GoF is INCOHERENT from scene to scene, and you can't follow it if you haven't read the book.
Sorry, PD, your terrible taste loses again. GoF is the only movie in the series that I consider disappointing. They tried to cram too much in and it ended up a mess.

I think you are being blind to GoF's very obvious problems, like the unexplained bipolar reactions to Harry in the school. These are all explained in the book, but not in the movie. In one scene, everyone hates Harry. In the next, they love him again. It doesn't feel natural and it's not explained in anything resembling a satisfying manner. Everyone in the school just comes off as FUCKING CRAZY. It makes NO FUCKING SENSE.
PD...what the fuck?
Do you think when Maurice and Jake are post-coital, spooning after an intimiate, sweaty session of passionate man sex, that they have a lively debate on Harry Potter adaptations as Maurice curls Jake's hair with his fingers?/me shutters

Why would I be blind to them, the movie isn't worth blindly defending. Everyone hates Harry for the same reason Ron hates him - for being a show boat and allegedly putting his name into the Goblet. When he starts competing they finally come around to him, along with Ron.
If that was confusing you just weren't paying attention

You're totally blind. It wasn't so clear to me in the movie and I have read the book multiple times. You see, I can compartmentalize the book from the movie and keep them as distinct entities in my head. The book communicates what's going on effectively, whereas the movie does not.
Meet the Cooks, 2007 (dir. Will Federman)Brokeback Mountin' Accountants
A touching dramedy about an interracial gay couple who go home to Michigan for the holidays, as the home-schooled, conservative Cook family comes to terms with their new homosexual, caucasian inlaw... and a learn a little about themselves too.
GoF was confusing if you didnt have knowledge of the novel. It was a mess in editing. OOTP was solid as an adaption
No, PD, I am most certainly correct. I have seen that movie at least three times and I've read the book that many times as well. I call em as I see em and I have no reason to make shit up. I have no problem admitting when I am wrong, and I am not a bullshit artist, at least when it comes to books and movies. The issue is as I described it.

What do you mean you're correct with respect to your opinion on a movie; didn't you throw a bitch fest at me over me doing something similar (albeit dumber)? Jeez. The pacing is pretty obvious, and having seen the film more than three times it couldn't have been clearer; at the least Ron gives it way most overtly. And I'm sorry, but giving one weak example of so called coherency issues isn't a particularly impressive argument
pd, attacking tvc and his cinematic knowledge/experience won't save your clueless ass from a reaming. you couldn't fuckin' interpret unforgiven correctly!
why the hell would you read a harry potter book multiple times?and I suggest that PD's name be changed to "Maurice the Battle Dancer"...temporarily maybe?
i'm not talking about CHARACTER motivations, dipshit; i presume each scene has a greater purpose in a movie. the first scene was fucking useless -- OH BOY DEATH-EATERS ARE BACK THAT SURE FIT WELL IN A PLOT THAT DWELLED ON HIGH-SCHOOL ANGST AND A SET OF VIDEOGAME TRIALS. that scene was there for the fans and no-one else; it, like several other scenes, was throwaway and existed solely for fanservice, and it made the larger movie fucking confusing.

Actually I am looking for a good book on understanding film
Yeah. OOTP is not a great film, but it gets the job done as an adaption. I've seen all the HP films with a friend who never read the books. He was into the first 3 but nearly gave up after GoF cause he had no idea what was going on half the time. I had to basically explain the entire plot afterwards.GoF was confusing if you didnt have knowledge of the novel. It was a mess in editing. OOTP was solid as an adaption
Exactly. I wouldn't exactly give OOTP an academy award, but it was totally a competent movie. The only truly memorable thing about Goblet, for me, was the Riddle House/Graveyard at the end. But that's a hard scene to mess up, I think.
LTTP, but I finally checked out OOTP (HD version is a real eyepopper, by the way). I really liked it. Briskly paced, well-directed, and a few pretty cool scenes. Its funny, because GOF is my favorite of the books, but the movie was a festering turd. On the other hand, OOTP is probably my least favorite of the books, but I thought it was a good adaptation. Other than Prisoner, Id say its the best a Harry Potter movie has fared thusfar.Yates is again
I wouldnt be against Yates directing another movie. Who is helming HBP?

you are the only person in the world who says GoF is better than OoTP. Seriously.LTTP, but I finally checked out OOTP (HD version is a real eyepopper, by the way). I really liked it.

meh
All the Potter fans I know say GOF>OOTP :bowwhat potter fans do you know?
It's a bad movie with no saving graces.
More than you. :othen why is basically EVERYONE on the internet say OOTP>GOF but you?
Definitely the most disappointing film since Corpse Bride

Don't you mean since The Departed?

Either way, I'm done fighting about Harry Potter. Arguing with you is like TEARS IN RAIN.
WILL PEOPLE PLEASE STOP BUMPING/MAKING PD HARRY POTTER DISCUSSION
BAN!
And the third movie was great, but do I REALLY want Cuaron to waste his considerable talents on yet another Potter movie? Fuck no. Let the man do his own thang.

He'd still be spinning his wheels, wasting his time. For a director of talent, making a fucking Harry Potter movie is like the directorial equivalent of making fanfic.
Same goes for del Toro, too. Do something else, something good, something personal. Please!
