Kate (355 KP) rated Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 (2010) in Movies

It does drag, the book is quite slow too and to split it into two films drags it out even more, but the author would not let anyone edit the book down and wanted everything in the film. At least the film did mirror the book unlike other films where they edit it down so much it is so different from the book.

Almost faultless
I was very much looking forward to the release of Borderlands 3 and honestly.....it only fell short ever so slightly
Firstly, the negatives......the slit screen is not the greatest. As a game series I play with my boyfriend, I was very happy to hear that number 3 would include the split screen play but have been left a bit disappointed. The split screen only comes is horizontal play, which can make some of the enemies hard to see, some controls off, and very hard to see your own menu.
Secondly, the subtitles, menu etc are all horrendously small. You can make it bigger but not by very much.
I really do hope that Gearbox fix these in their updates as I have seen online that a lot of other people aren't happy with these issues.
Up and on to the positives! The game itself is BEA-U-TIFUL. The graphics are very well done. The new characters are great too. There is SO many more weapons to find and it's much easier to gain experience and get good weapons.
Some of the quests are hard just because the sheer number of bad guys you have to kill and with the weird split screen, which likes to lag sometimes, but once you get used to it, your skill set is back up.
If you are a fan of Borderlands, I would very much still recommend you play 3. It is very much a classic Borderlands game and is very fun to play, also a great added bonus is Claptrap isn't as annoying as he is in the first two games.

There were a lot of characters but all were pretty well-developed. I liked the way the story was split between many different perspectives. It was gripping story that I got through quickly, especially for the length of the book, but the ending fell very flat. I was so invested in the story that just...ended. Overall, though, I thought it was a good read.

I can't say this is the most exciting film, I think there could have been more action, but it is based on a true story and the cast is decent. A bit confusing at times as the men are split into couples which go off separately to explore but nevertheless I was unaware of the real "Monuments Men" and found the story to be interesting.

can't split narration from the book!
When I listen to a book, I try really REALLY hard to write a bit about the book then a separate bit about the narration.
However! Part of the reason I am enjoying these Protectors stories is the narration by Joel Leslie! So I cannot split them!
I'm not a fan of READING first person books and I make no apologies for that but LISTENING to them is becoming a firm favourite! Joel Leslie put so much emotion, feeling so much of the character's very soul into his work, and by god you feel for these guys, you really do!
I have no doubt, no doubt at all, hat I WILL be listening to the others books as they come out in audio. I don't want to switch to reading, I might not enjoy them so much!
5 stars for the book
5 stars for the narration.

Try sleeping with the lights on
There is no way you'll want to sleep in the dark after watching this scary, unsettling movie. Expect to check the locks on your doors and windows, check behind the shower curtain, in closets, and under the bed after you watch this. Your life will be split into two distinct time periods: Before The Strangers and After.
Mwhahahaha.

Too much hype for not alot of action
No match on original

To say This film was hyped up is understatement. I was sos excited when it was released but I felt it was so dragged out and then about 20 mins of overall action. This is the problem as they have decided to split it up a brilliant original film to make more profit.
