The best* - Tina Turner

The critics in London were saying it was the best Harry Potter movie todate. Me mates back home were of the opposite view - it was the worst. I had to find it out for meself.



I almost watched it in Colchester a couple of weeks ago. The first movie i ever watched there was HP and the Goblet of Fire - so it would have been fitting if the last was another HP movie. But the 7 quid price tag discouraged me.

Thus i had to go to a TGV cinema yesterday to catch it since it is no longer screening in any of the GSC cinemas. Oh, btw, did u guys know that TGV Pyramid has been renovated? Not too bad, actually. Comfy seats and lots of leg room. TGV Pyramid has always been sentimental for me. Used to go there all the time, drink coffee at the Coffee Bean outside (which has since been closed down) while waiting for the movie to start. It was also the place where we did the Lord of The Rings trilogy, spending the whole nite there and leaving only after the sun came up!!!

Anyways, i left the place feeling very good! It was a long time since i have been so satisfied wif a movie. It was also one of the rare occasions when the movie fared much better than the book. I remembered how i was so frustrated, reading it. Honestly, i hated the book. Book 6 was not much better - but the final book... ah, that's for another post altogether.

A lot of people will disagree but to me, this has to be the best HP movie todate. Why? Well, go here to see me 10 reasons. The only complaint i can have is that Ron and Hermione's characters were pretty limited. But then again, that's a necessary sacrifice in a story where other characters needed to be developed.

Note: Poster obtained from a link in IMDB

*One of her most successful single in both the US and the UK. It was actually released by Bonnie Tyler first and it was subsequently used as the theme song for sports persons like Chris Eubank and Ayrton Senna (the best F1 driver ever!!!).
