Utterly unremarkable, but what would one expect from one of the dullest franchise 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.

I'm glad they didn't make more of these. People thought FnF was ridiculous around that time, but you got this shit.

Too bad the rest of the 'trilogy' didn't have the enough of a budget to do it again.

>>81629828
Not that this place would know anything but these first two were remastered and shown for the first time in imax format in october. I saw them and they looked fantastic besides the quidditch .

They were smart enough to use a combination of CGI, massive miniatures and animatronics to mix up what they showed you so you didn't get too used to one type of effect.

I hear Casper Van Diem isn't up to much these days. He should totally reprise his role.

>>81631857
He aged well.

>>81631857

He did do the third movie, but he wasn't really the star. I think it was an excuse to show his dick off.

>>81630102
hhaha everything you grew up knowing is shit tier and the obscure little known books that I "read" is god-tier because I posted it on an anime board

>>81629952
lol I'm glad I didn't watch that shit.

Is this counter bait? I feel like this is counter bait. You're taking the bait on purpose, aren't you. Dammit.
