Great Special Effects

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2005)

Possibly spoilers - But more of a warning....
Personally, I would say this movie compares to the first in being one of the best HP movies. As far as special effects it takes the cake. I will spoil no more, just that small children may not be a consideration for those thoughtful parents. There are some deaths and some very rough curses (so be warned). The movie itself was entertaining from the start. I gave it a 10, or at least a 9 1/2 for HP movies. For all movies combined I have other favorites so I would say it surely would hit a 8 in my book.... Even remote HP fans should watch this movie. Specially if you disliked #3 or any of the others. This movie should redeem those particular Harry Potter fans. It always gets to me that Richard Harris died, and Michael Gambon took over. I never real thought it was a good choice. But he does play a very good Dumbledor. Granted as most know, Dumbledore in the books seems a little more caring than Gambon can pull off. Anyhow, enough ranting. I have a Home Theater setup with a 120" screen. I rarely go out to see movies. But this is one that I could recommend, to actually get out of the house and watch at a theater. Bare in mind that a THX Certified theater is where it should be watched.
