Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)

I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and was very pleased with how well it stuck to the book. Because of this, I had high expectations for Part 2. I mean, if you did so well in the first half, you have to do just as well in the second half, right? Right? Wrong.

The movie started off very well, starting from exactly where it left off in Part 1 and staying faithful to the book all the way to when Harry and co break into Hogwarts. That’s where it starts to go down hill.

*Spoilers!*

The good:

- Neville. He was perfectly perfect. I really wish they gave him more screen time because he was adorable.

- The Gringott’s scene. Very well done.

- The emotion we are shown from Snape. Throughout the series, he’s been rather monotonous and emotionless. In the pensieve, we see a different side of him and it is a refreshing change.

- The battle at Hogwarts. It was intense and wonderfully done.

- Helena Ravenclaw. It was very emotional and creepy. Although they did not tell us her back story with the Bloody Baron.

- Rupert Grint and Dan Radcliffe shirtless. That’s certainly a plus.

OK you know it’s bad when I resort to writing about that.

The bad:

- They completely took out the scene where Harry and Luna go into the Ravenclaw Common Room, where they are ambushed by one of the Carrows. It appeared as if they would show it, as I hope they would (I’ve always wanted to see the other common rooms), but then they don’t. Hm.

- Fred’s death scene. Gone. Yup. They show his body once at the end and don’t even give you time to grieve before moving on to the next scene. This was an insult to his character’s memory.

- Crabbe’s disappeared. Gets replaced by Zabini, and replaced in a different way by Goyle.

- Snape’s memories are rushed and they take out some of the most interesting memories. They just go through a few of them quickly. I’ve always enjoyed the memories, because you get to see life at Hogwarts through the eyes of someone else for a change, in a different time era.

- Hermione and Ron battle Nagini, and eventually Neville slays the snake. Eventually. It takes some time getting to that scene.

- There is not a single mention of Teddy Lupin. That is, until the end when Harry suddenly knows about Lupin’s son. Weird, considering Harry was camping in a forest and hadn’t heard of any of this.

- Collin Creevey is replaced by that random Nigel kid.

- The students are not sent home. No, the teachers think it’s OK to just lock the Slytherins in the dungeons and let everybody else stay and fight.

- Still no mention of the significance of the horcruxes. Hufflepuff’s cup is just a plain old cup that Voldy turned into a horcrux.

- Not enough interaction with characters other than the trio. Too much Harry. It’s as if everybody else just have cameos.

- Random scene where they blow up one of the bridges (ignoring the fact that there are like 2 other bridges that would take them into the school).

- Voldemort’s and Bellatrix’s death = explosion into confetti!

- Percy’s on the good side all of a sudden. No explanation at all (a reoccurring theme with Yates, don’t you think?).

- Harry does not fix his old wand with the Elder Wand. No, instead he takes the Elder Wand and SNAPS IT IN HALF. Is that even possible? I didn’t think so. So Harry breaks the wand and then chucks it into the abyss. Really Yates, really?

- All of the fun and cheerful dialogue from the future scene has been resorted to everybody staring and smiling at each other. No explanation once again. They don’t even say who’s who! Plus there is absolutely no chemistry between Dan and Albus Severus. And it was really awkward to see them all with old make up on.

- Goodbye Dumbledore’s back story!

- Too many attempts at one-liners and humorless jokes.

*End of Spoilers*

All in all, all of the personality and charm of the series was zapped away in an attempts to make this final movie is action-packed as possible. It’s a shame to see something that you’ve grown up with, learned to love, taken and twisted into somebody’s ‘vision.’ I mean, why bother adding your own unimportant scenes to the movie, when there are perfectly good ones in the book that you did not bother using at all? There’s no…bonding with the characters, no connection with them you felt in Part 1. I did not feel the love for this movie like I had with the book. There was just so much significance that was left out of that movie, and it is such a shame. It had such potential to be a fantastic movie, and it fell short all because of the changes that were unnecessarily made.

See the movie, and I’m sure you’ll form your own opinion of it. It’s not a bad movie, just disappointing and unsatisfying for a die-hard fan who’s been following the books for 10 years of their life.

Zookeeper (2011)

After reading some of the reviews for this movie, it is absolutely clear that most of the previous reviewers didn’t get the point of the movie. It is a FAMILY movie.

You don’t go to movies to see what you can pick apart, and then write a review that is already predisposed negatively against it. That’s just stupid. Anyone who goes into a movie with the attitude they are going to hate the movie no matter, and writes an extremely negative review is an idiot. The reason to go to movies is to be entertained.

