I am a big fan of the books. I didn't like the first two movies very much. The weren't as exciting as the books. Although the third movie is clearly not following the book exactly, i found that it was exciting even though it didn't follow the book. I liked it as a movie, but disliked it as a harry potter sequel.

Oh, what's up with everyone and that Watson girl? Isn't she 14 or something?

hmm... i tried watching it from the perspective of a person who hasnt read the books and it didnt make much sense. even my friends who havent read the book says the same thing. you'd only understand what the hell it was about if you've read the book. otherwise it'll leave a lot of blank spots. even more than "chamber" which was the reason why i started reading the books in the first place.

I thought that it was pretty good but I did not like, one bit, the setting of the Castle, and particularly Hagrid's hut.

I'm pissed. It was supposed to be way better than the others, but it ended up sucking. My left nut could produce a better movie.

i liked the movie but felt that it was "rushed" in order to keep it down to a reasonable running time

why were you pissed at the end?

I was disappointed with the movie.

It was too fast, not detailed enough, and seemed to take an awful lot of liberties from the book.

In Singapore,the legal age is 16.The law allows for vainal sex,but not oral sex.(that is the actual law,check it out on google.if the police catch you having oral sex,you face jail time,but not vaginal sex).Ironically,prostitution is legal as well.

In fact,under the sexual laws of my country,everything but rape,underage sex and oral sex is legal.the 3 listed are big NO's.

The true answer is that in the United States, the legal age of consent varies from state to state. In some states it's 18, while in others it's lower, 16 or 17. And I think some states have rules that depend on the age of both parties, in other words, it's legal at 15 or 16, but only if both partners are within two years of the same age. For the US military, the legal age of consent is 16. So if US military members go to one of those countries someone was talking about and does a 15 year old, he's in trouble.

The movie sucked. The dialogue was too sensational, and the screenplay was raped. Hogwarts got too new of a setting, dementors aren't suppose to fly, and everything was very hard to follow, even though I've read the book. Also, Maggie Smith got a pitifully small role, and John Cleese seemed nonexistant in the film. I guess that's the quality one would expect from a director of porn films.

The part I disliked the most. It skipped around way to much and left out a lot of things.

i actually really liked it.
it was a lot better than the first two movies.... i think it had to do with the change of director.
chris columbus didn't have as much feeling as the new director, alfonso cuaron (of Y Tu Mama Tambien, the little princess, etc).

it was a lot more mature, filmwise, than the first two.

i enjoyed it... i actually dressed up as madame hootch to see the first showing at the theater near my house.

well, the book is so dense, and it has so much material and action in it... it would be impossible to get everything into a decently sized movie (if it were too long, everyone would be griping about that), so they had to modify and only put the essentials in to make a good movie.

I thought that the new Potter was better than the last two. Just look at the scenery. Hogswarts looks vastly different then it did in the first two movies. Hagrid isn't 40 feet from the school grounds, he's near the edge of the forest, the Whomping Willow isn't in the middle of the walls, it's off them, and with all that, the scenery was just fabulous. I thought they did good, sticking well to the story, especially in the end with Hermonie, Harry, and the time piece.

The fourth one comes out next year. But I want the 6th book to come out now. I am dying to read it. Reading Harry Potter was what got me back into reading again and I was 20 at the time. 21 now but hell this is damn good writing.

how can you say that? i mean yeah the backdrop may be more accurate but other than that its all crap. cuaron made potter and malfoy look like pussies! and wtf was with that group hug?! my cousin was actually restraining me from screaming in anguish in the theater. that was prolly the worst film i ever saw. you wouldnt be able to follow it if you havent read the book.

I wouldn't complain about the length if they included all the details....

The credits were interesting, though. They did a good job with the Map.

Reading Harry Potter was what got me back into reading again and I was 20 at the time. 21 now but hell this is damn good writing.I thought the tone was dead on as well, and that overall Cuaron did a hell of a job. The books are progressively darker and the movies needed to evolve to reflect that.

And Purly, it's not fair to call Cuaron a porn director--Y Tu Mama Tambien was a beautiful movie that dealt with sexuality in a mature and adult way, but it certainly wasn't a children's movie. There's a world of difference between those two movies.
