I       have to think he (along with a lot of other reviewers) is counting       this as one film. It's not. It's part 1 of a two part film. Of course       it will feel empty and leaves the audience cheated because it is not       over. Not all movies have to have a beginning, middle and end. If the       part 1 is included in the name like this one is then a normal human       being would realize that this isnt the whole story. Why would you       conclude this film? Then there would be no need for parts.              Also, I feel as if Tom didn't really see the film as a reviewer. I       feel he went in only to point out the flaws. He wasn't there to       appreciate what worked.              As someone who didn't read the last book this review will appeal to       people that aren't fans if the series. But, I feel that this shouldn't       be counted down for things such as incomplete story or dragging when       it is clear that a part 2 is coming. Also I find it hard to believe Ed       and care for what he has written when he has spelling errors and       errors on the franchise in general.       >       > oh yeah.       >       > blow me.              You wish.              > http://tr.im/1f7r              OK, I'll blow you. :)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
