Re: What are some of the most useless scenes in movies?

The fucking drawn-out dragon-chase scene in the First Task of the movie version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Like, seriously, what the fuck. That scene literally had NOTHING to do with the plot. All it did was bring everything to a screeching halt for absolutely no reason. In fact, it was so superfluous to the plot that JKR made the entire point of that scene be "omg, the waiting was 1000000x more stressful than the actual task" and had Harry grab the egg in about half a page. "Padding" is too good a word to describe the sheer useless laziness of that scene.

To be honest, I think a lot of useless things were added to the movie, and stuff that would actually be HELPFUL to the plot was removed.

I think they should have explained what a Portkey was, even if briefly.

I think if they were going to bring everyone to the World Cup, then they should have shown some of the damn game.

The waiting scene/dragon task you mentioned? Showing little flashes of what the others had to do would've been better than just having Harry wait around.

And all the overacting. Jesus. From all the kids, but especially from Hermione.

I blame the director. It's like he didn't give a shit what made the Harry Potter series the Harry Potter series.
