Movie rant - might contain spoilers

[nkafkafi]

I've just been visiting TLC, and I took a quick look at the new GoF
clips. What can I tell you -  I'm sooo glad I never had any plans to
watch this movie. These clips are just horrible. Everybody is
overacting. Haven't they heard that British actors are supposed to be
better, not worse, than the average Hollywood actor? It looks like the
director was going "hurry, guys, hurry! We have 150 scenes to squeeze
into a single movie! There will be a fat bonus to the actor with the
highest words per minute count!" all the time. Moody isn't deformed,
isn't scary at all, acts hyperactive instead of paranoid (probably the
winner of the words per minute bonus), and his magic eye looks, well,
like a plastic eye attached with a strap. Rita Skeeter looks... cute,
actually. I wouldn't mind being shut in a closet with her and tell her
all about my sad life <g>. Hermione's Cinderella scene (which doesn't
exist in the book, but who cares about that anymore) looks as if it
was directed specially for – well, I guess 12 yrs old girls *are* a
large percentage of the target audience, but still... .  Snape going
cuffing students and none of then seems to care the least – say
goodbye to the legend of Rickman's charisma. And Hogwarts looks
gloomier than ever. I don't think I'd ever want to visit the place.

I'd avoid this movie. At all costs.