Zookeeper was a movie that entertained. The performances by all the cast members were very well done. There were a lot of laughs, and there was a lot of fun. My son, who by the way is 7, was in the perfect demographic for this movie. It had interesting characters, and situations.

For an adult, a movie with talking animals might not be your cup of tea, but for a small child, it is awesome. Yes, a child thinks it’s funny when someone smashes into something or someone. Yes, for an adult, the movie might seem predictable, but truthfully, what movie isn’t somewhat predictable? A young child (for whom the movie was made for) isn’t going to be scrutinizing every tiny, single thing in a movie, just to say, ” A-HA! SEE, I KNEW IT!”. A child goes to the movies to be lost in imagination. My son laughed when there was a funny part. Whether it was funny because of the animals, or the humans, I heard a lot of laughter. And yes, I laughed a lot too, and so did my wife.

I believe that anyone who goes into this movie with the understanding that this is a movie targeted towards families with young children, that they will be entertained. This movie hits the mark for the appropriate audience members it was made for.

The Devil Inside Review

The movie is only about an hour and 15 minutes. Nothing after the credits and the credits are the slowest scrolling credits I’ve ever seen in my life. My assumption is that it scrolled so slowly because there weren’t a lot of people who worked on the film (since the cast was small and budget was low) and they didn’t want the run time to be so short as to devalue the movie and discourage people from paying to see it; thinking they wouldn’t get much bang for the buck. I guess they had to do something to extend it and this is what they chose.

It’s filmed in a found footage/documentary style that works for the movie. It doesn’t use too many cheap or jump scares. The only bad acting belonged to the chick who played Isabella Rossi. The most important character in the entire movie is actually the person filming everything named Michael and he gets the least amount of face time and dialogue. None of the footage would even exist if he wasn’t filming. Therefore, without him, no movie. He does express that during an MTV’s Real World type confessional. There actually is a story here. It’s not just a bunch of things happening on screen with no rhyme or reason. The story itself is very good. I like it. It’s not necessarily original but the way the movie ends, if there is a sequel, it would have to be filmed in a more traditional movie-making style. That means no found footage. I just gave something away if you’re paying attention.

There are intentional holes left in the movie that can only be answered with a sequel. Like Maria Rossi’s possession. Why was she chosen to be possessed, why did the demon who possessed her make her do what she did, and which demon possessed her? I think exorcism as a whole could be explored more since part of the theme of this movie is the law surrounding the act of exorcism and how it needs to change. Another theme is distinguishing between mental illness and possession; a separation of science and religion. I liked what they were doing here by exploring other aspects of an overused genre but all the questions weren’t answered. That’s not a bad thing. A different twist is similar to what was done in the movie Fallen and that concept was explained during the movie.

If you’re gonna see this, and I’d give this a thumbs up to see it, then go when there’s gonna be less people in the auditorium or see it at a reputable theater and that’s what I recommend for every movie anyway. This movie ain’t worth full price. Catch a matinée or half price or something. Dollar movie works too. It’s worth seeing in theaters.

This movie didn’t back down on violence. Just when I thought they weren’t gonna show certain things, they showed it and I appreciated that. No watering down here although I believe some brief nudity in one scene would have added to the realism. This also reminds me of REC but this isn’t anywhere near as good as that. REC, when watched under the right conditions, will stay with you for a while. It burns an image into your head that doesn’t go away and that’s what a good horror movie is supposed to do: make you look over your shoulder and around corners and through shower curtains and keeps you awake at night. REC does just that and gives a compelling story. This also has a good story that I’d really like to see continued if it makes enough money because, similar to REC, it appears there’s something bigger going on and this first installment only scratches the surface. It teases more and I believe it can deliver with a second movie.

The way the movie ends, there was a collective sigh of disappointment. It leaves you wanting more and since that’s what made people disappointed, I’d say it did its job. It also makes you wonder because there is something that happens in that last scene and you don’t know who the survivor is. That’s all I’ll say about that. The last scene was unique and a bit funny given the circumstances, I’ll give it that much. It was original. If that last survivor is who it should be, then we have a sequel if they ever make it and I’d love to see it at an equal or better level of quality. No complaints about the special effects which weren’t that many to begin with. I give this 7 out of 10 stars. Not a bad movie. Worth seeing. Not too scary but I’m sure some people will be affected by certain scenes because it doesn’t use too many tricks to get the job done. It has a very creepy scene that affects you as if you were watching the movie Session 9. It’s short but effective and that describes the entire movie. Just make sure to watch this with the right people in the right environment.
