We just came back from watching the show at Little Theatre. Hao-e was droning on and on about wanting to catch the movie asap. He woke up from his nap at 2.10pm and made us rush down for the 2.30pm show. I very nearly killed him for it! (You know how i value planning etc.)
Anyway, the show was entertaining, though without subtitles, and the sound system being not so top-notch, i found it a little difficult to catch about 10% of the conversations. Didn't ruin the show for me. But Hao-e found it least entertaining of all the HP movies. Yeah well, there is no happiness unlike the Philosopher's Stone, no thrill unlike the Chamber of Secrets, no kinship unlike the Prisoner of Azkaban and no suspense unlike the Goblet of Fire. All it has is darkness, death and a general feeling of dread, as if everyone's just preparing for the inevitable. I suppose, for people who haven't actually read the book, the movie being only 2 hours long is tad short when the entire book is like 2-3 inches thick minus of the covers. So despite the climax only lasting like 10 mins i raise my hats to the actors (who have improved by leaps and bounds) and the entire crew for sticking to the story so closely. i think it's a great story and the movie is pretty darn good too.
