Dementeleus Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) And trust me, I don't want to undersell Potter here at all. I was a BOM lurker for nearly 8 years, and I can say with full confidence that I'm a bigger Potter fan than Noctis is. I'm never going to make any attempt to make it look bad. I'll be your huckleberry. Edited March 25, 2012 by Telemachos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I know the Lionsgate/Summit folks can be kind of stingy with budgets so the higher this goes the better. I want a decent budget increase for Catching Fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Snape's death was incredibly suspenseful. The scene where they man the boundaries of Hogwarts was a perfect mix of visuals and music. The Prince's Tale is probably the best scene I've seen all year; emotional, beautifully acted, and immaculately edited. Bellatrix had too little screen-time, though, which sucks. But other than that, you should enjoy the fuck out of it. When my hallucinations stopped and I could see The Hunger Games instead of DH2, I enjoyed it more but I can't help but feel that the last few minutes could have been way more suspenseful. Nice. Thanks for the review. Did the shaky cam become a non factor the second time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 :lol:Nice. Thanks for the review. Did the shaky cam become a non factor the second time?No, it was still a factor...definitely was. I swear, it genuinely seemed like the cinematographer was getting constantly zapped by Gary Ross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharpie Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I don't really understand the shade thrown at HP. This film owes part of its success to HP and Twilight and I doubt these books would have been picked up for adaptions if it weren't for their successes.Plus i dont think it's really fair to compare an 8th movie to that of a 1st movie. SS's adjusted gross is 437.7m (BOM) which DH2's adjusted gross doesn't even compare to. Another factor is that HP is innately british. The moment when HG breaks out overseas will tell whether it can truly compare with HP's popularity. AKA it wont cause SS made 970 (unadjusted right off the bat) .

TLK Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 The Bat is going down and THG has a 50/50 shot at 400 million. I just don't see it collapsing any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Bourne Supremacy's camera work was ass. THG's was stylistic with a tendency to go slightly overboard at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 It was just really headache inducing until you got used to it.It didn't give me a headache at all.

Noctis Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 THG could have been more visually pleasing. Eclipse was a Twilight film that still looked pretty damn good visually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eclipse was a Twilight film that still looked pretty damn good visually.I didn't say there wasn't a better way it could have been shot, I just don't think it was really detracting like a lot of people seem to be making it out to be.
