That's right. Harry Potter isn't kino. Matter of fact, it's one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises? Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

It's just the obligatory setup for a sequel

>>86942442
this. it doesn't make any narrative sense but just lets you know that freddy is somehow still alive, nancy is dreaming and he's fucking shit up. funny thing is that nightmare 3, the direct sequel, completely ignores the ending of part 1

>>86942230
absolutely no problem with horror movies. was pretty much my favorite kind of movie, i don't shy away or pause or fast forward or anything.

but i used to hate horror video games, i got really anxious.

>>86942230
For me, the real horror has now become coming of age type films and college settings. The horror is I missed out on everything and will never get it back

GYMNASTICS SCENE

It's a great movie, not as good or iconic as the original but it's still solid aside from a few select blunder scenes. Otherwise a very solid action / adventure movie, better than JP3 / World.

it was half decent, but there really wasn't a need for any sequels.

Most historians agree that Alexander was blond

>>86942078
Greeks used to be blond.

>>86942137
