"Harry Potter 6" Breaking "The Dark Knight" Records

NOOOOOO

GODDAMN IT!

I can't believe this...

Well said Borat, well said.

Not going off the book, just what I saw in the movie, what I dont get is Malfoy spends the entire movie working non-stop on that cabinet so he can let in the death eaters into hogwarts and then when they get in all they do is break a few windows and run off? What the hell? they didnt even help kill the old man it was pointless, and the worst line in the movie that felt like it came out of nowhere was at the end, "Yes Harry I am the Half-blood prince" before running off, terrible

This movie will come nowhere near TDK's overall gross. It was just rabid fans who got screwed over by having it pushed back 8 months. How many kids, the target demographic, are going to be able to see this more then once? I don't see many 20 and 30 year olds seeing it multiple times...

Well, we'll see...

I saw TDK 4 times....and once in IMAX....I don't see this continuing at this pace...and I have no plans to see it

Well its way better than transformers by far....

And, what isn't?

And some of you guys act like you own major stock in WB.

i just have one question to ask before i decide to see it or not....was it better than 'order of the phoenix'?...that's all i wanna know...if it's better than order than the phoenix then i'd spend my money on it...cuz i waited for the 5th one to come to dvd because even my friend said it wasn't as riveting as the other books

It was the best in the series. I've read the book like 4 times and I liked the movie a lot. After the past 2 movies you can't go in and expect it to follow the book word for word. They've got 2 hours and 30 minutes to squeeze in as much as they can from a detailed, 650 page novel so people saying it didn't follow the book are expecting too much. Sure some of the stuff was kind of lame (Ginny tying Harry's shoe), but overall it was great and captured book very well.
Plus Alan Rickman, Jim Broadbent, Michael Gambon, and even (surprisingly) Daniel Radcliffe were very good in this one. I would go as far as to say that Rickman, Broadbent, or Gambon could recieve a best supporting actor nod.
Definitely deserves an Oscar nod for cinematography if nothing else.

imagine a michael bay directed harry potter.

@mink exactly i mean honestly who gives a fuck how much money this or any other movie makes. If you have stock then yeah I would give a damn. But I dont, thank god, I have phillip morris and GE, and phillip morris will be around for a long time. but anyways, what does it benefit others regarding how much this or anyother movie made. Is it just proof so one can say the movie i like is better than yours or something.

Ugh, another disappointing potter installment. Why cant they go back to the good days when Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secretes were released and they were so well done and undeniably close to the book?

Michael Bay directed Harry Potter is not an accurate statement in the slightest.

And the sorcerer's stone and the chamber of secrets were much more simple to follow, they were shorter, the characters were not as complex or developed. They were hardly even developing at that point. One of the great things about the Harry Potter book series is how the characters and the tone grew up with each book, it started as children literature and became pure literature. If HP 6 was 250 pages then yeah the movie would've been more faithful. But it's 650 and has more substance than HP 1 or 2.

The studio's put pressure on directors to keep movie goers entertained, not just novel fans, the attack on the Burrow help convey how sinister Fenir Greyback is and reminded them of the evil of Bellatrix Lestrange, which are both important to the story.

what a fuckin gay movie. i wodner how many theatres the dark knight opened in compared to harry potter. this crap will fizzle out

THERE IS NO GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
this proves it. these ppl should be hanged 4 wat they have done to the last 3 HP mivies

Haven't watched it yet but by judging from how bad the last film was and that the same director is making HBP i just knew it was going to be horrible and i'v been all over the internet trashing yates and the wb but a few people thought i was right the rest were just saying "it's the new writer's fault, not his"....Or "We should all wait until HBP comes out to judge yates"...And now what happenned?....They ruined it beyond my imagination from what i heard...And now he's also going to ruin the last films but peopl are soo idiotic cause now even the fans that hated HBP are saying "hopefully the last ones will not suck"....but news flash!...it's the same lame director!....It's guarented to turn out crappy!...I just hope that somehow death eaters kidnapp yates and they bring back someone like Alfonso or Del Toro!...but i still havent watched it yet so maybe contradicting myself...wh knows but if it is bad then my review will be WAY longer than this!......

"and phillip morris will be around for a long time."

Was that sarcasm, Lostwarrior? Dunno if you've noticed that Obama and others are working very hard to totally eliminate smoking. Already you can't smoke in public places in many cities.

Now, I don't smoke, never have, but if a person can get comatose wasted, have sex in any way imaginable with any person, place or object, vote for Ralph Nader, and engage in other 'extreme' activities, then by god you should be able to smoke a naturally occurring plant. Hell, I wouldn't give a shit if they legalized weed. Not like the law stops anyone anyway.

Otherwise, I agree.

imagine David lynch directing harry potter :-)

hah no God?...i highly disagree, but anyway...i still haven't got an answer for my question...is the movie better than the 5th movie??...i didn't like the 5th cuz it has hardly any interesting action...but does this one beat the 5th one on that??...please somebody tell me so i can decide

@ lostwarrior....just read your post on the paris hilton one...heh..i've smoked so many different buds i hardly keep track of the names anymore...all i care about is if it smells good and gets you high enough...that's all that matters to me as far as weed goes

Bravo Potter.

tough to compare it against Order. The movies have two different tones. In Order, there was a building up towards the showdown at the end. For someone who didn't read the book, you don't know what is coming in this movie until the reveal of the Death Eaters at Hogwarts and by that time, you have 20 minutes left in the film. This movie is all about the setup of finding out how to kill Voldemort and the set up for the final climactic 2 movies. They did omit a few things that I would have like to have seen but overall they did a great job. Don't listen to critics or haters, and cough up the 6 bucks at 10am on a day off and see it.

And whoever said people won't see this multiple times is WAAAAY off base.

@ bonedaddy....well thanks...now i can see it...the thing i hated about the 5th is that it was too slow upon the training and stuff...i think this would be a bit better than that but i was expecting some similarities anyway...and besides...pg-13 to a pg rating?...i wouldn't say that's bad at all

Order of the Phoenix was easily the worst of the adaptations, and I can safely say that this is one of the best, aside for a few minor flaws...
