Review of HP&tPoA ...

Actually a lot better than I thought it would be. Although it was FAR shorter than I expected it to be at only 2hours and some change. I fully expected to be sitting for over 3 hours.

The new Dumbledore didn't have the same atmosphere about him that the "original" Headmaster had. That being the case, I think he'd have made a good choice in playing him from the start.

The kids spent far too much time out of uniform for it being a British boarding school but at least the director didn't completely do away with them as was feared by many, me included.

There were many things missing from the film. A few of them that didn't make it were important in my opinion. Hopefully, these items will make it into the extended edition DVD.

What really dissappointed me were the trailers ...

CATWOMAN - Okay, I'll likely have to turn in my hetero card right now; but DAMMIT! Halle Berry in next to nothing is not going to make me go see this piece of tripe. Especially when they even friggin use the line, "sometimes a cat can bring the soul back to one who is fallen" WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!?

THUNDERBIRDS - a live action version of the Thunderbirds ... nuff said. LEAVE MY FUCKING CHILDHOOD ALONE!!!

A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS - Will someone please kill Jim Carrey before he rapes yet another great story? Please?

THE NOTEBOOK - I've not read the book. Correct me if I'm wrong but the story seems to be about an old man reading a story from his journal to his senile wife to try to get her to remember how they met etc etc etc ... Was this placed in the HP rotation of trailers to give something to interest the blue-haired biddies who were shanghaid into taking their ungrateful brats of grandchildren to the movies?

Michelle Pfeiffer did Catwoman the only way she should ever be done, live action. She did her right. Absolutely everything about the Halle Berry movie is wrong... I realise they were going for "next to nothing," but that's just not what Catwoman looks like. It would be a slightly inconvenient look for a jewel thief. [While I realise that Michelle Pfeiffer's costume was a bit shiny for thievery, it also seems vastly more practical and likely to conceal her in the dark.] Jim Carrey is in "Unfortunate Events"? Ugh. I really don't like him.
