I know this is going to be pretty unpopular for some of you, but the Harry Potter Movies suck. The books are brilliant. Don't get me wrong I am not making any attack on the whole Harry Potter idea, just on the butchered versions of the stories thats' crap wastes film reels of far better potential use.
I know it cliche to attack the movie and rant about how much better the book is but there really is just so much lost.
First off Daniel Radcliffe is a freakin dewb and a horrible, horrible actor. He's one of the those actors that remind you its just a movie and instead of getting into the story for the rest of the film all you can think about is how badly you'd like to punch him in the face but you can't because it's just projected light on a screen which further reminds you it's only a movie. The two who play Ron and Hermione are pretty good but Radcliffe is just awful.
The movies take the stories and cut out the action scenes and string them together in a choppy sequence of nonsequitur tacky cliche blockbuster movie moments crudely into a horrible waste of 2.5 hours. It leaves out the inbetweens; the moments that allow the story to flow for the world to come real in your mind. This is exactly the disgusting effect of the commercialization that is so often ranted against. It takes something beautiful and enriching and makes it cheap and hollow.
