#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 The CGI didn't look very good.Stefancos- who thinks it's to short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,159 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Yes, Potter CGI isn't exactly state of the art. And it is indeed to short. We get a few shots of Dobby (not exciting when we already know the teaser poster, except that we now get to see his cool nose from the side) and the flying car. Nothing impressive for those who know the story.Marian - who hopes the full-length teaser will be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocelot 508 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 You guys!!!!!The effects should be 10 times better than the first instalment where the Centaur and Fluffy looked like they should have been in Clash of the Titans!!!Dobby looks great and the flying car bit was fine too.... It's not Star Wars, it's still got to look like England and all....So far I'm excited!me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker 5 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Keep in mind these may not be the finalized effects. The movie still has several months to go before release, so they may still be in a somewhat rough form.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishCal24 0 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Well, Ren it's not as if the first film followed the novel detail for detail either. What's wrong with adding a little excitement to those scenes? That sequence could have been rather boring had they followed the book too closely. Some things just don't transfer well visually when it's done exactly as written. I argee with ocelot about Dobby and the car. The effects are much better, even at such an early stage, this time out. The compositing is far superior. I'm glad they gave ILM the lead job, rather than the Sony Pictures Imageworks (along with six other FX houses) again.

Ren 75 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 well i do have to agree that it was exciting. . .sometimes though i think they add stuff just to please rather than effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishCal24 0 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Well, at least with these films, Rowling as some say in any changes made. The director, producers, and screenwriter actually ask for her input. Most authors just have to settle for watching their work being butchered once the rights are sold. Take Tom Clancy for instance. He was not happy when Patriot Games was turned into a sequel to The Hunt For Red October, but the novel takes place before THFRO. And now, they've turned Sum of All Fears into a prequel.

ocelot 508 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 There's absolutely nothing wrong with adding excitement... What is wrong is changing the plot, the dialogue, the story, that would be wrong. Film is a completely different medium to books, so much has to be condensed yet they have to strive to be faithful but also capture the magic and excitement. It's hard...OcelotAnd yes, the images are 10 times better already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren 75 Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 well i'm glad that they enhanced the book. . .but i still ask the question :did they do if for book enhancement or for pure audience enjoyment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 I saw it on television last night, and I must say it was better on tv than on my little computer. Dobby looked alot better on the bigger screen.Any changes Columbus makes is ok with me if it improves the story.And Ren your question about changes for book enhancement or pure audience enjoyment, you know the answer to that. Nothing Columbus changes will be changed in the book, so no book enhancement. Changes will be made to make it more cinematic, and for audience enjoyment.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 If that miniseries King produced a few years back IS faithfull to the novel then i can understand why Kubrick chanced it.Stefancos- who could not sleep after seeing the film, but dosed of during the series.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 Go ahead an like what you want Stefan, but the King version is the better version to me. Like Stevie, I find the Kubrick version lacking in all the made King's story great, and a bestseller.Joe, who thinks the best King films are Carrie(#1), Green Mile, Misery, Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me, Dead Zone, Christine, and Cujo.I think the best tv productions have been It, the Stand, and Storm of the Century, and the Shining.

Harry Potter 0 Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Are you talking about Denise being a bad character in Bond? If so, I'd agree to that. Sorry, Indy, but she didn't do too well in the acting department if you ask me.~Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Why hasn't anyone attacked Barbara Bach? She played Anya Amasova in The Spy Who Loved Me. We're supposed to believe that this hot 19 year old is a spy as good as Bond? That's no more outrageous than believing Denise Richards is a nuclear physicist, and Ms. Bach was just as wooden as Ms. Richards, I just think Denise Richards is a lot better looking.Now, getting back on topic.......I just watched the full trailer in the theater.
