Thoughts of a 'Man'

POA better? no, not principle of accounts but Prisoner Of Azkaban... (taken over by new director) Watched the sneak yesterday, but missed out the intro part all the way till where aunt marge was bloated up... (never knew sneak previews had no commercials)

has its improvements, but worst in other areas...

Improvements:

1) Draco Malfoy looks cooler...

2) Hermione sexier...lol..(more developed?)

3) Scene of whomping willow to signal change of time/day/season/part of year...etc (don't hate it so much now)

4) Nicer costumes, surroundings, effects

What Sucks:

1) Dumbledore looks dumb (doesn't look superior and powerful anymore...too young maybe)

2) No emphasis on harry,ron, hermione's friendship

3) Story too rush (not enough time maybe)

4) Hermione didn't whine in the book (the part where she did the wolf call to lure werewolf away, that didn't happen in the book, did it?)

5) Sirius was total stranger to harry at first, didn't show how black got harry's trust (the shrieking shack part was so surface that it seems wierd after that, when sirius asked harry if he wanted to stay with him, seemed as if harry trusted them so easily when they explained about who-killed-who)

6) the hospital ward(forgot what its called) is upstairs, while it was downstairs the last time (not sure if i remembered this correctly)

the movie is not in depth, it rushes the plot, and becomes quite boring (maybe i got too used to the previous 2 movies), while the previous 2 was descriptive in the magical world that existed... this one is not...what i mean is, the previous 2 had more of the "discovery" feeling of the wizard world, while this is just the story itself... and the changes in storyline was so obvious, the other 2 had changes too but didn't change the whole outlook. MAYBE they shldn't have changed the director(this guy does RA films..woohoo)

there are just too much differences, that i'm not sure if i have listed them all...POA is maybe the best book in the series, but the movie is quite boring...( POA book has the best intro according to me, funny as it explained witch burning and the ron-phone incident, and many surprises in the book compared to the rest, which also has surprises, but not as unexpected as POA)

anyway, for those who are wondering why if i'm even typing this, and explaing all this crap, is because there is nothing much i can do with the present state of my computer so downtrodden...sigh...I CAN"T GET IN MSN MESSENGER for more then 10 mins...

sigh, can't believe the OC is not showing today, because of repeat telecast of american idol..its been 2 weeks...
