RAMROD 96,494 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 And he is correct. I would appreciate it more when an actor or a director would do due diligence on learning the source material before doing anything with the character they are starring as or filming a movie based on a (comic) book. Movie version Snape is still a full fledged character within all limitations of a movie bringing.

True for Snape but didn't Oldman make a kinda good representation of Sirius Black from the books (at least in HP3, I know he was underused in the sequels comparing to the books) ?

Head Empty 22,557 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I didn't know him when the movie came out but I remember being disappointed by his casting. In the books Sirius is ment to be this feisty, downtrodden but heartwarming character. Not to mention young(ish). But to me Oldman only served deranged and then boring 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 32,745 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I loved Sirius from the books and he was honestly fine. The movies cut out or ignored the depth of the books themselves, so who cares if he didn't read them lol. What does take me out of the fantasy is the horrendous acting of most of the teenager cast, so... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roronoa 6,324 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 He’s kind of right. Movie Sirius did not feel like book Sirius. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic 37,918 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 The character of Sirius was also ruined by the weird age changes they made to the Mauruders + the fact Sirius spent an entire film as a face in a fireplace buy bionic 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djBuffoon 11,642 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Gary Oldman is one of the greatest actors on the planet. But I agree with him. He wasn’t on his usual game with this series. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar, spice, and everything nice. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
River 91,107 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Gay me pictures Sirius as a hot wrecked rusty daddy Je ne parle pas français but I can padam if you like 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monketsharona 44,584 Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 He has always been underused anyway. I mean there's no deep connection with Harry in the movie which makes his reaction to Sirius death quite weird knowing they never developped that relationship that much. On the opposite, Sirius was much much more than just his godfather in books, more like a friend, confidant, someone he had a deep trust relationship. Anyway HP5 & 6 (especially HP6) are a true nightmare for any Harry Potter books lover. So much has been left out or rushed, and some very important stuff. That said I have zero issue with how he played Sirius in HP3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borisapillar 6,594 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 The movies are really quite terrible. I hope the TV show does the books justice despite me hating JK Rowling. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galvon 1,857 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) I think his portrail of Sirius was fine. His casting also makes sense, since most of the adults in the movies were played by actors who were a lot older than the characters in the books were. I wish they released the battle scene with Bellatrix, which was cut from Order of the Phoenix Edited December 30, 2023 by Galvon Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
