Transformers 2 and Harry Potter 6


Ok, 2 summer blockbusters.. Watched it all at Eng Wah in Suntec, courtesy of discounted tickets from Stand Chart... Ha.. Well, i like the quality of the movie there, all digital, super clear and huge screen....
Anyway, down to these 2 movies.. I must say, I officially think Rotten Tomatoes reviews are totally crap... 80% for Harry Potter and 20% for transformers... -______- Guess which movie I will choose to watch again... Seriously, whats with critics... Are they paid to do these reviews??? why is it so skewed.....
Just finished watching Harry Potter today... the thing about Harry Potter is that they always change directors.. The worse one is the one where scenes proceeded with the screen blacking out and transiting to the next.. Like watching a powerpoint presentation.... The best was the one with the fight with Bellatrix... The newest addition was like.... o.0 I really dunno how to describe it... Its slow, draggy, heading to nowhere... They can simply cut into 3 parts and show it as a miniseries on TV.... The end is worse, left everyone hanging... Yea I know its a build up to the last book, but at least give it some sort of a punch... How I wish I only get to see it together with the last movies for the last book, I heard its gonna be in 2 parts... The lamest thing is when Snape said he was the half blood prince right at the end.. and thats it... o.0 It sounds like they had done the entire movie and forgotten to mention the half blood prince, and Snape comes along and puts in that sentence... I mean, Daivd Yates did do a pretty good job on Order of Phoenix, but this??? On the next 2 part installment, the first will have a social-realist feel and the next an operatic theme.... Social-realist feel!! Wow.. They should might as well rename it the Documentary of Harry Potter.. The funny thing is that the actors and actresses in it appear so used to their roles, as if they are living their lives on a daily basis.. Ok, the good part about the movie was that the actors have really matured.. It was a convincing performace, esp from Horace Slughorn.. If Im not wrong, he acted in Moulin Rouge too... Anyway, the part where Dumbledore died and everyone raised their Wands was the best scene indeed.. Almost gave in a tear too.. Well, the whole movie was like sitting in a car, moving through the country, nothing that exciting, nothing that bumpy. Just a smooth, slow ride to the horizon....
I still cant believe it got 80% and Transformers got a 20%.. WTH!!! I would give Harry a 60% and Transformers 60% too.. I do agree that the robots did outshine the actors in Transformers, but what do you expect, its Transfomers, not Transformer's boy hero... It was all about the robots in the beginning.. But really, whats with the Primes looking like scrawny prawn like robots..
