i saw a special on A and E channel about the making of it. it's was like an hour long. they talked about the new headmaster in the movie and they showed a lot of clips of him. he sounds a little different but other wise he seems the same.
the dementors looks scary. 8O
i can't wait till 2! (that's what i'm seeing it today)
Amanda
-
dad and i are going to try and see it tonight if it's not alreayd sold out.....*crosses fingers*
-
I just saw it and hmmmm, I don't know.
It's not that I didn't like it but it's very different than the previous movies.
I think I'm gonna see it again because the sound was veryyy low at the theater when I saw it and it kinda ruined it for me. So right when the movie ended, I talked to the people who work at the movie theater and I was like "the sound was ridiculously low throughout the whole movie, wasn't there some kind of a problem?"
They checked and agreed that someone "forgot" to turn up the volume after the ads.
Sheesh.
Good thing is I'm gonna be able to see it again. I might like it more this time, with GOOD sound and all. 8)
Weird thing though: the theater was like empty: I think there were 50 people in there (keep in mind it was a Friday afternoon at 4.20 pm).
-
that is weird ghisy...dad and i are driving to the theater right after school and are planning on only being able to get night tickets

I guess HP isn't as popular here. :?
-
well i just saw it. very very good. better than the last two movies if you ask me. and i thought they stuck to the book nicely too. although they did leave out minor things like all but one quiditch game, and who wrote the map and so on... otherwise, it was very good for the amount of info they had to get into an hour and a half movie
Amanda

It's 2 hours and 24 minutes :?
-
can't can't wait to watch it ...
I know it'll be awesome.
It's probably my favourite of all the books #4 is also very good ...
#5 isn't wonderful ... but I can't wait for #6 ... =D
ok :-)
only 5 more sleeps!!!
JUNE THE 10TH!!!!!

i saw it last night too! it was excellent! almost all of the shows were sold out, we got in to the next to last showing, and luckily got really good seats! this surpasses the first two movies i think....you can tell that the actors have really grown up and fit in to their characters well, their acting was much better....the special affects...were so awesome! aaah i need to see it again :-P there were some things they left out, and a couple of things that they tweaked, but for the most part i think they stuck to the plot line very well.....the twins were so funny! there were a few people in line who dressed up :razz: all in all i would hiiiiighhlyyyy recommend it

i knooooowww what you mean! dad said he read an article where the director said he wanted the movie to be shorter, which is why he cut out some of the side stories...my only complaint is that i would have liked to have seen that and not have the movie going so fast, but that's all!
-
It's true that the movie seemed reallllllly short to me.
When it gets to the scene *SPOILER* where Harry and Sirius are attacked by the dementors and Hermione and Harry turns back time and Harry saved his other self and Sirius*SPOILER ENDS*, I was like "whoa, already there?!?!"

How can you not have the side stories? That sounds really stupid...I heard POA was better left to the imagination...I'm going to have to see for myself but I'm kind of scared now. The 3rd book was my favorite of all the books...I don't want it ruined....
-
My friend is dressing as a wizard. Freak.
How dare you >_> Just kidding :) I wouldn't dress like that unless I had a totally accurate costume... and then only at night..., but for SW:Ep3 I just may go in Dark Jedi robes. :D
Yep, me and Keith went to see it this afternoon, damn it was awesome.
PoA>SS>>>>>>CoS in my opinion.
Now I can't wait for Goblet of Fire, my favorite book *_* It's gotta be like 3 hours long.

you should still see it. they didn't cut out that much. here's the thing: they didn't explain who Padfoot, Wormtail, and those guys were, there was only one quiditch match, they skipted some of the dementor encounters, and that's about it of all i can remember. i promise it won't ruin the book for you.
Amanda

Ok, apparently I'm the only one here who didn't really like the movie. I can't even explain...
I mean, the movie is really good! Like the way they turn back the time and all... It's really good how it's just like how I imagined it would be. But it's just way too different from the other 2 and too different from the book.
I felt it was too short and Alfonso cut out too many things he shouldn't have.
The special effects are awesome tho! The hipogriff (sp???) is really cool and the dementors... ah, they're just how they were in my head...
Oh, but the new Dumblodore... omg, I didn't like him at all... Cuz the first one was peaceful and the new one well he's just too energetic if you know what I mean...
It's weird tho cuz I think it's the best movie out of the three but I didn't like it 8O lol can you understand??
And I'm actually going to watch it again in a few minutes haha
-

I do!!!
I thought the same thing about it!
But I'm gonna give it another chance, hehe. ;)
-

The exact reason I am trying to keep myself from reading PoA again before seeing the film... though it's hard! I want to read it but I know I'll be disappointed if I read it beforehand...
Ah, anyway, Jules, you're one of the very few people (if not the only one!) I've read about so far who hasn't liked it... weirdo ;)
-
haha Ne!!!
Weeell, tis not that I DIDN'T like it... It's just cuz I was expecting something else... But it's GOOD!

