Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2

                                                                      YAY!!! No school!!
               This movie takes place right were we left off from the previous movie. Right when Dobby dies. Like we were in a year long commercial break!!!  So if you have a poor memory, watch the first half again before you come see this one or else you may miss something....  2 minutes in and there engulfed in action. As you know... or should know. Harry, Hermione and Ron are looking for horcruxes. You know, when I put it like that, it sounds very lame. Trust me... it's very cool. This movie had no noticeable hole in the story.   If I think of anything I'll post it. There is one thing that might be wrong or I'm mistaken. It'll be in the spoiler section.




I know that I said that the first movie wasn't very good. This is a TOTALLY different movie, it resolves everything and while that seem obvious, the way the director does so is very rewarding to all the viewers.

There is a lot more action and suspense than part 1. They did cut out some parts from the book but the lack is not noticeable. So yeah... great! But even the greatest things have flaws. I watched Harry Potter in 3D. I was thinking the battle would be even cooler than in 2D. But instead, it wasn't very 3D. No... it was totally blurry. When I had the glassed on, it was blurry. When I took the glasses of... Sometimes it was more clear. What I mean to say is to not pay more for a fuzzy film.  Watch in 2D for best effects.  This brings me on to a pet pieve re 3D.....with the glasses on, dark scenes are too dark....work on it please before it becomes a fad.




                                                               *****SPOILERS*****

                    What I was talking about was when Harry was trying to get in to Bellatrix's vault, how did the guards know that Hermione and Ron where imposters?  I may be wrong here, but check it out for yourself and let me know what you think.

Transformer: Dark of the Moon

                                                   The sharpest possible living creatures.
                   

                            As you know, this is the third movie of  the Transformers franchise. Although I thought that the first few two movies where alright. Unlike this new money milking movie. I admit... in 3D this thing was amazing and they did it right.  Trust me when i tell you that you have not seen a good 3D experience until you've seen the worm like transformer eating the skyscraper. That scene takes like 20 minuets. Sadly, that's how you can tell they were all out of ideas. After about what seemed like ten minutes of building munching i was thinking, "hurry up all ready. I want to get on with my life."

     Anyway, the action ways pretty cool. There are two things I don't understand. First, how the auto bots can slash through the bad guys when the bad guy can't touch the auto bots.  But suspension of disbelief i think assumes that the good guys have better alloys in their products.

                                                              ****SPOILER****
                           When they have to shoot a teleporter, and they have the shot, they don't SHOOOOT. They say that they need a better shot... they spend half the movie looking for a better shot. Finally, Optimus Prime...from the same spot, uses a rocket launcher from his wrist, destroys it, I guess it would have cut the movie by an hour so they drag it on a bit.  Good for the Special Effects team at Lucas, they got a big payday, nice!
