Following my circle's holy practise, my whole group decided to go to catch the newest Harry Potter movie - Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Expecting it to be better than the fifth installment(which was actually terribly directed,when compared to the book), we found that the movie was a tab disappointing, but still worth a watch(as the name Harry Potter suggests,the movie's gonna be something new and interesting). Unconventionally, at the auditorium, we found out that most of the crowd we were surrounded were actually young men and some adults, with ages ranging from 19-36. Some of the kids did come straight to the auditorium just to catch the movie, that high it had been anticipated. The movie had already been pending for a release last Winter, but the producers Warner Brothers Corp. decided to release it only in the season.
I admit what i had heard - the movie's darkest of all the movies that we have seen till date. The movie's less about magic and more about teenage romance, thats what i've got to understood. Seems like Harry Potter finally gets out of the child , and becomes a youmg man.
The movie starts with a scene at the London Underground,where Harry appears at a diner,pondering away at his problems. As the movie progresses, it comes to know that the Dark Lord's been constantly trying to penetrate the Hogwarts. By the end of the movie, Dumbledore gets killed,and Harry's left without any mentor.
I personally find that the movie has a lot of shortcomings. The story's flow isn't quite smooth. Many a links in the story are missing. The direction is not upto the mark, for guys like me who only watch the movie, they get a bit confused over what's happening,and what happened. Seems like the director catered to the length of the movie. I'd rather say that he should have not cared much about the length,but should have added all portions to make it quite enjoyable. I wont find myself in the theatre watching this movie over again,the movie's worth only one watch. I'd rather give it 3 out of 5.
So what do you think, is the movie upto the mark ??
