Harry Potter- and the Last Movie of Their Careers *Spoilers*

So I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, but before I even went to the cinema I had made 2 grave mistakes

1. I had read the books, notoriously ever Harry Potter movie has fell waaaay short of the book
2. I let myself get carried away with how awesome the trailer looked. I had such a huge expectation for it that it had a lot to live up to if I was to walk away satisified.

Yeh, we're not really taking you seriously anymore, Vold


My result, not as much of a let down as Transformers 3, but I still walked out of it feeling short changed.

And everyones been complaining at me, saying it was the best/ most emotional film ever, so I'll explain why it was good, (easily the best Potter) but why didn't live up to the hype for me.

It ticked most of the boxes up until the end

*Good action scenes,
*Emma Watson,
*Sweet sequence with no dialogue during the final battle where they're running through Hogwarts and there's big monster things everywhere
*Emma Watson
*Snape was bad ass
*Emma Watson
*Snape's death was nicely handled
*Plot moved nice and fast

oh and Emma Watson was in it so that made it win =D

BUT
*Ron, did he have more than about 3 lines in it?
*When Harry tells R+H he's away to get killed, Hermione hugs him, Ron stands there like the gormless numpty he is. Great acting there Grint, fantastic
*CGI on the Dragon thing was pretty average
*I couldn't keep up with who owned what wand, who disarmed who, which wand worked for who, which wand was secretly sleeping with someone's sister's wand, it was just scandalous
*Just where did Neville get that sword?
*Were we supposed to know what that blood red turd thing in Harry's death sequence was?

*The final duel, awesome as it was, after it was over, no one seemed to care.
Voldemort's dead, finally, after 8 movies, even though everyone seemed to think Harry would die, and yet as he's walking past them, they give kind of half ass smiles or just plain don't acknowledge him.
I mean seriously, this was so anti climactic

*And then the 19 years later part.
Well done to the CGI people on Harry and Ron, they looked great.
Fair play with Ginny, but you might have overdone it a bit there lads, she's only meant to be about 35 ish.
And Malfoy just looks ridiculous, like an eccentric grandad
And I'm sorry but was there not time to CGI Hermione (however the hell you spell her name)?

An older Harry seen here, along with his granny, Ginny


Ron will always look like a moron


We might be able to get away with just cutting her hair a bit


A new character, sex pest uncle Malfoy


My 10 word sum up?

At times epic but anti climactic,  Ron still can't act 




Don't agree? Do agree? Let me know, leave a comment!

The Scottscars 2023

    The 2023 Scottscars For the film industry, 2023 was a year of soaring highs, particularly in animation, as well as crippling strains- see the SAG-AFTA strike or the state of Marvel and DC. So grab yourself a Venti Iced Skinny Hazelnut Macchiato, with sugar free syrup and enjoy the 2023 Scottscars- the awards they all want to win, they just don't know it yet. The running order as always: The 2023 Scottsars Awards Last years predictions 2024 movie predictions My 2023 Stats Because the Scottscars are 100% my personal opinion, here’s what we’re working with! I had a very busy year doing the festival circuit across the world for my own short animated film, Candlelight , so I didn't see as much as usual in terms of feature films- although I have watched 75,348 short films this year. Movies watched: 72 Cinema : 29 times, 11 Imax Most watched actor/actress:  Jackie Chan Most Watched Director: Brett Ratner (oh dear 💀) Notable films I haven’t seen this year:  Tar Maestro...

The 2022 Scottscars

  The 2022 Scottscars Hello readers! Hope you’re both well. 2022 was a funny old year in the movies. There’s certainly a sense of Hollywood trying to find its place in the new post-covid landscape, to varying success. Disney’s MCU experiments had mixed results, with the Disney plus shows varying wildly in quality and Thor 4 being an attempt to make a film about cancer into a stand up comedy routine.  The year started with Will Smith’s slapping Oscars performance, then the world heard about Amber Heard’s dog stepping on a bee, Ezra Miller continued to be the absolute worst, Henry Cavill being in and out and all about with the Witcher and Superman, Warner Brothers showing absolutely zero confidence in their products by shelving 2 COMPLETED movies and James Gunn deciding to toss out the entire DC universe and rebooting it from scratch. But one thing that DOESN’T change is the most obscure and least renowned film awards of the year (It’s tradition now, so we're stuck with it). We...

Guess the Sketch!

So I've decided that my artwork's went waaaay downhill since I moved to digital sketching and inking. I still prefer digital for non messy colouring but for sketching, nothing beats a good ol' pencil. So for my first serious pencil sketch since my Sherlock Holmes sketch back in about 2008 I decided to sketch ......... Why don't you guess? Here's my first initial outlines, which to be honest looks like a troll in drag. Anyone who guesses right before I update the post with my progress can pick what I draw next! That's right people- FREE COMMISSION! Post your guesses here on the blog if you have a googlemail/gmail account or in the link on my facebook Dear, dear I've got my work cut out for me
