Everybody has go a right to his or her say.
I do not dare say that my view represents everybody's view.
On the 16th november 2005, I caught the sneak preview of Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire with family and friends.(after a wonderful 3 hr dinner at CAfe CArtel, Marina Square)
And my take is ...
I love it!
I think it being much more spectacular than any of the Harry Potter Movies I have everseen. So exciting, so gripping and it hardly seemed at all 2hr + movie!
I disliked the earlier few episodes and I have always thought that they were a waste of marnee. They were boring and uninteresting.
And I was reading somewhere that the first few book followed closely to the description of the book. BAH!
For all the money you paid to watch movies, did you come to realise that most popular movies are adaptations from books?
What do you mean by adaptations? (for those who dont know let me tell you...)That means they kept to the plot but changed some bits of it so that the movie would be more effective!
Well, this coming from somebody who did not read any of J.K. Rowling's Signature book series, you might want to dismiss my comments.
But mind you a movie has to be a movie! that is it must first and foremost serve to entertain else movie go-ers would not find it a waste of their money to sit through the entire show.
I think the director has finally wised up and decided that while he stuck closely to the plot of the story, he changed bits of it to make it more intriguing, entertaining. Therefore it became essentially a more successful movie and therefore a more thrilling movie watching experience!
A friend of mine who used to dismissed HP movies as childish, turned up on our little excursion that day. She who has not watched a single HP Movie till that very day, has this to say to me, "WOW, i dint know HP movies are so addictive! Now im so tempted to catch all the past series"
I am certain she wont say this if she had caught the first movie instead. I was the one who told my bf that I wouldn't want to watch any HP movie because it was such a waste of my time and money. (as you all jolly well know, movie watching is such an expensive experience!)
Many years ago, when it first hit our screens, I had preferred LOTR, X-men, Star WArs movies than HP's. My bf had to dragged me to the cinemas to watch hp movies.
But i think since watching this on the 16th, I believed I would be the one bugging my bf to the cinemas when the next one hit the screens from now on.
Well, like i said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, you can always go watch it yourself and let me know your verdict.
Enjoy =D
