[HPFGU-Movie] visual depth

[Trevor]

I severely dislike POA the movie but I appreciate the stunning visuals and
stronger acting involved.  The visuals and acting however do not make the
movie.  They are important aspects to any movie but hopefully not the
definitive ones.  I felt that the plot was too weakened by lack of detail.
As I said before, if felt like Cliff notes made into a movie.

 

I searched for a forum to talk about this movie because I felt that it had
changed the odds of all movies being made.  After the commercial success of
the first two movies I, and most others, took for granted that all seven
movies will be made.  I am unsure whether I will be seeing the forth movie
in theaters or buying POA, I do not think I am the only one with this
dilemma.

Visually there was more depth to POA.  Especially when it came to landscape.

In the first two films everything seemed to be on the same plane, almost
flat. 
The 3 would run out of Hogwarts and turn left, and down a gentle slope to 
Hagrid's house.
In POA it had the terrane of Scotland with hills and glens and valleys -- 
rocks and boulders jutting out of the ground -- very Stonehenge or Celtic 
feeling.  

As for the acting -- under the new Director they blossomed.  Dan wasn't just

opening his eyes wider each time he was scared -- he was actually acting.

I felt the most important part of the story was left out.  When Lupin tells 
Harry who made the map.
