Little from Collumn A, little from Collumn B. You've got the basics there, but with a couple of mistakes. Did you see The thick of it, where Malcom Tucker describes Star Wars? This is a similar thing .
Noooo nowhere near that bad, my main problem is Daniel Radcliffe just... Can't act. AT ALL.You make it sounds like it's the worst fantasy film franchise since the Star Wars prequels. Should I be afraid?
The story is obviously superb, but as they're trying to fit some pretty big books into a single film a peice, a lot of stuff is cut out. I mean even the final book which is one of the shorter books and is split into two, has some stuff left out. If you go in not knowing what's missing you'll probably enjoy them a fair bit, but then when read the books you'll see how much better they are, then going back to watch the films they'll just seem... Flat.
Being objective:
Philosopher's Stone is okay, great film to kick back with on a rainy sunday afternoon.
Chamber of Secrets is bad, but to be fair it's also my least favourite of the books, I just don't enjoy the storyline.
Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire are solid, the story starts to get a bit darker, a bit more interesting plus bonus Gary Oldman.
Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood Prince are pretty fucking weak, this is where the books got stupidly long, but the films stayed the same size, so LOTS is cut out.
Deathly Hallows I is passable, some good scenes, some terrible ones and tbh it's the first half of the book so it's A LOT of setting up, with not a huge amount of payoff.
Deathly Hallows II is actually pretty damn good... Except one horrifically cringe inducing line.
