Demodex 557 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 It's not a plothole. The movie still works without that info. Sure, it would have been nice to include it (and I still don't see why they didn't), but that was a nice surprise when I read the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 it leaves a gapping hole in the plot, how does Lupin know anything about the map, how does he know its a map at all. what is the relationship between Lupin, Black, and Pettigrew, all that is left unanswered.sure those that read the book knew, but those who didn't were saying, what the hell?You are wrong...wrong...wrong.I haven't read the book, and asked none of these questions.These are things that only Harry potter fanboys get pissed off about.During the Shrieking Shack scene the film, which had had a steady, delibirate pace suddenly went to warp speed, but I don't feel I needed a 10 minute flashback explaining the relationship between these 3 guys and Harry's father and how they all decided to turn into animals to help Gary Oldman. I got all the info I needed from the performances throughout the film, which was first rate, didn't need to have it explained and S-P-E-L-L-E-D out to me like Chris Columbus did for COS.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I think you mostly missed it only if you read the book.And I recall reading they were saving that info for one of the later films. Perhaps we'll see it in OotP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 What...a...crappy...teaser trailer that was.Horrible, awkward, and pointless.It started with a pointless bang and ended with a pointless bang. There was no contrast, no tension, it was just a badly stitched montage of shots and dialouge from the movie.I've seen miles better 30-second TV Spots.

Demodex 557 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I don't understand how much enjoyment you can get from a film score when you don't like the movie itself.It's the music that matters, when listening to a CD. Over half the scores in my collection are to films I've never seen, and probably will never see.Should I dislike a masterpiece like the score to The Final Conflict just because the film is so awful?On top of that, there are plenty of brilliant scores to poor films - Supergirl, Star Trek Insurrection, Beneath the 12-Mile Reef, King Kong (1976), and many more (including three quarters of Goldsmith's filmography).Turning the question around, why should the quality of the film make any difference to whether you like the score?It's the movie that gives the music any meaning. If I listened to a soundtrack of a movie I've never seen, the music would mean nothing to me and eventually no matter how good it was I'd get very bored with it. Also, if I hated a movie, why would I listen to a soundtrack that reminded me of that movie? The basic difference between you and me is apparently I think the soundtrack CD should be considered supplemental to the movie, and you feel more like it's as important as the movie itself.Also, why would Williams not scoring a Potter film have anything to do with the overall quality of the movie? It doesn't, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 You obviously listen to film scores to re-live the film.Most of us listen to film scores as music and can seperate it from the film. I'd have a very small collection if I couldn't handle the music away from the films and based my liking it on whether or not I enjoyed the film.A composer can make a big difference as to how good a film is.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 It's the movie that gives the music any meaning.

The basic difference between you and me is apparently I think the soundtrack CD should be considered supplemental to the movie, and you feel more like it's as important as the movie itself. That's an unfortunate attitude. You're missing out on lots of great music, just because you've never seen the film. Viewing the score as supplemental to the film shouldn't prevent you from being able to enjoy music on its own. There are many scores I listen to and thoroughly enjoy, from films I haven't seen. Just seems like you're limiting yourself.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demodex 557 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 So be it. It would cost a fortune to buy every soundtrack I think might be interesting. At least my way I know I'm going to enjoy the scores. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 How is it even close to "entirely messed up"? There's nothing wrong with it at all.I have once posted a list of a whole bunch of things that are just plain crazy. In general I think they have put a lot of unimportant things into the film and took a lot of important ones. I just had way too many "what the HECK" moments during PoA to consider it the best film. As far as I'm concerned it's John Williams' score that saved the film, which is the single reason why I still consider it a reasonably good film.

I loved Columbus's work it really had that magical feel to it. Don't get me wrong Cuaron did a great job with POA, but that movie had a more "I'm trying to win a few oscars" feel while Columbus's gave off this "Harry Potter-ish" feel. GoF wasn't that bad, I enjoyed it. Yes, it could have been made better and the score, well.... :roll: but we got to give this new fella a shot.

JWfangirl1992 18 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Its not a BAD score, but when you compare it to Williams. But the one thing I had the most problem with, did Doyle have to ignore Hedwigs Theme??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthehand 3 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 When I compare it to Williams' scores, I just hear a very different score. I see no reason to compare them.And I actually thought the best bits of Doyle's score were the non-Williams themes - the Williams theme(s) seemed to clash with Doyle's style - IMO he'd have done better to leave them out entirely.

King Mark 3,631 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 on the contrary,the only time my ears perked up during GoF was when Hedwig's Theme played.Now I know where I heard the last half of Qiudditch World Cup before,it's a rip off of The Titans from Alexander.k.M.

Diego 21 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I like it too, it has a lot of good cues and while there will always be the issue of continuity I really don't think Williams would have written the dream score everyone was talking about anyway, the style was changed in POA and things like Fawkes' theme in the graveyard scene or the nimbus theme in the first task were unlikely I think. Doyle's score works great in the movie, which in my opinion was very bad and boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I hated Doyle's score at first, but it really is a great piece of work. There is a delicate overall restraint to it that I love, and I dare say "The Black Lake" is up there with Quidditch, Third Year as some great Potter action music, and in retrospect "Voldemort" I can't imagine any other way, especially with the "we've been here and done this before" John Williams Voldy theme, which was the only theme that I did not regret seeing again, next to the annoying Nimbus 2000 theme.The score as a whole conjures up a feeling that I'd say is very reminiscent of "The New Arrival" track from Jerry Goldsmith's The Blue Max, and it's a very sinister coldness and neutrality.
