Worst movie ever

Rating: 1/10 (21 November 2010)

I saw this movie yesterday, because my wife dragged me there. Yes, my expectations were not high to begin with, but I have been dragged to other movies before, including the first Harry Potter movie, so I thought I knew what to expect.
It was MUCH worse though. Obviously, this movie is nothing but an effort to milk as much money out of the Harry Potter franchise before the author finally runs out of ideas and the actors become too old.
What other reason could there be to make a 2.5hrs movie with absolutely no story whatsoever? I thought its based on a book with hundreds and hundreds of pages, or is there no story in that either? There is absolutely nothing happening in that movie, and if you haven't read the books you are pretty clueless about everything anyway. They keep teleporting around between the magical world and remote spots in the real world like mountain tops and woods. In fact a lot of the movie looks like three kids on a camping trip with Hermione reading books all the time and coming up with "clues" for their quests.
In the end they find a sword and destroy some locket that gives the wearer the blues. Big Whoop.
The last similar movie I was dragged to was the Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. I wasn't super fascinated about that either, but there was a story to follow, the fantasy world its set in was accessible, even if you hadn't read the book, there were things you could relate to and characters you could like.
There is nothing like that in this Harry Potter movie. No story. No character development.No movie. Just a waste of time.
