Same Old, Same Old..

Rating: 1/10 (19 November 2005)

This was the first full Harry Potter movie that I've seen. Honestly.. I was bored, tired, and unfulfilled..
This movie was just random goofy names (from characters to potions), and endless banter about some "legendary" tournament.
Not much happened at all except what you knew was going to happen. Potter got picked for the tourney.. no way? really? The "good guy" was really the "bad guy". I figured that one out just before the Superman preview..
The acting was okay. Average at best. You cannot expect much from generic actors though, so I didn't.
This series has to be beat by now. I've seen this movie 15 times in the last 10 years, just with different titles and characters.. oh yea, and a more mature audience..
Throughout the movie were little pieces of special effects.. from a blue flame on a cup, to a tiny beam coming from a little wooden wand.. Although most effects were underly impressive, some were nice.
The only real action in the whole movie was Potter having the same "battle of magic beams" that was in Star Wars Episide III. Only this time it ended with Potters mom telling him to stop.
I did find parts of this movie humorous, although, I cannot say whether it was from sheer boredom and winning bets with myself as to what came next, or if it actually had decent comic relief..
This movie received a 3/10 from me, the 3 is high, only for the few laughs I did get and some decent effects.
Sorry to all of you bandwagon fans out there, but I hope this series dies with Beanie Babies and Tickle-Me-Elmo.
