Harry Potter 7: The Deathly Hallows

[the kid 05]

with out giving much away (perfered anything, i still need to watch the 6th one) is it true that to stay true to the 7th book this movie would have been rated R or close to it?

I would say the 6th one if done exactly as the book would come closest to being an R.

Deathly Hallows is a solid PG-13.

So far it is my favorite HP movie. I'll need to see it a few more times before I put it to # 1.

Very fast paced. Dark.

I can't agree with that. In fact, I'd say this movie has the most deliberate pace out of all the films so far. And that's not a bad thing at all. They do barely touch on a few things they probably could (should?) have elaborated on, but I can't see saying the film is fast at all.

Shutup loser. :loser:

Good one.

My kids want to go there really bad.

I do too, but more to meet a half sister I didn't even know I had until 2 years ago. She lives not far from Orlando.

If you get the chance, go. Stay at a Universal resort to skip lines etc. HP only has 3 rides (and one of those is a kiddie one) but the Forbidden Journey makes you feel like you're in the movie. And don't forget the butterbeer!

Hey, game of thrones starting up on HBO soon.

Hadn't even heard about this, thanks for the tip.

To have done HP real justice would have needed about a 48 hour long mini series. They have to cut so much out of all the books that no matter what they do it has a jerky feel to it if you have read the books. And it does not help they keep wanting to put more romantic BS in it and more humor; that takes scenes away from really telling the story better.

They have gotten better at acting as time has gone by; which is a good thing since they need some good acting for the finale. One thing I do hope the last one does is change the final battle a little; how it is done in the books really is awkward and probably the weakest part of the whole book series.

I found it much faster paced than any of the other HP films.

Is there anyone you don't have it out for?

The name's Francis Soyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I'll kill you.

:laugh1:

You just made the list, buddy. And I don't like nobody touching my stuff. So just keep your meat-hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. Also, I don't like nobody touching me. Now, any of you ***** touch me, and I'll kill you.

The final battle was one of the better parts of the series IMO.

It was very good.

A fan made a website called The Harry Potter Lexicon. Even Rowling admitted that she used the site as a reference many times while writing other Harry Potter books and even supplied information and helped correct information on the site. Then she decided that she wanted to release her own book The Harry Potter Lexicon and decided to sue her fan and force him to shutdown his site.

She is a greedy self serving ***** that needs her *** seriously kicked.

We were going over this very thing in class the other day with regards to copyright infringement and fan fiction.

She sued because he HAD written the first draft manuscript and was shopping the idea. That strictly infringes on her intellectual property rights, which, if memory serves, are protected for 70 years after her death. Every single character, setting, and specific prop in those books are her own creation and protected as such.

Fan Fiction pieces are popular and can sustain a series. Star Wars and Star Trek have a few good ones out there, but they must be approved by those people who originally created the series or now have creative control via the estates of the original creator.

J.K. said years ago it Harry Potter was going to be seven books, and no more. She has reiterated that very point this past week via her agent.

Awesome. My kids would not have lasted through a midnight showing and still made it to school. We have tickets for tonight for the 7PM showing at the IMAX theater near us. Reserved seats, so no waiting in line for 3 hours to get a good seat.

I live near the IMAX. I wonder if it's in 3d. I may go tonight.

 

[Kevinicus]

Part one is not in 3D. Part two will be in 3D...fake 3D anyway.

Part one will be released on blu-ray in 3D and possibly have a theatrical re-release in 3D just prior to part 2 coming out.

No 3D and no reason to be in 3D.

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

No 3D and no reason to be in 3D.

Um... the Imax?

 

[xout]

Saw it tonight. Simply fantastic movie.

I haven't been that engulfed by a Potter movie yet, and I loved the books.

I really can't wait for part 2.

There is no reason for the movie to use a gimmick like 3D.

Saw it last night. Pretty good. Kind of frustrating that Harry is so weak and can't actually beat any other wizards.
