    I was afraid of this.

    You don't have anything to worry about, the ending was magnificent as well as the whole movie.

    I (who generally deny the existing of the epilogue on shipper's conditions) was really moved by the 19 years later.

     

    You're gonna love it, promise ♥

    Cool deal! Thanks.

    The Tree of Life

    Saw it about a week ago. There were some parts where I thought they could've gotten the same point across in less time. You gotta know what you're getting yourself into before you go (which I did). I didn't have any narrative in the traditional sense. It does away with traditional cinematic language altogether. I appreciated the talent and the film making that went into this film. And the film has stayed with me. Not sure how much I liked it though. Malick is definitely an auteur.

     

    It is a challenging film to watch. If you just want to be entertained (good story, fun), then this is not the film for you.

    Super 8

    I enjoyed it. It was entertaining. It had a nostalgic feel to it.

     

    My biggest complaint though was the lens flare. I thought Abrams lens flares were bad in Star Trek but in Super 8 they were downright distracting. At one point they just stole a scene from Elle. If I were her, I'd be upset. The actors delivering lines are why we see the movie, not "stylistic" directing. **rant over.

    I'm sure I'll like the film a lot. I just need an emotional closure and I hope I get that. I need it to linger on the whole franchise with my thoughts and feelings. So I hope it's not a "It's over, get out. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here." type of thing.

    well i know some of the fansites have seen the film early, and i read one of the reviews and they didn't mention that at all. so if what you heard was true, I'd think the fansites would have been complaining about it, but they didn't say anything about it.

    Yeah but fansites are gonna be a lot more lenient than a regular reviewer. And I know a lot of people think that reviewers are just out to get a pound of flesh and for some that is true. But I think for the most part reviewers wanna see a good film. They don't wanna waste 2 hours sitting through something they don't like just so they can write a scathing review.

    I'm not saying they said the film was bad. They just said that after all the action and battle and fighting and danger and intensity and whatnot that there wasn't really any coda. The ending came too quickly. That was their main gripe.

    Some of the early reviews and stuff I've been reading about the film say that the ending suffers. They say that the series isn't given a proper goodbye. Word is, is that the end of the film comes and goes too quickly with no time for the audience to linger on the moment and reflect about all that's happened over 8 movies and the last ten years.

     

    We've put in the time and effort as fans and audience members, the least they could give us is a proper sendoff. But from what I'm hearing (and I hope it's wrong) is it's more like "Thanks for giving us your money, now don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out."

    Goodbye

    I guess it's time for goodbye. This forum has been what I've needed it to be for the past several months but now I must be moving on. I appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers as I'm going through my divorce. But I need to get out there and explore other parts of life now.

     

    That's not to say that I won't be checking in the next few days or won't be coming back once in a while. I'll probably come back around the release of the last movie to see what things are like for the last time. I may even post then.

     

    But for now, goodbye.

     

     

    I only mention it because sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? But sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude. But sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man.

    I feel like there are no more hhr fansites anymore.

    You're probably right. Not only did Rowling write R/Hr as a couple but she basically called H/Hr shippers stupid. I think that killed a lot of H/Hr shipping. Plus it's getting to the end. Yeah, we're all excited about the last movie but as far as the HP universe is concerned it's like waiting for somebody to die. No more discussion, no more speculation etc.
