Everything he mentioned there was foreshadowed and later explained, there was no way Harry could have stopped riddle on his own and without help.

Gmajor:



I actually think it's the worst from a story telling perspective.
It's enjoyable oh. But the instant you think about it, you'll realize that there is too many Deus Ex Machina's in it

Gmajor:


Like I said initially, it is enjoyable.
A movie can be flawed and still be fun and enjoyable.


Here are some Deus ex machinas I can remember.

1) when the Harry and Ron were in the spiders den and were almost devoured by the spiders, the flying car just magically appears out of thin air and after that rescue, the car is never seen again.

2) in the chamber of secret, Dumbuldor's bird magically finds its way into the chamber and blinds the Basaliks.


The birds also managed to bring the sorting hat that somehow contained the only weapon that can defeat a basalik.


The bird also has an antidote to something as lethal as a basalik bite.


The bird also has magically powers that can allow it to life 4 people out of a well.


Hmmmmm


Granted, Deus ex Machina are very prevalent in fantasy and I don't hate them.

But when you compare HP 2 to the rest of the story, you'll realize that the Deus ex machina plenty wella

Gmajor:


Which kind mumu comment be this? If you no understand wetin I type make you swerve joor

Chibudollar:
Time to check out the part 2 of Train to Busan, although the reviews I have been seeing aren't encouraging.

Gmajor:



The fact that those things were foreshadowed doesn't mean that they are not contrived

VerifiedStalin:

Like your never say die attitude.

It is sacrilegious to come at one of the All time greats of Fantasy with weak points without getting pummeled.

Chibudollar:

The Hobbit Trilogy 8.5/10

I marvelled at the brilliance and ingenuity of the novel, but I must say the movie is a class of it's own and it tried to compliment the book and did a rather good job although still fell short ( What movie doesn't? ). They took ordinary but interesting moments in the book and made spectacles of them. While the book was a fairytale style adventure, the movies were epic fantasy adventures; and they didn't stop there, they took it a little bit too far, they introduced a love triangle for ph-uc sakes! I aslo want to point out the some of the action sequences were quite outlandish, especially those involving elves, it was like kung fu fleems on steriods.

WOW, one hour plus of undiluted action! My PRECIOUS!!! battle of the five armieses, we've never seen anything likes its, has we precious? no we hasn't. Gollum Gollum.

Now, I am quiet aware thanks to the internet that this trilogy doesn't compare to the lord of the rings, so I have come to expect great things from that one when I see it, I'm on book one and the story is just too phenomenal already. Tolkein is one terrific writer.
