Film Room Madness Round 1: #10 Harry Potter Franchise vs #23 Terminator Franchise
- Thread starter MartyMcFly
- Start date
first movie was too much like the book...that was one of the biggest criticisms of the film.
I agree w/ HBP's movie being practically different, but the other flicks were about 50% accurate with some details changed to accommodate the film verse over the book's universe, but that's a given.

I'm going to add to this: Movie adaptations are supposed to adapt, not be carbon copies. Every single movie carried the spirit and tone of the books. Did they leave stuff out? Yes. Did they change some things? Of course. Books aren't movies and movies aren't books. The first two movies are so damn slavish to the books that it feels like there was no point to them. An adaptation is supposed to express what someone else thought or felt about the book they read. Those movies are great representations of the books and can stand next to them as a great pieces of the Harry Potter puzzle

Harry Potter for the sheer number of quality films. T1 & T2 are landmark scifi action films (T2 is arguably my favorite film of all time) but after that there is a huge drop off in quality with the series not really worth watching outside of the first two. Harry Potter on the other hand is consistent quality with Azkaban being a true highlight.

I dont know if anyone in this thread would try to argue hp has a single movie better than T2....but as a franchise its more consistentT2 alone is better than the HP franchise

The debate is franchise breh. And as a franchise, HP is more consistent. T2 is probably the best movie of the bunch yeah, but that's two classic flicks, and 3 that, for me, range from meh to trash. There's no trash movie in the HP franchise. shyt there's not even a meh movie for real.

Terminator in another close one
I'm hoping this new movie (Terminator 5) is good since Linda Hamilton is coming back looking like she's going to kick everybody's ass.

Might have to give Potter another shot but since I've only bothered to watch like 2 movies all the way through & just never got into the franchise I'm going with Arnold.

Harry Potter, for various reasons already stated here in this thread.
Terminator 1 and 2 are still what they are though in terms of impact.

i liked the first 3 potter movies. but they eventually started to fall off like book series tend to(neville not shining until the last one? whack as shyt)
terminator and judgment day are classics. the 3rd is the hottest garbage, the 4th was pretty good and im told that the last one was shyt.
the fall off is harder on the terminator movies due to being so revered. this is a difficult
