Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
There isn't much to say about this movie. Nevertheless, I felt that I needed to review it quickly, since so many people are saying that this is the best Harry Potter movie so far. . . .
I disagree. They tore out way too much of the storyline, and added in so many random, made-up scenes that as I watched the movie, I started to become really upset. Half the movie is made up of things that didn't even happen in the book. Harry flirting with a waitress and smelling his breath, Bellatrix running through a wheat field, and ton of other things. Horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible! They turned the book into something that the media apparently likes, but which make the book look worse than it is. All the movie is about is girls' nice skin, awkward puberty and first crushes, snogging, dumb jokes, etc. They spend little time on the plot, and at the end, you don't even realize why the movie is called "The Half-Blood Prince" because it was only mentioned for about 30 seconds early on, and then again for 5 seconds at the end. It made you feel like, "Huh? You're WHO, Severus? Oh, yeah, wasn't that the name of this movie? Oh, well." It was so horribly disjointed. . . . Also, Dumbledore's death scene was laughable. It went by so fast, and then the slow-motion fall was hilarious. It looked like Dumbledore decided to go for a swim or something. Uck.
The last scene, where Hermione and Harry talk, and Ron stays silent the entire time, I could really relate to Ron. What is there to say about a book-turned-movie this bad? Well, nothing more, I believe.
Review: This movie sucked almost as bad as Twilight.
2.5 stars.
Note: I may be a little too harsh on this movie. I apologize. I hadn't read the books in a while, and I had high expectations of the movie. It didn't leave me with the feeling I expected.
