heheheheheheh....
I just got back from the movie. It was the best of the series IF you already knew the characters. However, it was EXTREMELY busy. There was no downtime in the film. The worst part was the bus ride which didn't make sense in light of the book. I also thought the very ending was poor. But everything in between was great film although it could end up being the red-headed stepchild of the Potter movies.
Excellent movie. Best of the bunch. It tripped over itself being politically correct: it HAD to have at least three Blacks and two Indians in it at all times. I rather doubt the real minority makeup of Britain is such. The bus trip was very entertaining, in my opinion. The fade-ins and fade-outs reminded me of something Hitchcock would do. Without spoiling the film for everyone, the movie changed around some things toward the end and, in my opinion, improved it quite a bit from the book. A lot was left out, dealing with various relationships and details, but what do you expect from a 2 hour movie?
SPOILER!!!! read at your own risk!!
