Fantastic End to Potter Series
PostedAugust 2, 2011
FilmicFan
from Durham, NC
The film provides an exciting, emotionally satisfying end to the Potter series. The writing is very faithful to the novel, and the acting is superb. Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint have not only grown up but have matured greatly as actors too. The special effects, especially in IMAX 3D, are spectacular. Highly recommended.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Another Spot-On Adaptation
PostedJuly 31, 2010

from Durham, NC
A super film: strong performances, tight action sequences, excellent pacing, and fidelity with the novel. Kristen Stewart proves she's a talented actress with virtually unlimited potential in this film--see The Runaways for another shining example of her work. Kristen can do more with a glance and a turn of the head than many actresses can do with a full soliloquy. Eclipse should be on every movie fan's must-see summer film list.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A Tour de Force by Cameron
PostedDecember 30, 2009
FilmicFan
from Durham, NC
This movie succeeds brilliantly on every level: technology, writing, acting, and theme. It's synergistic, melding all filmic elements into a cohesive, entertaining experience. Cameron's theme is Green, but not didactically so.
Cameron does portray corporate and military organizations as stereotypically greedy and violent, yet the hero depends on his military training and on corporate technology in his quest to save the Na'vi. And they seek his aid precisely because he possesses those qualities. They need what they hate, what's destroying them. A classic turnabout, but not simplistic at all.
See Avatar now.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Perfect Interpretation of Novel
PostedNovember 30, 2009

from Durham, NC
It's obvious the vast majority of critics who wrote negative reviews for this film never read the novel. Both my wife and I are Twilight Saga fans, an we both agree that this interpretation is as accurate as Peter Jackson's Ring Trilogy films.
The only quibbles I have are hold-overs from Twilight: Jake and Emmett aren't large enough, and Rosalie isn't beautiful enough. Other than those criticisms, this film is spot-on. See it now.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Epic film, if a bit too long
PostedDecember 1, 2008
FilmicFan
from Durham, NC
This is an old-fashioned frontier epic--really, it's a Western, with an Australian setting and cast. It has sweeping scope and cinematographical grandeur, and the performances are affecting, if a bit stereotypical.
It's just a tad too long--it has about three endings, kinda like Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
Overall, though, I recommend it highly. Thoroughly entertaining and well-worth the admission price.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
