Not the best movie so far , thankfully not the worst either!

Rating: 6/10 (22 November 2010)

At the outset after watching the movie most people(who've read the book that is) would have asked themselves "what in the world did we just watch" I mean honestly speaking this wasn't really the spectacle that everyone was expecting..but its good in bits and pieces
1)The characterization is better than what you'd expect and thankfully the actors deliver when it matters the most 2)Most of the script is straight from the book not much has been meddled with and hence one can say that it is above par in comparison with the rest of the series 3)The lead actors perform well they have certainly raised the bar and they work well in tandem
However there were areas which were overlooked as a result of which the whole thing dint come out well like 1)The pace of the movie is horrible you might start to wonder if your watching Harry Potter - the movie or the Harry Potter the 100 episode TV Show 2)Some bits are totally out of place-riding a motorcycle amidst muggles, no opening scene between the dursleys and harry, and Harry dancing with Hermione( that was beyond hilarious)
Bottom Line:- Time wasn't a factor this time so you cant give excuses like i couldn't fit it all in as i had to compress 700 pages into 2 and a half hours..could have done a lot better with it the entire production unit haven't seemed to learn much from the earlier movie HBP...
Full Marks to the actors though they saved this one from being a disaster hats off to them for making this visually bearable!
