Re: OT- The Two Towers Spoiler
Is that new Harry Potter movie good? I did not see the first movie either because I thought it was just a kids' movie. But I hear that it's not just for kids, what do you think?

Re: OT- The Two Towers Spoiler
if you like fairy tales (NOT fantasy) thats movie is for you.
I've bough several HP books before, and had been mighty dissapointed as its realy too childish... (after four years of "serious" sci-fi and fantasy)

Re: OT- The Two Towers Spoiler
The movie that I'm REALLY looking forward to is Star Trek: Nemesis. I've been waiting for this one for a long time. This is going to be a good one, it's an EVEN numbered movie!

Re: OT- The Two Towers Spoiler
The new Harry Potter movie is really enjoyable. As a fan of the books, my only criticism was that the story focused almost exclusively on the "Chamber of Secrets" as opposed to mixing in the life as a student..even though it's a student of magic. So you see less of the Harry and the main characters as students learning how to work (and work with) magic, and more seems to show them as already capable. Overall, the tone of this movie is much darker than I remember the book.
As for the books being too child-like, I would say that it's a story about children FOR children. I think that's part of why I found them such a pleasure to read.

Re: OT- The Two Towers Spoiler
I agree, Harry Potter is a hack. I haven't seen any of the movies, or read any of the books. But it looks and sounds like a stupid movie. (No offense to anyone that likes it.)
Star Trek Nemesis, I absolutly can't wait for this one. It is going to be a awesome movie. I've been a Star Trek fan my whole life and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Only bad part that I see from the previews is it looks like they trash the Enterprise.  I guess it has to happen sometime...
LOTR, the books are alot better but the movies is still friggin sweet. Looking forward to see TTT in a couple weeks.
