Really, Punisher? Way to be mature. I say something you don't agree with and naturally the most reasonable conclusion you come up with is to tell me "F*ck you". I never once said I had a problem with Ridley Scott. I love Alien. I love Blade Runner. I love Legend, White Squall, Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, Hannibal. I thought the Duellists was underrated and I really loved Matchstick Men and American Gangster. That being said, he's not a filmmaker without flaw. Scorsese, the Cohen brothers, Spielberg, Lucas, Coppola, Stone all have duds in their film careers and Scott is no exception (1492: A Conquest of Paradise anyone?). As a lifelong fan of the book, I just didn't like his take on Robin Hood, that's all... Next time, try not to put words in my mouth... Oh, and yes, that was directed towards you, Punisher.

What the hell? The movie has a good look to it and a great cast, but as someone who enjoys the book by Howard Pyle, it looks like Ridley Scott's gonna rape this story like Wolfgang Peterson raped Homer's Iliad with Troy. I'm not saying it has to get every single scene and line down pat to the book 'cause that's not necessary, but at least bear some faithfulness to the story... That being said, I'll still probably see it anyway, just so I can make a proper critique of it.

I absolutely loved it. Obviously the hardcore fanboys are upset 'cause of the omitted quidditch match, but the book's 870 pages long and the film had such dark, ominous tone to it that it would've seemed out of place. Anyway, the story was great. Everyone gave outstanding performances, and the last thirty to twenty minutes were just phenomenal. Very great movie, and I'm looking forward to "The Half-Blood Prince".
