W: (9) What did you think about the movie?（女士询问男士关于这部电影的看法，可见他们讨论的是一部电影。）
M: Well…I think Harry Potter Ⅴ is an excellent piece of work. (10) But not as good as the previous ones.（男士认为哈利波特5 不像前几部那样好，也就说比前几部要糟糕。）
W: Really? I don’t agree. I think it was incredible!
M: Why do you think so?
W: Well, one of the most spectacular things about it is the special effects.
M: You’re right. The special effects created so many fantastic settings and mysterious costumes, weapons and creatures. (11) The special effects are the main reason for the success of this movie.（特效是这部电影成功的主要原因。）
W: It’s kind of cool that they still use the themes song for this movie.
M: Yeah! It reminds me of the previous scenes.
W: I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me feel homesick.
M: I thought the overall plot of the movie was very interesting. But I don’t think the character development was that strong. They just don’t have a lot of funny or meaningful dialogues. (12) The writing was a little boring and this may be the only one weakness of this movie.（男士认为作品有点无聊，这可能是电影的唯一缺点。）
W: Well, maybe, but I like the little kid who played young “Anakin Skywalker”. I can’t imagine anyone else playing that role.
M: I like him too. He’s so cute! You know, even though I was slightly disappointed, I can’t wait for the next episode. I wonder when they’re going to start making it and when it’s scheduled for release.
W: I have no idea. But I hope it’ll be even better than this one.
M: I hope so, too.
