I loved the characters, ...LOTR moves are fantastic. I loved the characters, the beautiful music, the photography... masterpieces! <br />About Harry Potter, even though I've always liked all the actors, especially the kids, the first 3 movies didn't get it, for me. In Prisoner of Azkaban that werewolf is a joke! I hated how he is portrayed! And they didn't give any backstory into the Marauders!!! Can you tell I'm still seething about it? But from Goblet on, the movies have improved. I just saw Half Blood Prince, and I completely, totally loved it!<br />I read Schindler's List in High School. I think the movie touched me more than the book. It's one of those cases in which an image says more than a million words.Yamilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08769312615756253197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753047208077056954.post-26575073890033127332009-07-15T18:40:15.732-07:002009-07-15T18:40:15.732-07:00I agree with the previous comment! Ella Enchanted...I agree with the previous comment! Ella Enchanted the movie was not good. I have however, loved the Harry Potter movies, even though they changed a few things, but at least they kept the basic storyline. I also love Pride and Prejudice. The BBC version, and the newer version.:)Chantele Sedgwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920913211842919013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753047208077056954.post-44814430187437176952009-07-15T17:18:57.301-07:002009-07-15T17:18:57.301-07:00Gail Carson Levine's Ella Enchanted is my favo...Gail Carson Levine's Ella Enchanted is my favorite children's book. It touched me. I laugh and cry each time I read it. But the movie was a joke. The premise was ruined, the villain completely fabricated, the entire conflict was changed. Not to mention the cardboard characters written to replace Levine's elegantly crafted characters. Really, the only thing similar between the two is the fact that Ella has to do what she's told.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08673008115756142503noreply@blogger.com
