Tonight i saw the fourth Harry Potter movie and i ruined it for myself in the first five minutes. I am familiar with the books and once i spotted the first major deviation from the book, i turned my attention to catching other 'mistakes'. This led me to miss the movie.
I really couldnt tell you what happened, but i can tell you exactly what was different between the book and the movie. I mean the weasleys hair should be RED, how hard is that to get right? Its like Harry without the scar, or Hermoine with the proto-boobies and young blossoming body..... wait, i mean, they even changed the sets! fuck! i liked the old sets, they were bigger. Theres a reason its called a Great Hall, because its supposed to be fuckin GREAT, not some cramped room that resembles my high school auditorium.
Fuck! Now i realize the whole movie was smaller, every room, every shot, even Hagrid! All smaller, much smaller. Thats bullshit. If i'm gonna spend $8 bucks to go see a movie thats 2 and half hours long i want some wide, grand shots, some kind of epic feeling; not some 2+ hour long G-rated music video. The only tongue i saw tonight was in the trailer for Aeon Flux.
Aeon Flux? thats a tough one, see it, not see it? Plus side to this movie is that i will enjoy the movie and not look for 'mistakes'. i had no idea what the plotline was on the short videos i caught on MTVs Liquid Television, probably the last good thing mtvs done, so i should go see it. double plus: Charlize! one of my 5
So then i shouldn't read the Narnia series i just picked up until i see the movie, that looks sweet. it better not be a fuckin g-rated music video. i want grand fuckin shots, i want shots taking from a fuckin helicopter sweeping across a giant fuckin battlefield. i want to leave the movie theater saying 'that was fuckin cool' not 'what the fucks up with their hair?'
One Star (out of 5) and sadly, i might go see it again
