The first movie I ever saw by myself!!
That's right! I went to see it by myself! I couldn't wait for a week or two when hubs would finally agree to go see it with me, or for my mom to finish watching 4, 5, and 6 to be ready to see 7. I had to go NOW!
I went Friday morning while all the kiddies were in school, so it was just me and a bunch of middle-aged house wives--and that one young mother who brought her crying infant with her in the back of the room. Hello... time to suck it up and get a babysitter! Don't subject all of us who paid $12 to hear the score in HD to your screaming tot.
I really enjoyed the movie... every bit of it! It's always interesting to me to see what choices they will make converting the book (which is extremely detailed) into a visual. People get cut out, the storyline gets tightened.... on the whole, I think they did very well, and I can't think of anything I was disappointed by. It was intense, emotional, humorous right when we needed it to be... I'm SO ready for part two, but I know I'll be devastated when it's all over.
I buy a lot of movie scores to listen to while I write, and I sampled this one by Alexandre Desplat (who also did New Moon--very well too, I might add), but didn't think too much about it. After I saw the movie though, I think I might ask for that one for Christmas.
Have you seen it yet? What did you think?
I haven't seen it yet, but I can't wait. I actually love going to movies by myself (once you get past that awkward "NO, these seats are not saved.")
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it yet, but good on you for going to the movies by yourself! It was hard for me to go on my own the first time - I felt strange - but I loved it. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the previous one yet. Somehow Potter has never grabbed me.
ReplyDeleteYou know how much I adored it! Always a fan and I loved every moment of it!
ReplyDeleteHooray for going by yourself! You should be so proud! I know I am!
Yes. I want to go see it again. At the end, I said, "This will be a really long intermission." What a dramatic ending! Cool, that you went to it by yourself.
ReplyDeleteI saw it this past weekend with the wife and son. Having not read anything but the first book, I didn't have any expectations going in. Overall, I enjoyed it. Some of the action was too herky-jerky for my taste, but everything else was top-notch. The whole Ron getting jealous and being a jerk has been done already, so I didn't care for that part. Looking forward to part 2!!
