I think sometimes hype can really kill something. It makes me not want to take it seriously.
I think anything that an 8 year old can read and relate to may be a bit too bland for me to handle.
(I don't have a very good attention span anyway)
I agree. It's how wonderfully richly drawn her universe is that I love.Originally Posted by katiemae1277
JK Rowling is a FANTASTIC writer, the HP books are not just kids books, they are very richly detailed and there are so many themes and undercurrents in the books that are not even touched in the films. IMO the films should be watched as a movie, not as a movie based on a book
Uh huh! And Orlando Bloom doesn't hurt the eyes either.Originally Posted by valanhb
Pirates in general, no. Johnny Depp as a pirate? Oh heck yeah!
Yeah, I usually get turned off by hype. I wanted to read the first book as so many people had recommended them, then I got hooked.Originally Posted by DaniMarie

I'm almost 100% with ya! I did see the first movie, but it wasnt by choice! My friend said we were going to see something else, yet somehow ended up sitting through 3 hours of Harry Potter. I think I fell asleep at one point!Originally Posted by AbbysMom

That`s what I think too. The more I see a film advertised and talked about, the less I want to see it.Don`t know why really.Originally Posted by DaniMarie