D"OH!!! I just finished reading the book yesterday in preparation for Thursday!!! Thursday!!! I had forgotten so much of it!!!
Maybe that was a mistake then LOL ...
But i'm not expecting them to put EVERYTHING in a 2 hour movie ...
I just want to see the dementors and the hippogriff and all that ... just to confirm how I imagine it is how they've done it ... book 3 is big though ...
and they're so cute the boys!!!
Pity Dumbledore died :-( He was good ...
I wonder how they're going to do book 4!!! Cuz book 4 is even longer and more detailed!!!
I wonder what book 6 ill be like. I didn't like book 5 much ..
-
It will be rated M 15+ over here in Australia but they are trying to get it down to a PG level before its debut on Thursday.
Anyway for those who have seen it, should my dumb arse nephew's mother take my nephew who is only 6 to see it or will it be to scary?
I have heard that the train scene is much to scary for children under 8.

Actors and special effects are good! way good!! The scene where Potter flies the hippogriff is amazing!!! But yeah, I wouldn't mind if the movie was longer...
Pity Dumbledore died :-( He was good ...
He was perfect!!! THE Dumbledore! The new one... tsc tsc...
ANYWAYZ, I just watched it again and hey, guess what?! I liked it better this time! :D
Yea, I'm weird like that but I think it's good now... So I guess even movies deserve a second chance!! lol

I don't think I cold handle it longer though .. I already get too emotionally highly strung wih things like that ... LOL i'm a mess!!! Even though I know what's going to happen ... I can't handle suspense LOL
ANYWAYZ, I just watched it again and hey, guess what?! I liked it better this time! :D
Yea, I'm weird like that but I think it's good now... So I guess even movies deserve a second chance!! lol
I really can't wait to see it ...
Everyone and everything deserves a second chance. :-)
Glad you liked it ... even though you're a Ron/Hermione fan and NOT a Harry/Hermione ... :-? ... eh noone's perfect ;-)
-
I am more of a Harry/Cho fan. But that's just me.
I saw it yesterday, and I really liked it. I felt that it was eons beyond the first two. PoA was my favorite book, and I was not disappointed. I thought the scene with the bluebird was histerical! I don't wanna give anything away, but I laughed out loud. I love the new director! He makes it more dark, more like the books. I sorta felt like it was compressed, but I still liked it. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a..... an 8.5.
-
i love gary oldman!

I'm so upset with the film...too many things were left out and...the firebolt? At the end? WTF....and Pig? Maybe if I didn't read the book I wouldn't be so upset...but uh...that butchered the book so badly.

I have my tickets already!! They're for the opening day, the 10.30 pm session and possibly the best seats since I doubt many people will have already bought their tickets, considering it opens on the 19th :P
yaaaaaaaaaaay!! I'm going to see Harry!! And I'm going to see Hermione!! ah, yes and Ron too... :roll:

-
lol i love ron! he's my favorite, and he's so hysterical in this movie :-P i love his facial expressions!
lol I love Ron too!!! And he's the funniest on the new movie! Like when Hermione tries to "talk" to the werewolf! And he's like: good dog, nice doggy... LOL!!! So so funny!!!

