Everything he mentioned there was foreshadowed and later explained, there was no way Harry could have stopped riddle on his own and without help.


The fact that those things were foreshadowed doesn't mean that they are not contrived

I actually think it's the worst from a story telling perspective.
It's enjoyable oh. But the instant you think about it, you'll realize that there is too many Deus Ex Machina's in it

Gmajor:


Like I said initially, it is enjoyable.
A movie can be flawed and still be fun and enjoyable.


Here are some Deus ex machinas I can remember.

1) when the Harry and Ron were in the spiders den and were almost devoured by the spiders, the flying car just magically appears out of thin air and after that rescue, the car is never seen again.

2) in the chamber of secret, Dumbuldor's bird magically finds its way into the chamber and blinds the Basaliks.


The birds also managed to bring the sorting hat that somehow contained the only weapon that can defeat a basalik.


The bird also has an antidote to something as lethal as a basalik bite.


The bird also has magically powers that can allow it to life 4 people out of a well.


Hmmmmm


Granted, Deus ex Machina are very prevalent in fantasy and I don't hate them.

But when you compare HP 2 to the rest of the story, you'll realize that the Deus ex machina plenty wella

Pseudo-intellectualism at it's finest.

Dude, do yourself a solid and quit embarrassing your ancestors biko.

Time to check out the part 2 of Train to Busan, although the reviews I have been seeing aren't encouraging.

You're using MovieBox Pro. Great app.

Bros, all those stuff were foreshadowed just because of those scenes you complained about. Had it been that they suddenly pulled those off from their as...s, it is then your complains become truly genuine.

Seems China has already recovered from Covid-19 seeing as they're doing bonkers numbers pre-covid even with 50% Theater capacity. cheesy
New Chinese Blockbuster "The Eight Hundred"doing massive haul in 11days frame!! shocked
Already 3rd highest grossing movie 2020 behind Sonic! And Bad Boys For Life.

Tenet already looking to profit after strong debut internationally. Sept 3 premiere in China. grin


Seems Wonder Woman 1984 wouldn't need much to worry then, since they're easily both the most anticipated this year.

All this Epistle ain't necessary..A movie about a school for Witches and Wizards and you are doing mental gymnastics why this and that happened? Might as well question every fantasy movie in history? and all concerns were duly explained if you paid attention so just rest abeg....

The Hobbit Trilogy 8.5/10

I marvelled at the brilliance and ingenuity of the novel, but I must say the movie is a class of it's own and it tried to compliment the book and did a rather good job although still fell short ( grin What movie doesn't? ). They took ordinary but interesting moments in the book and made spectacles of them. While the book was a fairytale style adventure, the movies were epic fantasy adventures; and they didn't stop there, they took it a little bit too far, they introduced a love triangle for ph-uc sakes! I aslo want to point out the some of the action sequences were quite outlandish, especially those involving elves, it was like kung fu fleems on steriods.

WOW, one hour plus of undiluted action! grin My PRECIOUS!!! battle of the five armieses, we've never seen anything likes its, has we precious? no we hasn't. Gollum Gollum. cheesy

Now, I am quiet aware thanks to the internet that this trilogy doesn't compare to the lord of the rings, so I have come to expect great things from that one when I see it, I'm on book one and the story is just too phenomenal already. Tolkein is one terrific writer.

Adam's Apple (2005)

A neo-nazi sentenced to community service at a church clashes with the blindly devotional priest. A dark Biblical allegory that's alternatively funny and shocking.

Tombstone (1993)

A successful lawman's plans to retire anonymously in Tombstone, Arizona, are disrupted by the kind of outlaws he was famous for eliminating. If you're seeking a stylish modern western with a solid story and a well-chosen ensemble cast, Tombstone is your huckleberry.
