Harry Potter & the DH 1.0

[atticlibrarian]

Here it is. My Epic review of Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part 1 in no specific chronological order. 

• First of all. Best part about the audience? Average age was about 23. Worst part? The annoying guy behind me who was about 30 and had probably never read the books. He kept say obnoxious things like 'Oh shit!' and commenting on all the shippy stuff. I wanted to kill him.
• The previews. They are an essential part of the midnight showing after all. Not one movie I want to see. Green Hornet is laughable. And not in a good way. Had high hopes for Green Lantern, but I'm sticking with my view hat DC movies just don't have it the same way Marvel movies do. I was up in the air about whether Tron was going to be any good. I'm decided it's not. And i still hate Jeff Bridges. Cowboys & Aliens blew the audience's mind. Apparently they hadn't heard anything about that acid trip of a movie. And I'm ignoring the fact that anything involving Kung Fu Panda was mentioned. Not to mention that Twilight rip off version of Red Riding Hood.
• Rupert. Stole the fucking movie. Again. It's no secret that I love him, but I'm convinced he's the only real actor among the trio. His comic timing is amazing and just seems really natural. 
• Dan Radcliffe. Please PLEASE for the love of humanity KEEP YOUR FUCKING CLOTHES ON. I can't even go into how off-putting he is to me. 
• Dobby. I will never understand people's obsession with this character or why they cry when he dies. I find him annoying beyond anything else.  
• Rupert looking like a sociopath being all jealous and crazy in the tent. I cheered. He was so fucking spot on and perfect and fucking badass. The way Ron is supposed to be. 
• I love Lupin in the books, but the way David Thewlis plays him and the way he's written makes him seem more than a little crazy. And completely out of character. It's bothered me ever since POA and it seems some things never change.
• The twins. THE TWINS. James and Oliver seem like really cool guys and they were amazing here. I'm hole-y. Oh god and that toothbrush in the ear. I think I died. And it was a great distraction from Dan's lack of anything resembling sexual energy. Something tells me that they might just kill me during the second part when Fred dies.
• Voldie seemed a little too human looking this time around. I found it really distracting. If anything he should be less human. 
• I was not really a fan of the Three Brothers sequence. If I saw it anywhere else it would be fine, it just seemed a little bit out of context. It was like suddenly being transported into the head of Tim Burton. 
• I knew the point beforehand where the films were split, but it the last 5 minutes or so just seemed a bit...odd. It probably had something to do with the fact that I found that Dobby sequence faintly ridiculous, but it was just really jarring to me. 
• Speaking of which. The studio and filmmakers have all that money and yet the CGI of Dumbledore's tomb looked AWFUL. I almost laughed. 
• The infamous Harry/Hermione scene during The Silver Doe. Did anyone else think it was slightly Twilight-esque? I can only hope that was a subtle jab at not only Twilight fans but the delusional Harry/Hermione shippers as well. 
• As much as I hate Emma Watson as an actress, I did find her slightly amusing in this one. She knows what the shippers want. 
• Oh god the dancing. THE DANCING. What. The. Fuck. was that? 
• I wanted pictures of Dumbledore and his BF Grindlewald during their youth. Or at least more of an in depth explanation of all that. 
• I was glad they put in the stuff with all the wandmakers, though not the way they did it. But i rarely like any of those flashback/vision type things they attempt.
• I love a Matthew Lewis sighting. i want more of him in my life. 
• Rupert's thighs. That is all. 
• I could talk about Rupert all day long. I always find him attractive, but I had a hard time keeping the smile off my face during any of his scenes. He's such an instant turn on to me. He can be naked forever. 
• What was up with Bill Nighy's voice during that scene with Dumbledore's will? He didn't sound like himself.
• Even though I'd seen the 7 Harry's scene before last night I found it deeply disturbing this time around. It really made me realize just how feminine Dan is and how he's going to grow up into one of those men who look like old lesbians. Every time his face was on screen for too long I realized it and started to freak out. Basically I just can't look at it. His face that is. But then again, I never could. 

So to sum up: Rupert made me want to get naked and start gyrating on tables. As he does. Dan made me feel awkward about everything. Emma was half-way decent. And everything else was lovely and fine. Might actually warrant a rewatch in theaters.

Oh god the dancing. THE DANCING. What. The. Fuck. was that?

ROFL! I could not stop laughing during that. Dan is sooooo awkward and completely gay. I mean, seriously, look at him dancing with Emma. There's no way on earth that boy likes women. XD XD XD
