Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

After seeing the trailer of the Half Blood Prince, I was pretty pumped to watch the movie. Having not read any of the books before, I had no expectations of the film story wise. But what the trailer did make me expect was action and plenty of conflict! And what do I get? A film full of unnecessary sub plots and an ending that left me unsatisfied. “I ain’t going with you, you’re not the real James May” This film felt like a filler film, a build up to the ending of the Harry Potter Saga… but in movie terms, this film just did not flow well. “I’m in the 6th movie and only now do I get some flying footy action” The actors have improved as they’ve gone from one film to the next, but this film, there was not enough for them to work with. I liked how Harry is becoming a bit cocky with him being “The One” but overall in the movie he is a whiny lost boy… sorta like James Bond? The main time he gets to shine is when he drinks the lucky juice. “Deus Ex Machina are my best friend. With the lucky juice and this book I found, no one can stop me!” To cut the film some slack, I did miss the first 15 minutes. I guess that had the scene of witches on broomsticks terrorizing London. The moment when I walked into the film was when Snape was with the two women: “Hold my hand, I’m cold” The ending of the film really left me unsatisfied. Dumbledore is meant to be the most powerful wizard, even more powerful than the one that shall not be named, well, according to Harry. But in the end, he didn’t do anything! FAIL “Get ready, later on, I’m going to be senile and we’ll pwn lotsa Golems.” In the end, this film had some hits and misses, but still was enjoyable. As I said before, there are multiple subplots, especially a lot of relationship stuff. You know, when kids are about 15-16, their below gets tingly. Actually, I think Dumbledore did say something about jizzing in the film? If you’re a Harry fan, you’ll like this film. Believe me, I had a fan watching it with me. If you’re not, you might think that you got jibbed but in the end, I’m pretty sure the 7th film (part 1 and 2) will end it with a KAZAAAM! “Evening closing your eyes won’t make this film as good as the previous one”
