Harry Potter and the g of h

I knew this film was going to be shit. To recap, the scores for the first three Harry Potters are as follows:

Harry Potter and the a of b: shit
Harry Potter and the c of d: shit
Harry Potter and the e of f: good

Evidently, the Harry Potter studio execs thought something was a bit amiss with Harry Potter and the e of f, so they hired Mike Newell to revert to the hilarious formula of the first two pictures. Harry Potter and the g of h feels like it constantly has to shove amazing CGI images up your cortex, so it never gets round to telling the story. And then, after a while, you get tired of the CGI. It's like watching Super Mario Karts without being allowed to play it.

On the other hand, it employs every single British thespian ever, which is nice for them, but J K Rowling's got more money than God, so I suppose she can afford it.

Not only did they not tell the story, they cut out chunks of plot all over the show. E.g. the bit where they're all at the ball having a lovely time, and then next thing you know, it's the end of the night and Herm-eyebrows is screaming at ginger Ron for ruining the evening. Seriously, I had to rewind that bit just to check I hadn't accidentally been disco-napping (which actually would have been a better way to spend an hour and a half).

Hi there Lala. I hope you are doing OK in Teletubby land. I just think that the book is too chubby because the film is like 2 hours 40 long and it still doesn't get everything in. I think they should leave out all the rubbish bits (or chuck them on the second disc of the special edition) and leave a slender 15 minute short filled with swearing and kung fu. I believe that would be more acceptable. It would be better if they used lego men instead of actors too.
