Took the missus and V2.0 to a double feature on sunday. Harry Potter and Hoodwinked.
The potter was lame. Lame lame. I spent half the time wondering if I'd walked into a broadway musical, and the other trying to reconcile the missing bits from the book. Stands to reason when you're on your third director that things wouldn't line up from one movie to the next, but for Christ's sake woman, get some creative control back. The special effects might have been well done, but who could tell. There was hardly a scene long enough to quality for the name. But so long as she's getting rich off it, right?
Hoodwinked started off ...... slow. And I doubt many people got the Poirot jokes that laced the movie. Sped up nicely towards the end, but a little pepper at the begining would have helped. Used the old Shrek-style rip-off-every-famous-movie-line-you-can technique. Maybe overused it. But the kids liked it.
