This shit was brilliant. Honestly, better than Lord of the Rings and Star Wars.

I liked it a lot deathly hallow 1+2 were my least favorite though.

You might call this a dull franchise, but I call this a serious ground for discussion of this heavily flawed series of so-called "literature". But what else could you expect from the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books were good though "No!" The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

On a rewatch hallows are quite good. I always preferred part 1 though. Cant really hate 2 because it had to be a climax and all out. Glad you appreciate the atmosphere and world building and soundtracks I do too. Nice try faggot FB is shit

Harry Potter is a great series, regardless of these so-called kino specialists shitting on it. The first two are the best ones (no cliffhangers either) third one is great too (only a cliffhanger if you give a fuck about Peter Pettigrew) from the fourth film onwards the series becomes different from the first three. The fourth one is still pretty good though, the fifth one is purely a filler. The sixth one is a fanfiction shipping fest where characters are forced into non-sensical relationships with each other, though the Malfoy side-story was arguably the best part of the story. The seventh and eighth one don't feel like Harry Potter; more like a blockbuster Twilight-esque movie. The seventh one at least had some interesting stuff (still awful) but the eighth one was just awful. Don't expect to recognize the earlier Potter films in the later installments except for the characters.
1-3: Best films 4 & 6: Decent 5: Bad 7-8: Shit

When will you learn? Also 1 2 are good but not the best. 5 6 7 are underrated as fuck

They are nothing like twilight nothing. Blame rowling because her source material had romance. They are tonal masterpieces on film.

HAHAHA

What are you even trying to accomplish posting a dishonest film from 2011+5? Does anyone even give a shit about La La Land? Is anyone talking about La La Land now? Will they be in 5 years? Go make your own thread
