... THAT BATTLE WON'T EVEN BE THERE FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the Battle for Hogwarts was completely different- the whole school was being rent apart. The movies couldn't possibly be same-y. Unless Yates intends to tone down the seventh films as well.

GRRRR.....

I know, mb!!
But I guess they want to make the final battle stand out, lol. There are only so many ways a battle can be done. Still, ARGHH!!!

Two years. I can't wait that long!!! Sad

It's ok Jemma. Its ok. At least we know it's coming, with a decent cast and amazing special effects.

Unlike Percy Jackson...

Yeah, we know that much. Percy Jackson?
Anyways, back onto HBP here...
Was good. Loved it. It could have been better. 8/10

They (reviewers) said that not only was it good as a Harry Potter film, but also that it was great as a general movie.

It was my favorite HP, and I rate it 9/10

SO LONG TO WAIT!!!! I am emotionally unable to wait that long. Unless I have HP6 on DVD. Then, possibly.

Percy Jackson? That Greek gods thing???

Yes, that series. Please, for the sake of your innocence, do not look up the cast.

I personally thought that HPB was VERY boring. It was the second-cheesiest romantic comedy i'd ever seen.

Too late. My sister loves the series and looked it up already. She kind of forced me to look at it. And I couldn't argue in front of my dad. But I don't really remember, so I won't try xD

It was a little cheesy, I guess. I really think they should have stuck to the story. The extra stuff they put in took as long as the real thing would have. But overall it was a good movie, I think.

It was ok. I won't give it two thumbs up. It's like Transformers 2- We ask for a whole lot of stuff, and finally the director says (mentally) "**** this, we're doing this my way, and to hell with the script!"

Only, this time around, Yates asked his scriptwriters to look at a few scenes and cut stuff out.
Michael Bay was probably like, "To hell with screenwriting altogether! Let's put in more robots voiced by Spongebob!!!"

And thus, Revenge of the Fallen.

Sorry, LOT of letdowns this summer.

Bonnie! I DID NOT FORCE YOU TO LOOK AT THE SERIES! WE HAD TO FOR BOOK CLUB!!!

I actually really really liked it Smile

I was anticipating the Battle for Hogwarts to be the culmination point, but they focused more on Harry's internal struggle, which I guess was alright too. I was actually pleasantly surprised with how much they included in the movie... It wasn't nearly as horrendous as OotP. They did change so stuff, obviously, but not unsuccessfully so. Yay!
