Ok, I don't want people yelling at me, especially after so many
people have said Snape was just right in this film....but didn't the
facial make up for Rickman leave something to be desired? Snape was
more pasty pale, with more of a sag to his cheeks - some what more
puffy than in PS/SS...I was dissapointed.
Now don't get me wrong - I simply ADORE Rickman as Snape. He was my
highlight in the previous movie, much like Jason Issacs is in this
one. I went to the move more for my Snape fix than I'd be willing to
admit...and thats why I'm nitpicking! :)
In the books, Snape menaces more by his arrogance, and sweeping
movements are more his style (bat-like imagery). Here, it was more a
creepy kind of scary.I felt that Rickman had to work extra hard to
bring out the arrogant, cold Snape given that he mostly had just his
eyes to work with - He's muffled up to his neck making only sideways
tilts of his head at all noticeable, and the puffy cheeks usually
hamper his mouth....oh well, that could also be just me! He wasn't
clean-cut in the first move to begin with.
Overall, Snape was great..but didn't quite live up to the promise of
the last movie. Maybe I should go see both again and verify that!

think I was Pig?)
