is this movie good?

my friends said it sucked but I loved the books and the whole story line is simply awesome.

[LauraWhitehead1]

@ryanbanan I liked the movie, but it's nothing like the book (isn't that always true?). Not as dark as the books.

9:32 sounds JUST like the Jurassic Park score!!!!! hahah

[LauraWhitehead1]

@Dancermaniac47 lol yes it does. My husband even asked if it was a John Williams piece when he heard it :)

[starwarsworld]

this douchebag is going to score Deathly Hallows, I wanted John Williams, he better compose part 2!!!!!!!!

[LauraWhitehead1]

Actually I think he will do a wonderful job. Williams just doesn't compose the same as he once did.

[IndraInza]

i agree, john williams is STILL the compose he was before, Prisoner of Azkaban was an awesome soundtrack and Indiana Jones 4 was a brillant score harking back to the originals. I really wanted to hear hedwig's theme again and many others. If anything John williams should cap the musical story he started

@XpressTUBER You have obviously failed to grasp the basic concepts of the book. The Authority in the story was in immense suffering, kept alive for Metatron's personal ends. The children did Him a favor in allowing Him to pass on. As for the daemons, they are a representation of the soul, not the evil beings of Christianity.

Finally, congratulations: yes, the witches are good guys. Your reading comprehension isn't THAT terrible, I suppose

[Zizzlehoff]

@LauraWhitehead1 True, and, in addition to the lighter tone, they omitted the ending betrayal scenes from the movie. I think they wanted a happy ending

[XpressTUBER]

The movie has been dumbed down to fool kids and their parents in the hope that they'll buy his garbage, where in the end the children kill God and everyone can do as they please.The movie is indescribably evil. The word "demon" is repeated several dozen times throughout the movie, as each child has it's own lovable demon. Witches by the hundreds are featured in the movie, & are portrayed as being good, helpful and rescuers.

I have the video game...

[nashertheatheist]

A pity the film didn't live up to the book. I mean, it does have a good soundtrack, but it wasn't as dark. It softened the themes rather too much and more or less killed its appeal to those of us who read the book as kids and grew up able to understand the deeper, more adult themes.

[23andrespipe]

what is the name of the first song?

[RodmanForever]

I love the last song from this video. It's called "Epilogue" I guess. This is why, even though this movie is a bad adptation from the book, the ending always makes me cry. It's because of that song... simply love it!

[makana00014]
