Movie Time! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2

     Ah yes Harry Potter. With the release of this movie comes a closing in my childhood. I now have to face facts that their will never be a new Harry Potter anything for as long as I am alive. (unless you count Pottermore, but who honestly cares about that?) But nostalgia aside, is Harry Potter 7: The Deathly Hallows part 2 HD 3D Alpha Turbo Remix vs Capcom any good? Lets dive in!

Harry Potter; and the Deathly Hallows part 2

     

     Since this is an adaptation of book, we should discuss how well it accomplishes putting the written page on the silver screen. Unlike other book adaptations,  (COUGHERAGONTHATWASBULLSHITCOUGH) HP 7 part 2 does an outstanding job of using its source material well. When I first heard that Warner Brothers was splitting the last book into 2 movies, I kinda scratched my head. “Why would they do this?” I thought. Then after re-reading the entire series for the third time, (yes I’m sad and lonely) I noticed how much of the 7th book was not full of side quests and filler like the other books are. In fact, every chapter of that book had plot relavent things going on , and so, it would be impossible the cut scenes out like they did in the other 6 films. So they had the choice of making one long film that would likely be about 4 hours and drag like hell, or split the book into 2 films. Hey, I’d rather watch a 5 hour Harry Potter movie than Transformers 3 anytime.

My precious.....Sword of Gryffindor

     Harry Potter brings back bigshots Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), Ema Wattson (Herminoe), and Rubert Grint (Ron). They all do a fairly good job of keeping with the characters that they spent 6 other films perfecting. Radcliffe especially does a decent job as the main lead, but some scenes have him spacing out when he should be angry or upset, which is ashame, because wev’e seen that he can play mad and do it well. Other than that, the acting is top notch, emotions are portrayed well, and dramatic scenes have some real weight to them. Overall, it's a movie you can get easily sucked into, especially if you have read the books.

Daniel Radcliffe and crew put on a good show

     If you have seen the trailer for this film, chances are you know its more combat oriented compared to the first HP7 movie. A good 2/3 of the movie is a ginat battle scene that will surely remind you of Braveheart and LOTR Return of the King, but it has to said, all the battle scenes in this film look great, even the CGI parts. That’s a high compliment coming from me, seeing as how I usually detest CG. Despite being a childrens movie, HP7 part 2 is strangley violent. I know a battle is going on, but we see people getting engulfed in flames, blown up, dicinigrated, and falling off a collapsing bridge to their deaths! JEEZE! Way to strech out that PG13 rating guys.

Death and destruction, you know, for kids!

     Overall, I liked all the Harry Potter films, and this movie was the perfect way to close them out. The well done epilogue especially brought a tear to my eye. When Harry talks to his son, I almost felt like it was my adulthood coming to grips with the end of my childhood. From day one, the cast and crew of these films have been extraordinary, I’m both sad and incredibly happy that its finally come to a end. Dramatic, full of suspense, good cinematography, music, acting, and cool battle scenes, I highly recommend you check this movie out before it apparates out of theatres.

I give Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows a well deserved:

3.5/5 A solid film to close of the series.

Also, a shout out to Neville Longbottom.
Do I need a reason?

Quick Post: Ichigo becomes the Necromancer???

For anyone not reading the Bleach manga, mad spoilers ahead.

So Ichigo, when are you going to invest in Raise Skeleton?

     Am I the only one who noticed that Ichigo's new fullbring form looks a lot like the Necromancer from Diablo 2? The scary thing is that it's dead on from a perspective standpoint. The skin thight-ish black and white gothic outfit, giving the allusion of bones. Its practically identical. Don't get me wrong, it looks cool, but I can't help but think if Tite Kubo got his inspiration from D2, or if it's just a huge coincidence? Either way, I'm sure Ichigo's new look will inspire a new wave of Bleach costly, and provide us for some epic battles in the future.

Movie Time! Transformers 3 and Green Lantern

     While I was in LA at Anime Expo, I went and saw two movies at the theater with my friends. On Friday I saw Transformers 3, and on Saturday I saw Green Lantern. These movies are both supposed to be the go to summer block busters of this year, so lets see how they stack up.

   

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon :

      I like to think that in any form of entertainment you can take something away from the experience of baring witness to it. Most movies, video games, books, and artwork have a tone or message that they want to get across. Transformers 3 is one of the few cases in which this simply is not true, it's just a waste of time and money. NOTHING in this film worth mentioning, aside from some incredibly fake looking CGI. It's empty, a void that's filled with nothing but the militaristic views of the it's twelve year old minded director, Michael Bay. I have never been a huge fan of the original series, but I still knew the premise, "Giant robots that can change into vehicles and various devices come to earth and kick the crap out of each other." That script writes itself, it shouldn't be hard to turn into a live action movie. But somehow, the cast and crew behind Transformers did it not once, not twice, but THREE times! Let me get into the nitty grit and break down why I hate this piece of ass that passes for cinema.

"This is like dying all over again for the third time."

 

 

1. The Plot is Misguided : For some reason that escapes me, a movie called Transformers about giant alien robots only has them only a a cliff note in their own film. Back again in the role of Sam Witwicky (I don't care enough to see if that's actually how you spell it or not, but if I looked it up, I would be wasting more effort than the writers of this garbage.) is Shia Labeouf, who does a great job telling us how much his life sucks while dating the hottest slut that isn't Megan Fox. Not only that, but apparently, he got a free ride scholarship from the White House. BOO F**Kin HOO! It sure sucks to be you. That's my biggest with this movie, it's all about Sam and finding a job, and NOT able the giant death machines mentioned on the marquee. In all honesty, the Transformers have maybe 12 minutes of the movies screen time that involves them. That's pathetic! That's like making a remake of Back to the Future that revolves around George Mc Fly doing his taxes in 1985 while his son goes to change the past. I could go on but I have more ground to cover.

"Dear god, please find me appealing! 

 

 

 

 

 

2. The Run Time: This bastard child of Jersey Shore and I Robo clocks in at two hours and forty five minutes! 2 hours and 45 minutes!! That's almost as long as LOTR the Two Towers. I saw so many people looking at their watches and cellphones, just waiting for this thing to be over with. I can understand having a long movie, but things have to actually happen in that allotted time frame that keep my interest. Don't just have random battles with characters I know nothing about, actually take the time to set the tone of the film were supposed to be watching. This movie was actually long and boring enough in its first half to make me fall asleep. I have a pretty low expectations when it comes to crappy action movies, but the fact it was so uninteresting enough, to where I would actually fall asleep is a testament of this films terrible pacing. I never sleep through a movie, no matter how bad. I mean for christ sake, I was able to sit through Sense and Sensibility, but I can't sit through a Transformers movie?! Even during the "good parts" with the robot fighting and Optimus Prime, its still boring, because again, the movie focuses on it's human characters and not the Transformers. The final battle scene takes up an hour of the film. YES a full hour. No time to breath, no pacing, just throw some shitty CGI together and people will love it! Bottom line, this needed to be shorter, as in less than two hours.

Fun Fact: Lenard Nimoy plays one of the main villains called Sentinal
