Potter Mania...

As i said i would, i have gone to see Potty Potter earlier...and...it was a disappointment...

Rating: 5/10

It's gotta be the director, and the casts, and the story...nth seems to work right for this sequel...geez, c'mon....it's been like the fourth episode already, wont the main casts (Daniel, Emma and Rupert) learn to be more expressive and captivating? Im just getting a lil' bored by their usual antics, hanging around each other, expressing jealousy and throwing tantrum at one another...

And i know how thick the book is, but does that mean you have to change from one scene to another in an abrupt manner? it's like kill joy when you expect to see more...perhaps showing a little action in the quidditch match wont b too much to ask for?

Also, what's with Harry? Aint he supposed to be a hellava wizard with a respectable pedigree? why is he always portrayed as a weekling, showing fear and cowardy attitude, for goodness sake, if you cant approach a gal to ask her to dance, then cast a freakin' spell...Dork...

Cliche, cliche...J.K.Rowling has a liking to always masquerade a good guy with a bad character...i wont call it a twist...we've seen too much from the previous episodes...think professor Quirrell, think professor Snape, think Sirius black...

While i enjoyed some scenes, the CGI this time around aint as impressive, the OST was OKAY, i wonder if John William was behind it, and i dunno...everything seems to be only SO SO...not exactly blockbuster material, and definitely not oscar nominee material...

Now talking bout Oscar Nominee, gosh, am i not anticipating Memoirs of a Geisha? the trailer was catchy, a total hit...though i must say that i have been disappointed times-a-plenty with impressive trailers which turned out to be a total flop...but we've gotta give Stephen Spielberg some credit in this, and of course, author Arthur Golden for his spectatular piece of work...I wish Zhang ZiYI can speak better English though....but then again, she's playing as a Geisha, now who would expect a Geisha to know English?

Anyway, it happens to be the most anticipated film of the year...let's wait and see...