It was BRILLIANT!
Absolutely AMAZING!!!
I'm not going to say that the book was better rah rah ...
But, everything everyone said here was 100% correct!!!
Though one thing, i'm so glad I read the book before watching the movie!!! :-)
SSSooo many things were left out, and only very briefly touched upon in the movie that were sssoooo detailed in the book ... That's what I love about the book ,.. the subtilties ... (sp?)
Having said that, cinamatographically (if that's even a word LOL :-)) it's FUCKING BRILLIANT!!! Unbelieveably amazing!!!
(This ones for the LJ peeps) You know that song i'm always going on about ... the "flying music" by Vanessa Mae (which I will post up soon enough sorry for the tardiness) ... well that song is PREFECTLY captured in the scene where Harry rides the hippogriff!!! That's it there! The song personified ... or movieonified :? whatever ...
Gosh the landscape is stunning! England is sssssoo beautiful.
Was it shot in England? Well where ever it was shot was spectacular!!!
Sooo many times you get goose-bumps, and you lose your breathe slightly
oh gosh I could go on for DAYS about it ....
Jules you were right in everything you said ... and I want to see it again LOL :-)
whoever said that none of the sub-plots were followed and only the main one was ... only one main plot ... yeah I see how that worked now ...
shit there was NO WAY they could fit everything though ... good idea to read the book first ... I don't think they BUTCHERED the book like someone says, but ... it's a good idea to read it first ...
though, the director does a MARVELLOUS job ... what's his name? He does a good job in keeping faithful to the book ... they don't leave out THAT many things ... definately not any of the MAIN things ... the more subtle things ... well what do you expect! If the movie went for 5 hours, you'd also complain... so basically it's a good balance ...
anyway, that's why you READ the book ...
Whoever said Ron was comic relif .... omg ... RON IS A CRACK-UP!!!
He's great .. I never used to be a big fan of Ron, and they do give him sort of a dopey role in the movie ... he's a little more heroic in the book ... but ... still, he's great value :-)
Those facial expression ... those little things he says when everyone's comcentrating on Harry .. and he sneaks in a sly/dumb comment ...
omg and when he's talking about tap-dancing spiders ROTFLMAO!!! I was in stitches!!!
And Hermione!! You fall in love with her character .... she's not an "insufferable know-it-all brat" at ALL!!!
She's rather endearing in the movie I though! SHe's lovely, and she's vunerable in the movie ... so much better than that hard-shelled unbreakable character she is in the book ...
And Harry ... *sigh* :-) I love Harry ...
Whoever said the new Dumbledore is ... too energetic ... YYYEEESSS ... the old Dumbledore had an aire about him ... wise, and noble and clean .. this one is excited and he ties up his beard! what's with that! It looks dirty too :? You don't feel he's in total control ... you don't feel he's someone that Lord Voldemort would be petrified of ... you don't feel he has that aire about him ... :?
I love the cinematography ... gosh England truely is a magical place.
Whatelse ... um, yeah I could seriously go on for days :-)
It was very very good ....
And whoever said they got their tickets early ... good idea ... the cinema had 5 sessions going, and all 5 were sold out!
And this is a school-night at 9.30pm ... even the 7.30pm session was totally sold .... I don't want to know about a weekend, or Friday night ...
Hey they gave out free posters too :-) w00t!!! :-D
My friends all gave me theirs :-) I have lots of Harry Potter posters ... I'll put one in the lab at work, one in the lab at Uni, and one at home :-)
I'm all Harryied out now :-)
I'm a pot-head ;-)

YEAH!!! Landscape is really awesome!!! I don't know if it was shot in England either but it's really beautiful!!!
Jules you were right in everything you said ... and I want to see it again LOL
Haha and I was thinking bout it and yea, I wanna watch it again even tho I've seen it twice already! lol
Whoever said Ron was comic relif .... omg ... RON IS A CRACK-UP!!!
Ron is hilarious!!! He's so cuuuute!!! lol when Harry asks him if he's alright and then he goes talk to Sirius.. And Hermione goes up to see if he's alright and he's like: nooo, it hurts... I think they'll have to cut it off! lol That's hilarious!!!
And Hermione!! You fall in love with her character .... she's not an "insufferable know-it-all brat" at ALL!!!
Yup yup I like the movie Hermione better than the book one! :wink:
Whoever said the new Dumbledore is ... too energetic ... YYYEEESSS ... the old Dumbledore had an aire about him ... wise, and noble and clean .. this one is excited and he ties up his beard! what's with that! It looks dirty too You don't feel he's in total control ... you don't feel he's someone that Lord Voldemort would be petrified of ... you don't feel he has that aire about him ...
Yea.. :( the new Dumbledore... Blah... I miss the original one cuz he was THE Dumbledore... Oh but I believe he tied up his beard too... I'll have to check it later... But he was soooo peaceful!
Hey they gave out free posters too w00t!!!
Aaaahh! I was wondering if I'd get posters cuz I did when I went to see the 2nd one.. But they didn't have it this time...
-
Okay so my friend wanted to go out since she got her license a while ago, so we decided to see a movie today.
we went on down to the theaters and we chose to watch Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.... :evil:
B-O-R-I-N-G!
gosh, I kept moving around in my seat waiting for some action and maybe...just maybe a little comedy!!!
But nooooo.....god....this movie was worse than the second!
:x
