At least Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince was nominated for an Oscar for visual effects. New Moon didn't get crap!
Oh lol, they'll never get Oscars, trust me... Unless they have "Making girls go into Necrophilla" award
That, I may have to agree with. However, there was a "based off of" award and none of them were nominated. Still, Harry Potter > Twilight (books, movies, and franchise)
Never saw Precious (or New Moon for that matter), hell, I'm not sure what Precious is. I don't really see how comparing New Moon's effects to Harry Potter's is even fair. Half-Blood Prince had who knows how many magical spells, creatures, items, landscapes, etc. New Moon had vampires (who already look human) and oversized wolves. It's like comparing a small town to a large city and see who has sportiest cars. That said...even though New Moon didn't have much need for visual effects...their effects still sucked. And that's just from what I saw in commercials. EDIT: The same goes for the franchise. It's not even a fair comparison. Might as well see who the better baseball player is, someone in the MLB or someone from my little league.
That is true; comparing the two of the movies doesn't seem fair. Harry Potter is filled with action packed effects while New Moon's effects make it look (what's the word i'm looking for)... pretty. I saw both films--both of which have some kind of good quality to it that the other doesn't. As for Precious, I kinda want to read the book (Push by Saphire) and then see the movie. It seems interesting.
I haven't seen New Moon, but I'm going to agree with this [WARNING: excessively vulgar language to follow. If you are of weak constitution, please refrain from clicking the spoiler tag below.] Spoiler I have already accepted that Harry is going to be made to look like a whiny, angsty bitch, because without the extra fluff of the book that doesn't translate well to a movie you really don't understand his thought process that well, and you don't see all the little things that build him up to his outbursts, so I had consigned to just sit back and enjoy the spectacular fight scenes. BUT THEY FUCKING TOOK THAT OUT TOO. WHERE WAS MY FUCKING LYCANTHROPE DEATH EATER. HE HAD TWO GOD DAMN WANDS NO ONE HAD EVER USED TWO GOD DAMNED MOTHER FUCKING WANDS BEFORE. AND HE WAS TOSSING DEATH CURSES DOWN THE HALLS LIKE THEY'RE GOING OUTTA STYLE WHY THE COCK WOULD YOU TAKE THAT OUT. THE KIDS WERE BARELY MISSING THEM BECAUSE THEY DOWNED THE REST OF THE LUCK POTION BUT THEY TOTALLY PISSING FORGOT ABOUT THAT. NO ONE CARES ABOUT BELLABITCH TRASHING THE FUCKING DINING HALL WE WANT TO SEE THE GOD DAMN DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY SKILLZ. I WAS ABOUT TO SHOUT AT THE CUNTING SCREEN "THIS IS A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS." HOW THE ASS DO YOU GET IT IN YOUR GOAT-FUCKING HEAD THAT YOU SHOULD SKIP THE MOTHER-SHITTING CLIMAX OF A MOVIE!? WHO'S THE GOD DAMN SHITFACED CRACKER-JACKS-UP-YER-ASS-******ED NEANDERTHAL WHO DECIDED THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA!? I WANT HIS HEAD ON A FUCKSHITDAMNDICKING PIKE. I'm not going to see the seventh movie. Even if they split it into twenty movies. *breathe* *breathe* Okay I'm cool [/the only time you'll ever hear me rant about an adaptation]
I agree with this. Spoiler Hell, the way they went about it, it didn't even make sense. If Hogwarts was supposed to have so much extra security, why have the death eaters parade through the place with absolutely no one stopping them except a pissed-off teen? That, the burrow being destroyed, and the completely unsubtle way they went about Olivander's kidnapping were the main things I had trouble with in watching this movie. /opinion
