potter sucks. I went into Wal Mart today and saw all the Harry Potter movies in a row. My blood boiled and my stomach turned. I just wanted to burn the whole place down.

Anytime someone says Harry Potter, I cringe. How can someone like that sort of thing?

I noticed they did not focus on the half blood prince aspect of this movie
