    Connection with the book was way off

    Summary: I thought this movie was fine, but it certainly didn't thrill me the whole way through. As I watched, I had many moments of sheer confusion when I wondered why they would think that a certain scene was necessary. For example, when they set the Weasley's ... read more

    Pros: Worth the money the first time.
    Cons: Starts out very slow but not to worry it will pick up.

  • Not the best Potter

    Aug 18 '09
    Pros: Good acting, more detail about voldermort.
    Cons: Slower pace, not as action packed.

  • Hogwarts is a Hotbed of Snogging in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

    Jul 29 '09
    Pros: Fine script and acting, finally a more character driven storyline
    Cons: Typical Harry Potter plot issues

    Summary: Let me say right off the bat, I've read the Harry Potter books, but I'm no kind of Harry Potter purist.  While I think the books are enjoyable in and of themselves, they aren't exactly cinematic, in a pure sense.  They are ungodly ... read more

    Jul 28 '09
    Pros: All-out intensity from start to finish
    Cons: One, very minor

    Summary: This is only the second "Harry Potter" movie I have ever reviewed, which given my conclusions is a tremendous oversight.  The first was Chamber of Secrets seven years ago.  The ... read more

  • Lots of wrapping but not much candy

    Jul 27 '09
    Pros: Top notch special effects, very high production values all around.
    Cons: Not much of a solid story.

    Summary: HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE (2009) is available in a 3-D version - I didn't see that and maybe I should, the 3-D effect might have compensated for what I think are the film's weaknesses. To be blunt, this review (and other reviews ... read more

  • "He's covered in blood again. Why is it he's always covered in blood?"

    Jul 25 '09
    Pros: the actors, especially Tom Felton, the cinematography and effects
    Cons: neglected characters, exists mainly to set up part 7

    Summary: As the Harry Potter movies go on, it seems one really has to have read the book or seen the previous big-screen installments to fully comprehend what's going on. That is definitely the case with this summer's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood ... read more
