I'm getting pretty tired of reading all of this bickering against Cuarón. He put his signature on the movie. Yes, he missed stuff from the books, however, he didn't miss fundamental stuff.
If you just didn't like the movie because it didn't go word for word or in the exact order of the book, then you shouldn't have seen the movie in the first place. A movie is the interpretation of the director, producer and writer.
Perhaps it was a little rushed in, but that was due to time restrictions. Of course, there was some scenes that were waaay to extended. For example Buckbeak's long flight. You have to understand Cuaróns signature, it is the photography and the nature what matters to him. The photography for Cuarón is the way of showing a lot of things in the movies that you cannot exactly put into actors' lines.
Please stop the bickering, it is awful to read all these criticism when JKR approved the film. I believe she even said it was the movie she liked the most. |
