Fantastic film. However, the biggest disappointment was the battle between Harry and Snape at the end. In the book it was epic but man the director really dropped the ball with that one.
Okay, this is a two-part review so bear with me. First - adaptation of original work - RUBBISH! As an adaptation of the original book this is lousy. No depth to characters or their stories. Basically a continuation of the rot that set in with Goblet of Fire - half the story missing in the interests of the length of the film. Really didn't like it from that point of view.
HOWEVER, second - originality of screenplay - intriguingly good. From the get-go using present-day settings for the attack at the start, through to the final discussion at the top of the Astronomy Tower, I thought that it was a clever play on the originals set-ups. Having been 'spoilt' by fanfics that may have been screenplays, I'll admit that I was wary of this film first time of viewing. Second time around, I watched it for what it was, not what it could have been, and enjoyed it. You can see the differences in the screenplay and the book (one written by a male, the other by a female), but it did have it's moments - like Harry and Ginny at the Burrow during Christmas, and Ron and Hermione throughout.
All in all, watch it for what it is and you'll probably enjoy it. Watch it for what it could have been, and forget it.
I wont lie, this was not interesting to watch at all. Boring with nothing new or any intensity within the actors. Long, drawn out and dead. Down with The Half Blood Prince.
omg, best movie and book ever created. BIGGEST FAN RIGHT HERE!!!! WOOOOOOWWWW!! and harry potter is soo much better than twilight and hate them being compared, just putting out a discussion.
no matter how sh*t ppl say it is ppl still end up at the cinema watchin it lol...i think it will b SWEEETTTTTTT v.nice teaser trailer aswel they always get u wanting to c more cant say they hav a reli sh*t 1 yet
i can't wait! i a huge harry potter fan. but i hope the movie is more like the book than the other ones cuz they left out alot of stuff. this one is one of my favorite books and i hope they do a good job making the movie.
cant wait for this 1 should be the best yet :) i hope they keep all the story line there as it is needed so it flows into the 7th book and i think 2 parts for the last 1 is very needed :)
