I actually thought it was pretty good. Not as good as the first, mind, and maybe a little too long. I like how it constantly swings wildly between taking itself far too seriously and knowing self-parody.

I saw it at the weekend, and have to say this movie is every bit as awful as it’s touted to be. I’d actually say the review is pretty generous. Awful characters, awful storyline, the occasional decent special effect and one nice scene when the main character (I cant even remember her name, I was that disengaged) is underwater and the whole thing takes on a swirly effect that any decent program could create. I made a critical error, I paid to see this trash. At least it’ll save me suffering through any more.

Yeah, it was fairly dire, although good for a laugh! I’ll admit there’s not a lot to work with given the source material (I have, sadly, read all four of Ms. ‘I only know three adjectives’ Meyer’s series and can confirm that worse is to come). However, I’ve just had a look at the trailer there and they seem to have left about half of it out of the finished movie, including some decent looking fight scenes and some opportunities to flesh out some minor characters. Perhaps I blinked and missed them, but I’m pretty sure they weren’t in the finished movie. Which is a shame, because I can’t help but think that a really good adaptation could actually have made something of this story (I guess that would have had the fangirls screaming for blood though, No pun intended.)

Lovely review.

Having worked in a bookshop for the past few years I have to say that this book is dross. It’s in the same vein as Mr. Dan Brown’s work – hyped up, easy to read but essentially it’s dull and soul-less. No pun intended. Just because someone is reading, it does not make them an intellectual.

The previous film – I had endured 30 minutes of it before walking out, leaving the missus behind – was garbage. It just proved that young women are as horny as young men. And that with a pretty (read borderline syndrome-y) face you can sell anything.

Still. Two down, two to go.

Haha, at last, someone else who thinks Harry Potter is a badly acted waste of time. I also think it’s based on some pretty averagely written and highly unoriginal books, since you asked… I was starting to think I was the only one. This… well, I haven’t read the book or seen the film, but just seeing how crazy my 14 year old sister’s gone for it gives me a good idea that’s it going to be… pretty much as you described it, Hil. I think I’ll give it a miss, though I am contemplating buying the soundtrack. Or at least listening to it on Spotify.
