GOF was shoddily directed! Disappointing! - Page 2

Hey guys, this is just my opinion. 😊 I know ppl loved the movie too.

I guess my expectations were a bit higher.

i luved the movie..i wld say its the bst of the 3...ppl hv different opinions don they...so v cnt change their opinions#!

The scene switching was far too abrupt and the movie in itself lost the story somewhere in a barrage of special effects. People who had not read the books barely understood what was happening!

yaa i agree coz my parents kept intreuppting me
but i literally cried in d last scene n d best scene was in d movie d dan ron fight n moaning mrtyl but i was dissapoited to know dat d oder contendors of triwqizard tourno had noo dialoge sat all atleast vicur hadnt none

I saw The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the witch and the Wardrobe today and it honestly is better than GOF! People should check it out. The storyline, effects and acting were just superb!
Please dont be offended as this is just my opinion.
I am a HUGE fan of HP, as you all know, but I was very very disappointed with this movie.

i totally agree wid u i mean;
narnia took 3 years 2 make while GOF took only a year
it also received a lot of publicity
even members of the royal family came
it waz also held at the royal albert hall

Hi all,

I FINALLY saw GOF after a month of waiting, but I'm sorry to say that I was disappointed with it!

Now, my disappointment did not stem from either of these things:

- The fact that parts were cut out (I know its not possible to get much detail in a 2.5 hr movie.)

- The deviations such as Barty Crouch Jr being shown from the beginning itself, etc (I dont mind deviations as long as they are integrated well enough)

But, I WAS disappointed by MIKE NEWELL'S Direction and the editing of the movie.

The scene switching was far too abrupt and the movie in itself lost the story somewhere in a barrage of special effects. People who had not read the books barely understood what was happening!

And what was with everyone's dialogue delivery? The actors were not even clear when they spoke their lines! 😕 And everyone was pushing and shoving each other for no reason!

The Post Yule-Ball Ron/Hermione scene was HORRIBLY shot! Where is the shock, the bewilderment on Ron's face as Hermione yells out that he should have asked her out 1st? This was a huge downer for me because it was one of my favourite scenes in the series!

The only powerful scene was the Graveyard scene where Voldemort is resurrected and Cedric's death scene.

Emma Watson was superb! Kudos to that girl; she will go far! 👏

Dan Radcliffe held up his end pretty well even with shoddy editing and direction.

Rupert Grint was wasted in this movie! We have seen better examples of his talent in the other 3 movies.

The other three Champions - Robert, Clemence, Stanislav - could not be judged as they barely had a role to play.

Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman were good as usual.

Michael Gambon --- the less said about his acting, the better. 🤢

I dont know if anyone else agrees with me, but I feel that the Harry Potter movies are slowly losing their charm and the power to move the audience with acting.

I know that many people think the 4th movie is better than the 1st one, but I feel that even though it lacked in special effects, a buffer Dan Radcliffe and Cedric Diggory 😛, it had a magic which GOF is devoid of.

omg... you know you make a lot of good points I can agree with~! Like how all the scenes were put together like legos. Plus, I did have to explain to my brother who hasn't read any of the books what was going on cuz. he started getting really confused and stuff. I'm pretty sure he wasn't the only one who was.

But I didn't really notice anything about Rupert not having many scenes in the movie. But I did notice that Tom Felton HAD ABSOLUTELY NO SCENES~! And the scene I was looking forward to the most was his expression when he sees Hermione enter the Yule Ball. 😭 I was sooo sad ... 😭 I mean he looks soo nice a suit 😭 .... and they didn't even show him WEARING IT at the YULE BALL~! 😭 I'm a big Tom Felton fan and as fangirl I wanted to see my man in suit! argh~! I was really dissapointed with that.

okay ... anyway ummm I have to agree that the Yule Ball was kinda blah. When I read the book I pictured it to be very extravagant and luxurious but it ended being like some any other fancy teen party.

I also agree with you that this movie lacked that Harry Potter magical charm. It's really different from the other 3 movies .... a little too different actually. I just lost that "magical" feel when I watching it.

But I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy watching the film. The action was great and the comedy was hilarious especially with Ron.

And I'll definately check out The Chronicles of Narina tho cuz. it looks really cool.

Jeez, I feel so left out, everyone knows what they're talking about but I can hardly say!

You know, HP movies are usually difficult to understand if you haven't read the book - anyone I go with who hasn't read the books usually turns to me and has to ask me what happened, why it happened, what was the meaning behind it, and just a couple of, "I don't get it 😕 "s. Lol.

awww...dont worry Rash. You should develop your opinion only after you see the movie.

I went in super excited as I had heard great things from people. But, when I saw it for myself, my opinion was different (unfortunately)

I think that this HP movie was even more difficult to understand for someone who hasn't read the books. the other three were not that difficult to follow along if you listened closely.

No, Rupert had scenes, but I meant that apart from a few funny scenes with Dan, his talent was wasted. I'm still grumpy about post Yule Ball!

Yeah, I agree about Tom hardly having a role except for the ferret scene. I wanted to see him with Pansy at the Ball and gape at Hermione with shock.

He did look really cute during the world cup scene, though.
