Here we go again

Rating: 5/10 (17 November 2016)

As I said, here we go again..
Don't need to explain much about the title..if you don't know now you never will.
Standard Potter for die hard fans I suppose but as a regular movie goer i have a few reservations.
One is the lead..In my opinion he brings nothing to the role..yes..hes OK and somewhat carries it off but he brings nothing to a 1 dimensional roll..
Two is it never ever felt at all like a like a Potter movie..never had that slightly fresh and naive feel..felt too polished..and that brings me on to the next point..
For the point above it seems to me it has been " Americanised" ! For me Potter worked due to its English background..I don't think the American audience will really get Potter. Nothing wrong there though..it has a lot of money behind it and has been written and produced for the American audience ..it has a feeling of an episode in a long line..reminded me a bit like Suicide Squad in many ways. Too much money spent on this .
A great British tradition hi-jacked again by the big money men..would have liked a bit more daftness . Saw it in 3D but that brought nothing..as with Redmayne. I am probably the minority but there you go,,and thats my opinion.
Gave it a 5 ..no more no less!!
