Weekend movie poll: Potter 7.2 - B .... Hall Pass - C.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Jul 18 '11, 07:25

Potter never got into 4th gear for me; it's one of those movies they coulda and shoulda put another 15 minutes in (expand Snape's flashbacks a bit) and then absolutely expand Bellatrix's battle scene.

Movie 6-8 ended up being underwhelming for me relative to what they shoulda been.

Hall Pass...it existed and for every moment I didn't like, there was something I did like.

    - For me, the worst part of X-3 is the Pyro/Iceman 'fight'....that had been built up beautifully and then ended like a 5th grade slap-fight. You create - Will Hunting Jul 18, 07:43 1
      - it's what so many TV shows do well (and some not so well). Build up the season's Big Bad and then have the payoff in the finale -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 07:49
    - this -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 07:42
Potter 7.2 A-/B+ I agree with Will that they whiffed on some of the big moments. -- nm - Inigo Jul 18, 07:31
Yeah, it's odd...some of the Potters were a smidge too long...they could have made this one longer and it would have been fine. - Jim Jul 18, 07:30 7

  - I really don't think the movie needed the 3D and I think is some places, it may have even been distracting. - Jim Jul 18, 07:56
  - a lot of 3D elements were really distracting.. i felt like i missed what was going on because something was flying in my face... not to speak for Jim. -- nm - colin Jul 18, 07:35 3
    - I felt that way with Avatar. So distracted by the 3D I missed a lot of the story...although some would say there wasn't any :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 18, 08:11
    - see, i was actually pleased with the 3d. i didn't find it distracting. -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 07:37 1
      - This was the first IMAX 3D I've ever seen and let me say, the Real 3D glasses are WAY more comfortable. - Jim Jul 18, 08:07
