Went and saw it last night.

Alright...

Acting- MUCH BETTER! Substanitally...I'm glad that the kids are doing better, and they have a lot more characters in the new film, so it's not just the MOD squard running around cauing trouble.

Plot- If you've read the books, then you know. I'm glad it took a turn for the darker...Lot''s of killer forshadowing, and the ending isn't too shabby either.

Effects- Not too bad...Granted I saw it after working a 12 hour day, so I mgiht be wrong about this...but the Dragons were well done.

Dislikes- Outside of the shiity screenplay...Which I have come to expect. Dumbledor (sp?) looks freakishly thin, and the teachers at the school could really get down on their acting classes.

Overall- It wasn't too shabby. I'd rather see it in theaters than at home...If anything for theQuiddich World Cup and the Dragon scenes. I found the film rather humorus, but I enjoyed the slight teen angst side to it...

*** 1/2

I went and saw this last night at The Pinnacle. I thought the visuals were good.....some of the storyline was eh....found the school dance to be cliche and it seemed thrown in the middle of everything.
One thing I was confused about....the girl that was competing in the Tri-Wizard Championship....I thought she was disqualified from further tasks after she couldn't complete the underwater task?
Maybe I missed something there....maybe I was tired after eating so much turkey....but...to me...it didn't make sense, because she went ahead and competed in the maze/labrynth task.
Anyways.....I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars for plot and 4 out of 5 for visuals.

Yea...you rank in each event...If yuo live...you compete...I gues I don't know I don't read the books. I thuoght the dance fit perfectly for the themes of the film/book. Teen Angst, Isolation, puberty? Maybe that was just me, but what school doesn't have a single dance in 4 years?

ah...ok.
Guess I was sorta tired that evening.

I totally understand that. I thought the movie was going to be an hour and a hlf tops...not 3! I worked all day, and then went that night...But the Pretzels at Pinniacle are fucking awesome!
