as much as I love the seven-ology,
I've got to be honest about how me in particular felt about the movie.
by the way, I know there's a proper word for seven-ology but mine version's cooler.
before I say anything, one thing I'd like to put across.
J.K Rowling's books are BRILLIANT.
the movie's just totally uncomparable.
this is gonna be simply dreadful. I feel conflicted.
Liking the book makes me want to like the movie though it's really a HUGEMONGOUS disappoinment for me.
Didn't help that I just read that book too. WHOOPS.
Let's just make it quick by quoting critiques.

While the film has its moments of visual elegance, its lack of narrative rhythm and jumbled sense of forced plot points will leave ravenous Potter fans griping about what's been left out and those poor souls who haven't read the books perpetually confused.

I thought that the whole thing was incoherent.
Books can jump scenes effectively at every chapter and make a lasting impact but not this movie.
and yes, Bernice and I were raving about the interesting details and duels that were left out.
(yeah, we were complaining every say, ten minutes throughout the movie?)
TERRIBLE, I know, but we couldn't help it!
(luckily, the seat beside me was empty. Guy a seat away must've been quite annoyed though)
and they tweaked the bits they showed so much!

A Cliff Notes version of the book that misses every major plot point and narrative thrust. But hey, they certainly picked up on the teen romance. Yey, for them. Worst film Adaptation, Ever!

Exactly what I meant.
I'd rather they split the movie into parts to make a better adaptation.
the book's 600+ pages long and they squished it into 2.5 hours.
and yeapp, whatever happned to interesting lessons/obssessions over Malfoy's doings and friendships got drowned out by stupidstupid scenes of Lavender and Ron.
(eeeks)
momentuous part fo how Potter and Ginny got together totally edited.
once-thrilling Quidditch games were shortened and made just plain funny, climax none whatsoever!
Apparition lessons and tests, biggest final game of Quidditch, Potter landing in hospital, about 4 pensieve memories all NOTICEABLY excluded.
it seemed under-done! EVERYTHING!
and since when was the invisibility cloaked left unused and since when was it GREY and DIRTY?
nothing spectecular about the setting and I really don't understand why most critiques liked it so much.
Plot's undeveloped, thoroughly unclimatic.
one thing I enjoyed though, would be the funny parts.
and RON who is cute acting dazed and in love.

but I felt it seemed like a 2.5 hour teaser than something resembling a movie.
doesn't mean I like Radcliffe any less eh.
