For those of you who watched it, what did you think? I saw it last night and I was less disappointed than I thought I would be. But they had the same problem as with the last movie which was they didn't explain very important details.

P.S. Try not to spoil it for the people who didn't watch it yet. Very Happy

I thought it was pretty good and also not as disappointing as i thought it would be... it was just that it felt like it was set at a very frantic pace and they jumped from event to event very fast.

i also thought they skipped over some really important details. i went with my friend who has never read the books,only watched the movies, and she was really confused. i didnt like how they made it so light too. they ended the movie like it was all sunshine and rainbows but i think thats only going to mislead people because the next 2 books get alot darker,shall we say.

I saw it Saturday at the first showing (10 AM) and it was better than I thought it was going to be, but it had a really rushed feeling to it, but the book was 700+ pages, so they couldn't have done it all in the movie.. i'm glad they didn't do the split thing and have 1 movie at Thanksgiving and 1 movie at Christmas... they never really said anything about Neville's parents and why the Cruciatus Curse was such a big deal for him but it was a good movie

Yeah, Neville was left out...the mention of his parents maybe came up once or twice.

DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE!k, thanks








Alright.
I liked it. But so much stuff left out. At some points I was even confused because of the skipping. I know it would've been such a long movie if they tried to fit more stuff in... but ah. Anyway, I enjoyed it.

I almost cried when Cedric died, even though it wasn't a surprise.

I saw it today. It was a lot better then the others, but probably really confusin g for someone who hasnt read the book. Was it just me or was the beginning too fast paced?

Agreed. It felt like they just jumped into the middle of a scene that had already started.

They skipped a few chapters from the beginning.

OMG! I just saw this movie called "Be Cool" and I saw Eisley's MT video playing in the background. Has anyone else seen this?
