Wtf did I just watch?
Ok you cannot watch it with partial attention. I did not understand it. But after I watched the explanation video on YT I was also convinced I would have not get it anyway.
Good movie for people that are into nonsense stories and don't really care about what is going on, the only "good scenes" are the ones with kisses.
impossible not to notice how heavily celine's skin is filtered/edited. apart from that, a cute and funny movie
Am I the only one who got a REALLY bad vibe from Raquelle ?
She seems like a parasite + CLEARLY DO NOT understand mental health
I clearly don't know their relationship, but it's a feeling I have
She still hit her with a car though :skull: like i'd be crazy enough to forgive her for everything else but girl... cmon now...
The most unrealistic part is expecting middle-aged and elderly Italian people to address you in English. Haha I’m kidding (or not)
“The world is full of lonely people afraid to make the first move.”
Maybe it‘s because I just re-read the novel before watching it again, but this movie is jarring in its simplicity compared to the book. I get that you can‘t cram all the contents of almost 800 pages into a normal-length film, and some plot points need to be made more plain because exposition isn‘t as easy in this medium*, but it felt like they left out some scenes for budget reasons (like the world cup) but then over-dramatised scenes which didn‘t really need it (like the first task) or added completely superfluous ones (like the dance scene) - and of course, there‘s the parts changed for no conceivable reason, like the Beauxbatons/Durmstrang gender separation (are there no male French wizards??), the maze (surely the special effects budget was taxed just as much by this as it would have been by a Sphinx?) and the much-criticised angry!Dumbledore.
*I get leaving out Bertha Jorkins or Neville giving Harry the Gillyweed, for example, it‘s unnecessarily convoluted for a movie, but I hate the parts where they change things for „clarity“ (because they think viewers are idiots) and then ruin the whole point - like Polyjuice Potion not transforming your voice, which they thankfully changed for this movie, or someone‘s eyes glazing over under the Imperius Curse (despite Moody saying you couldn‘t tell who was under its influence).
How is this movie getting such glorified reviews??? While the action scenes are fine, the story is somewhere between illogical and ridiculous.
None of the story lines make any sense, it's just one fight/chase after the next up until the idiotic finale. And yeah, let's connect the laptop of our villain super-hacker to the local network, what could go wrong.
I feel that this material would lend itself much better to a TV show. As it is, it's an OK movie.
It was enough to make me want to read the books, only because of the different way to see vampires. After read all the books I decided see it again. Bad, bad decision. (Now, I would give a 3 or 4)
