I love Holmes and Watson, and you should see my collection of DVDs on them!, but for some reason, I did not even bother with this one. Sony tried to dump this on Netflix but were turned down. Netflix learned their lesson from those Adam Sandler comedies that they’ ve been showing since Sony (again) cut their ties with Sandler. And now it’s got Razzie nods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus 2112 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I was a huge Harry Potter fan when the books were being released, picking up each book on day 1 and have read them all multiple times. Loved the first two movies, then PoA came out, and they had a new Dumbledore. I couldn't handle the change and never watched another Harry Potter movie. On Thursday I started a marathon and plan on watching all of them. Goblet of Fire tonight. I still am a massive fan of the books and whilst I like the movies, the changes throughout really piss me off. For all the hard work put into these movies, the can come off so lazy. It took me three days to get through Goblet of Fire, and I'm not sure if I want to carry on. The books are ingrained in my mind, and there are way too many changes that make me shake my head. No quidditch world cup footage, Dolby didn't give Harry the gillyweed,, and so on, that it makes it hard to want to carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really love the audio books as well as the illustrated editions. Visually, tonally and pretty much in all other respects, the Potter movies let me down. Again I enjoy them, but I have to detach myself from the books when watching them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet somehow it stays fairly faithful to the novel in a way Half Blood Prince (The series nadir) doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand her in the books, not sure I'd want to watch her torture Harry on screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
