Movie Review (very long--you've been warned)

Chris ... "Golden Snitches should be bigger than open mouths, 
shouldn't they? Hard to see that this wouldn't have resulted in at 
least a few broken teeth."

But Harry *does* catch the Snitch in his mouth.  It was one canon-
loyal detail I was very impressed to see left in.

Barb, loved the review, dear.  Like an extra chapter of ToGI to see 
us through another few days ;).  I too was unimpressed with Emma, 
although not as unimpressed as you were.  I thought she pulled off a 
difficult job with a certain amount of style - but there were moments 
for me when she grated, especially in the 'if Harry and Ron hadn't 
turned up, I'd be dead now' sequence.  Equally, I think some of Dan's 
acting was equally bad.  The scene with Firenze was one of the worst 
bits of film I have ever seen.  Dan was wooden, the lines were 
contrived, and Firenze was utterly dismal.  I hated that scene the 
first time round, and I hated it the second time ... and on the third 
viewing, I came to loathe it.

By the way.  This may never get off the ground, but I would like to 
have a go at re-writing a 'perfect' screenplay based on some of the 
comments here, and would like to gauge the group's interest in such 
an idea.
