POA Box Office Figures (was Re: visual depth)

[huntergreen_3]

>>I don't think reviews are always the be all and end all of whether 
or not a movie is good. Regardless, I never said reviewers or movie 
critics didn't like the movie, I said there were loads of negative 
comments from fans on the IMDb and Yahoo Movies who felt disappointed 
as I did.<<

I don't put much stock in reviews either (and very often they differ 
from what actual people enjoy). However, though, as far as written 
comments from fans on IMDB and Yahoo, from what I've noticed a lot of 
the most vocal people are the people with really negative reviews 
(obviously if you're a huge fan of the book and the movie really 
disappointed you, you're more likely to write a review than someone 
who just liked the movie and doesn't feel too strongly about it). The 
user ratings are rather interesting, though. SS/PS and CoS are rated 
7.3/10 and PoA is currently rated 7.8/10. Of course, the other two 
have been out longer, and its very possible that PoA might slip with 
time (I recall it being higher right after it came out, like in the 
8's somewhere), but at the moment it appears fans do like it more 
than the other two.
If our poll here is any indication, more people liked it than didn't, 
but of course we're all on a Harry Potter discussion group, so even 
if the movie was complete crap (as I'm aware it might be to some 
people), there'd still be a number of people who liked it anyway.
