Quote:Oh yeah, I completely agree. The cinematography was excellent -- consider the "feel" of the playground scene at the beginning, too, where the color balance feels very different and somehow carries over the hot, unpleasant weather we hear about.
I thought there were BEAUTIFUL visuals and fantastic acting. Tonks and Bellatrix looked great, and Bella's got her evil sadistic part down pat. Loved it, and something that just sticks in my head: that part where she does some sort of slide into the floo and vanishes right away in the bright green flames (that was pretty awesome too -- the whole floo thing).
Helena Bonham Carter was an excellent Bellatrix, even if she was the second choice for the role (I forget who they first tapped, but I remember when she had to bow out and Carter took over). But I really wanted to see more of Tonks.
Quote:Oh yes, excellent visuals everywhere. No argument from me. On any of your points, in fact. I don't think anywhere we really disagree -- we just had different things come to fore when we thought about the film.
In terms of backgrounds -- breath taking.
I have to admit that I'm still really concerned about what's going on with Bonnie Wright, though. Given the importance of Ginny to the long term plot, they wouldn't be sidelining her without a damned good reason.
