To start off, I really enjoyed this new Potter flick. A surprise in fact. Normally I would scoff at this kind of films but it did manage to pull me in albeit a few flaws. As the image would suggest above, Harry and his friends have grown and the film never relents to explore it. The film reeked of teen romance. Which is kind of a FUCKING problem with me.The movie picks up after the fifth which picked up from the fourth which picked up from the third which sdkjbnsdkvjbfsd. Plot in basic sense. Voldermort getting more powerful. Harry and gang growing older. Romance. Draco becoming more emo. Romance. Half Blood Prince mystery. Bromance. Destroy Voldermort's lifeline stuff. Orgy. The romance was used as a side platter to fill in more time into the movie. And fill in it does with tons of sexcapades. However, I will note that it was kind of funny (some) but that does not mean I like romantic comedies (which I relate as anal retentive). Don't forget to catch the orgy after the credits. Great fun, that.
You may be one of them Potter fans that will point out the differences between the book and movie but you have to understand. The book sucked. You know it, I know it, so watch the fucking movie. David Yates creates his own direction into the plot forgoing most of the happenings present in the book. I quit after the fifth book. J.K. Rowling can get disemboweled for all I care.
As you might probably find out from Urkel, the movie is darker with a sense of druid clouding behind the meta frame. Dark, whimper, whimper. Hopelessness. Slytherin would be the epitome of goth and emo. It would be EMOTH!
The dark feel of the movie was brighten by the clever humour and the brilliant performances by the cast. Radcliffe and gang felt more comfortable doing their thing along with Rickman's one liners. Look out for stand out performances by Frank Dillane (left) as the teenager Voldermort and Jim Broadbent (right) as Horace Slughorn.
Frank Dillane provides a chilling performance as a young sadistic Voldermort and plays the role in overdrive, being quite natural in his role. Jim Broadbent who I recently saw in Hot Fuzz plays a character that prefers to surround himself with the life of other aspiring young leaders presenting an open attitude with a flair of clumsiness in his nature while also harbouring guilt about his past with Voldermort. Favourite scene would be when Horace talks about the gift he received from Harry's mom. Loved it.
As for the visual effects, they were stunning and beautiful especially the scene when Gandalf, I mean Merlin, I mean Dumbledore pwned the little undead fuckers with a little flamethrower spell. Also worth mentioning whould be the Quidditch play-off which were great proving Yates worth. Actual footage of the Quidditch game from Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince below.
To end this review, I would give Harry Potter a 7.5/10. Still better is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Basilisks rulez!
Positives: Superb acting, Plot's okay, David Yate's directing, Visual effects
Negatives: Too much teen romance, No nudity (Emma Watson), No profanity
