[HPFGU-Movie] More Chicago screening reviews

[Cabal]

On second thought, I take it back, I don't want them to release "this" movie
in November. 
I want them to do re-shoots and re-edits and release it next year so that it
resembles the book it was based on!

 

What really shocked me is the 2hr 45min running time, HPB is not as densely
plotted as Phoenix or Gobet, so I'm thinking in that time frame they could
do a hell of a job.

 

I think reducing Tom Riddle's life to 2 events is just crazy. The films and
the final film would be so much richer if, like the book, we learn more
about Voldy. One issue with books like LOTR is that the evil is just there,
it never becomes a character. This movie should have been cleverly edited
with the flash-backs and main story criss-crossing. Especially since the
main story is the flashbacks. There's not much other than hormones and
Slughorn in the book except the flashbacks and Malfoy.

 

Sounds to me like the dropped the ball, stepped on it, popped it, threw it
in the trash.

******* MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING *******

If you are interested in other reviews from the Chicago test screening 
of HBP, you will find a couple on the following website: 
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/38251

I found it interesting to read reviews posted on a site other than TLC 
or Mugglenet, which are both splendid Potter sites of course but, 
IMHO, very much in WB's back pocket.

Anyway... please don't read unless you don't mind really massive 
spoilers.
