visual depth

>>I think that another massive change in style by another director 
will hurt the franchise. The movies need to compliment one another 
and present a full story- this is the weakness of PoA. I disliked PoA 
not because of the detail cuts, but because I felt it was a bad movie-
 although visually stunning at times.<<

Thank you for clarifying that, I was sort of confused about what you 
meant before. I can certainly understand what you mean, switching 
directers / visual style in the middle of a series is a little 
jarring and can sometimes kill a franchise (Batman, anyone?), but 
personally I think it works for Harry Potter. I sort of wish a 
different directer had come on for Chamber of Secrets (but that's 
another post). Each book has a different feel to it, while they are 
all under the same premise, each book/movie has Harry a year older 
and the plot is different. The feel of each book is different, so it 
works if the movies are slightly different in visual style.

As far as liking the movie or not, that's personal preference. Some 
liked it, some didn't. I won't try to change your mind.
