The movies were very much Americanized, and absolutely in the "Hollywood" spirit of doing things, rather than the way many of us imagined it to be in our heads from Jo's very descriptive writing.
I think the whole look and feel would have likely been very different if directed by a European director. I look greatly forward to Cuarón's contribution in Prisoner of Azkaban. Should (hopefully) be a vast improvement over the (imo) overly-sentimental methods of Chris Columbus.
The guys is a fine fellow and certainly good in his own right, but imo (in my opinion) doesn't capture the essence of Jo's magical world the way it should have been.
I mean, it's a bit too "glossy" and "perfect" if you know what I mean. :unsure: [/b][/quote]
Hey i know it was a little childish and all, but really do we have to be racist about it?? "It was too americanized" what does that mean?? I hate racists and people who stereotype. It was childish because it was a CHILD'S movie. I know it could be better, but at least it wasn't all ghetto and all.
