Rate Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (spoilers)

[ASH]

I am excited to see it.

I really like how everything seems to look in the trailers.

i did not think that the fore-mentioned post spoiled much.

The title of the thread had the movie icon and asked to rate the picture. Considering that you gennerally have to see a picture before you can rate it, I think that would be enough of a warning to stay away from the thread.

Its *always* a good idea to stay away from threads of any kind about upcoming movies on the internet. You just can't expect people to be considerate when it comes to spoilers. Its just the way it is.

That being said, anyone who's been posting on this forum for more than a few weeks knows that there are always two kinds of threads for new movie releases; "Rate X" threads and "X Spoiler thread." This isn't the spoiler thread. Spoilers shouldn't be mentioned and they certainly shouldn't be mentioned without blacked out spoiler text.

I didn't read more than a couple of lines of Ferret's post because, like I said, I just don't expect others to be considerate and I could tell he was going to start talking about the story. I wouldn't even be skimming this thread if I was really, really looking forward to the movie but it does look like it might be good. However, if what Mistwell said is true, then I can't say I approve, but again, he read it at his own risk.

You read reviews to get any idea as to the quality of a picture, not to have key plot points given away.

I don't think his post spoilt much; nothing more than the trailer has anyway.

The title of the thread had the movie icon and asked to rate the picture. Considering that you gennerally have to see a picture before you can rate it, I think that would be enough of a warning to stay away from the thread. The first several posts didn't give any spoilers and you could have seen they were talking about the movie and you could have thought "Oh they're talking about the movie I haven;t seen yet, I'm going to leave this thread before I learn any spoilers"

I agree, maybe a spoiler warning could be added, but I think there was enough of a warning in the words for people to not read the thread if they haven;t seen the picture.

I should have remembered, I'm so used to seeing movies after the US. Sorry I've put spoiler tabs on it now.

Seriously, go watch it I haven't said all the good points in the movie, plus the money you spend will go towards the next movie!

Sorry.

You mention the look of the

Spoiler

werewolf

; how does that compare to the look of the same from Van Helsing? Which I thought looked pretty cool?

 

[nikolai]

Joshua Dyal; I like the look of the

Spoiler

werewolf

. I don't think that

Spoiler

werewolves

have ever been done really well on film, but the CG effects are good. I suppose much depends on your personal preference for the look, but I think the

Spoiler

werewolf

effects are better than was the case in

Spoiler

Van Helsing

or

Spoiler

Underworld

.

 

[Desdichado]

That's good to know. I didn't particularly like the

Spoiler

werewolves

in

Spoiler

Underworld

but like the ones from

Spoiler

Van Helsing

much better. I guess I just always like the whole

Spoiler

Werewolf RPG crinos form as a representation of what a werewolf would be like. In the actual PoA book, though, Remus Lupin seems to be much more like a wolf when in werewolf form.

Sorry, Mistwell, I'm not seeing major glaring sins in that "spoiler" post. There's much more of a spoiling nature in the previews. As for a rating, I'll do it after the midnight showing tonight.

Good movie. I rated it 8. It matched my expectations. It doesn't have that extra special beyond-the-call-of-duty feeling which marks a real masterwork, but it is very well-rounded. I think that no aspect of the movie had glaring flaws.

...no, they haven't started showing movies in Italy before the USA, I'm just in the UK now.

Except that is the opposite of how things tend to work on this board. The ratings threads are usually movie reviews, and are kept spolier free using the spoiler tag. A separate thread is usually opened for spoiler discussions...since the rating thread is for a poll.

The first several posts didn't give any spoilers and you could have seen they were talking about the movie and you could have thought "Oh they're talking about the movie I haven;t seen yet, I'm going to leave this thread before I learn any spoilers"

I come to the ratings thread of a movie I have not seen yet because I want to see what my peers think of the movie...hence the purpose of the thread. Why read a ratings thread AFTER you see it...the ratings help you decide if you want to see the movie to begin with.

I agree, maybe a spoiler warning could be added, but I think there was enough of a warning in the words for people to not read the thread if they haven;t seen the picture.

There was NO WARNING. NONE. Not one scintilla of warning that this was going to be a spoiler thread. I assumed it was called rate harry pottery because it was going to be about rating harry potter!
