When the movie first came out, the reviews were generally positive, and everything was abuzz with its B.O. hit status. For the "negative" parts of the movie, many people said "Well, it's just a book adaptation... what can you do?" Well, I think the movie was hit hard by comparison to LOTR. Both movies are adaptation of very popular books in the same genre with an amazing amount of paralels (Harry=Frodo; Sam=Hermione/Ron; Dumbledore=Gandalf; Sauron=Voldemort etc. etc.) But LOTR was the far superior film. It's soundtrack was much better. The action was better, the drama was player up better; the scenery was better. I took my fiance to see both (she's never read either book). Less than halfway through LOTR, she commented that it was much better than HP. Think about it. Isn;t it amazing that LOTR buzz is still in the air (or was until very recently), while HP has seemed to fall off the face of the planet.. How much Harry Potter II movie clamoring have you heard lately? Maybe Rowling's insistence on keeping the American film industry out of her movie as much as possible wasn't the best decision after all... |
