what about it was not amazing

dont bother billy is just being either a troll or an idiot

[billy]

or maybe i don\\\'t like shitty nihilist movies hmm

no never mind stupid monsters are so scary i\\\'m really scared of stupid monsters

and that shitty nihilist ending they tacked on that wasn\\\'t in the story was great too

fucking genius, he kills everyone and then can\\\'t kill himself and then gets rescued god fuck

[texas]

how was it nihilist

ps can you bring up a valid argument against it

i want to hear this from you danny since you usually have good reasons!!!

[trent bortknob]

and that shitty nihilist ending they tacked on that wasn't in the story was great too

stephen king has said that if he had thought of the ending he would have used it

he likes the ending

[texas]

yeah its better than just driving out in to the mist and maybe hearing something on the radio like in the book

[Gmagnum]

i enjoyed harry potter 6 but it had some MASSIVE plot problems

[texas]

what were the plot problems

ps can you bring up a valid argument against it

i want to hear this from you danny since you usually have good reasons!!!

well heres a few reasons i didnt enjoy it... there are spoilers here but honestly theres nothin much to spoil

first issue: the characters were all stereotypical horror movie characters. of course there's gonna be a crazy religious fanatic screaming "the world is ending" and of course there's gonna be the logical smart guy whose like "now calm down theres a perfectly good explanation for this" and then of course the logical smart guy eats his words when paranormal shit starts happening and the crazy bitch takes advantage of it. not to mention the creepy kid, what horror film is complete without a creepy kid. cliches like that make me hate the characters. if i hate the characters, i dont care what happens to them. the suspense is gone.

second issue: the monsters were somewhat scary... until you actually saw them. the real horror should have lied in what you could NOT see, like the beginning scenes when the guy dies off screen and they can only hear it. the mist could have also been a brilliant storytelling device for hiding some sinister secret or big twist, but the explanation at the end felt just plain stupid. when the rationale of your film is that the government accidentally opened a parallel dimension, your whole concept is a cop out. as soon as a bunch of stupid tentacles and giant instincts started popping into the store, the fear was completely gone

think of the movie "alien.." the whole time you're just dreading every second wondering what the monster looks like. when you finally do see it, it doesnt disappoint because its appearance is brief and spectacular. had they done this with the mist and added a twist that wasnt a total copout i would have probably enjoyed it.

ohh also a different lead actor than thomas jane would have been nice

[texas]

yes i can see your points
the explanation for the monsters is a lot cooler if youve read stephen kings dark tower series though  
it explains it there in an awesome way
but yes those are perfectly reasonable arguments thank you for not being billy!

[Gmagnum]

what were the plot problems

2 huge ones were

1) Hogsworth (i think that's his name) has this knowledge of something that could help Dumbledore and everyone else defeat Voldemort, and the whole time Dumbledore justs asks Harry to get him to spill the beans and wait 'till the last minute to learn something important about who they're fighting. fuck that, if these people care about saving their world, someone would put a wand to Hogsworth's head and tell him to fucking tell them what he knows.

2) Dumbledore acts suprised, he actually acts SUPRISED that Voldemort has been using horocrux's this entire time. he clearly knows what it is before hand and doesn't make a connection that a horocrux is something a dark wizard would use and that Voldemort is a dark wizard that has remained alive even after the sorrcerror's stone and old diary have been destroyed. are you serious?

other plot holes

1) then, as soon as Dumbledore gets his head out of his ass and finds out that Voldemort is using a horocrux is, he knows where a horocrux is? it doesn't matter if they explain it in the book, the movie has to stand on its own.

2) then when they get to the cave that has the horocrux, it's somehow a problem to get across a pond to get to it? they can fly across the fucking world with dumbledore's arm, and if that's a hassle, use a broomstick. and the only thing stoping them from getting the horocrux is a stupid elixer and some small skinny demons, really? a 3 headed dog was gaurding the sorccerror's stone and yet Voldemort doesn't think a powerful wizard that can a) bring another person with him and  wipe they shit out of the little monsters with a firestorm would ever try to get his horocrux.

3) Malfoy is still going to the school?! no one is ever going to think that a son of deatheater is going to fuck them over, no one is even keeping an eye on him.

4) no one, in all their plans to make the school safe, ever think to get rid of the vanishing cabinet that can bring in people from OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL?

give me a break, how HP6 is getting all these good reviews is beyond me, the only thing that made enjoy it was Ron's crazy girlfriend and the scene where Hermonie is all flustered and can't make the potion.

oh and they really dropped the ball on Dumbledore's death

it really sounds like you never rread the book which kinda explained most of your gripes even though it was quite grazed over in the movie  

but certainly if you didn't read the book what you said makes sense and is pret true, I dunno maybe they should have shown them swimming or explain the magical corpses can only be killed with fire or the big fight at the end which i really was dissapointed in not seeing

I sort of take it as what they expect you to know rather than what they newly make

Hogsworth = Horace Slughorn

[Casey Pixmintro]

I saw Harry Potter last night, I liked it... Except every character had so many love interests throughout the movie. They could trimmed out a bit of that crap, but otherwise, it was enjoyable.

It was ok...movie-wise. I have no idea how the hell they're going to explain all the shit they left out that leads up to the finale. The only thing I liked about the movie was how, eh, "grown up" the characters are. What I mean is this: Harry fucking bitches and whines and acts all emo-shit throughout the books. We don't see any of this in the movie.    Also the actor who played Malfoy stood out the most in the movie. His performance was fantastic! To be able to portray Malfoy's frustration and stress was just...wow. Stunning! All in all the movie was just ok.

[KingDavid]

Malfoy is going to have gray hair soon. He\\\'s looking old. Also, at toonmore, kind of wrong on most accounts. The philosopher\\\'s stone was not a horcrux. But I see your points.

oh and btw this is davidmoore0. Sorry.

[Daveb0t]

the harrypotter movie wouldnt be making as much money if it wasn't harry potter
