Harry Potter Fans With No Life

All discussions about Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

It´s been a long time since I last watched POA but last week I watched it again. And this time I didn´t like it as much as before. Some of the scenes were not as good as I saw them before. And the narrative felt strange. What´s wrong with me?!! LOL It used to be my favorite (I blame Sirius/Oldman for this)

As you are well aware, it wasn't my favorite.
Other than the directing, I think the casting could have been better.

And of course, the addition of all the stupid crap. (Not real easy to accept, for one who enjoyed the book)

I don't think I will ever re-watch this one (unless forced to). I still remember leaving the theatre gasping for breath, shaking my head, blubbering "wha.. what .. but ... but, and cursing myself for driving 65 miles just so that I could see the movie.

I've gotten to the point that my stomach doesn't hurt if I watch it.

That probably means I can begin to forgive Kloves' complete lack of segues, changing the story and missing important parts - - and !@#$@&* Cuaron's inability to direct the movie the way it should have been, his piss-poor casting choices, his lack of understanding European Magic - - and that whoever picked him to direct should be shot. OK, so maybe my stomach still hurts a bit...

When it first came out I talked my Mom into going to see it with me and the friend who'd turned me onto Potter, and realized she wasn't having a good time, that if you were trying to watch PoA and weren't such a Potter fan that it didn't much matter what the movie did you'd have a good time anyhow, that you probably wouldn't have a clue what was going on in the movie. It was my favourite book so I had high expectations. PoA is, unfortunately, the worst movie in the series... its like an "In Joke" that excludes everyone else.

I actually went to the opening at midnight... Should have gone to bed early.

I still like it but it is not my favorite anymore, I suppose it is because the story evolved but I can´t defend the script and the acting anymore. It wasn´t a good movie.
