Average at best

Rating: 5/10 (3 January 2006)

While i did expect them to cut a lot, i did not expect that what they did do would be done wrong. No S.P.E.W, oh well no big deal. But no World Quidditch game (Except the opening and the party after wards, celebrating a victory) thats just pathetic. The Special effects are some of the best i've ever seen. But other than the dragon sequence, they are not used to there full potential. The maze sequence should of been intense but comes out seeming lame, Run away from the attacking plants? lame. While in the book there were fantastic creatures harry had to face in the maze, none were found in the movie version.As said before, this movie is average at best. WB seems to not have been able to find a balance between these movies being entertaining as well as sticking close to the material. Movies one and two were close to the material but boring, movies three and four were entertaining but no where near the original books. Plus they REALLY NEED A NEW DUMBLEDORE. I know that Michael Gambon is one of the greats but he does not make his representation of harry's fatherly figure very, well, fatherly. there is basically no difference between Dumbledores representation, and Snapes. So they need a better Dumbledore.
