Harry potter with guns

Rating: 4/10 (11 August 2014)

Utter rubbish with that Hollywood veneer that tries to make the film look more thought provoking than it is. The initial faction sorting reminds me of the sorting hat scene from the first Harry Potter movie. Indeed, I wonder if JK Rowling should sue for royalties. The acting of the lead characters is also as dire as the kids acting in Harry Potter, and Kate Winslett just goes through the motions to earn a pay check.
The film ends in an equivocal way with one of those annoying voice overs that is supposed to make you leave the cinema thinking you have just watched something deep and meaningful. You haven't. This is just a Hollywood formulaic shoot em up movie aimed at kids and I regret wasting 2+ hours of my time watching it.
