Harry Potter- round 6-who's ready?

Nephythys · 07-07-2009, 05:38 AM

This is the next one on our list of must see in the theatre movies for 2009.

Anyone else psyched up and waiting for this one?

Rotten Tomatoes has it at 100% only 5 reviews in so far.

(heh- my big movie anticipation of the year- Transformers- is at 19%)

Moonliner · 07-07-2009, 07:02 AM

Oh, is that coming out?

I think that ship has sailed as far as my kids go. We are into Agnst ridden Vampires and things that go fast or explode (preferably both at the same time).

Nephythys · 07-07-2009, 07:09 AM

June 15th I think- yes

My kids and I are all anxious to see it-have to see the story through. WANT to see it come to life on the screen-so yeah, I'm excited for it.

Looks like I have more reason to be excited than the last time around with Transformers

innerSpaceman · 07-07-2009, 07:14 AM

I'm very excited about it. But I'm also scared.

I'm really psyched it's playing at the Chinese. I'm going to a midnight opening show. Um, it's two-and-a-half-hours long. We'll get out of the theater 'bout a quarter to three, talk about the movie for half an hour, and I'll get home around 4 in the morning. Um, I won't be going to sleep at all, and will have a most hellacious day at work.

So I can't quite figure out if I'm looking forward to the movie ... or dreading it.

Strangler Lewis · 07-07-2009, 07:30 AM

Looking forward on all fronts here.

So far Lani hasn't said peep one about this so hopefully I'll not be going (she was pretty disappointed with the last one but I don't know if the pain has faded).

Though the marketing does momentarily pique my interest every time I see one of the trailers. Dumbledore looks so much like Gandalf in the first shot of one of the trailers that I keep thinking some version of "they made another LOTR movie?" Then I see Harry and go back to disinterest.

Snowflake · 07-07-2009, 08:10 AM

I will see it, absolutely. I do confess, I'm finding my interest fading but I think that has more to do with the fact that there are no new books to keep my interest going. I need to reread the book(s). Besides, Half Blood Prince has more Snape (Alan Rickman) and we like that.

Betty · 07-07-2009, 08:14 AM

I'm looking forward to seeing it for sure... I don't go to the movies very often but need to see it on the big screen I think.

Jazzman · 07-07-2009, 08:32 AM

After the horror of the complete butchering of Order of the Phoenix, I have gone from making Harry Potter midnight showings a "must do" to now probably waiting for Netflix to see this one. I so terribly want to be excited, but I just can't push myself there. Knowing that I'll have to deal with the one-two punch of seeing a wonderful story chopped up, reworked, pared down and shat out, and then the salt in the wound of Michael "Danny Devito Would Be A Better Dumbledore" Gambon crapping all over the screen, I'm just averse to the entire idea of subjecting myself to this. I hope you guys enjoy it though, so there is some good from it. I just have no faith...

I quit after Goblet of Fire. Mostly because of Dumbledore's abusive screaming fit, partially because I was sick of seeing Hermione look so sexy and fashionable and Ron being such a f'n wuss. Just wrong.

Plus, the rest of the books are all full of pain instead of fun wizardry, so no thanks.
