Is it the general consensus that the 5th movie sucked? Because I really thought it was a great movie. Just as a movie, by itself, it was pretty freakin' good. Maybe something was lost in the translation (err...lost in the book-to-movie interpretation?), but as a movie it was awesome. I've asked people who aren't HP fanatics which movies they preferred, and most of them picked the 5th one.
 I don't think you can ever satisfy everybody. Plus, there was no possible way they could've put every detail into the movie. The 5th book is the longest out of all the HP books, the details endless...you would literally have an 8 hour movie on your hands, maybe even longer. It's simply not realistic to cram everything into a movie just for the sake of being detailed. I always go into it thinking that I'm going to judge this new HP movie as a film, not as a comparison to the book. It's not realistic to compare. |

It's not realistic to compare. i agree with you. i loved the 5th movie. maybe if i had read the 5th book over again directly before watching it then i would have been outraged as it seems some people are, but i duno. it was a good movie. |
