How much can we cram into two and half hours?!!!

Rating: 3/10 (5 December 2005)

I found this movie to be a big disappointment. It was very abrupt and staccato in the storyline which made it very hard to follow. The general feel of the movie was not right. In fact, it felt like I was watching a play rather than a movie. None of the characters were developed in this movie. It was WAY too much crammed into 2 hours.
This movie should have been two movies. Perhaps they should have released them a month apart or something. Bummer because I was really looking forward to this movie.
Another problem was that the characters were wrong. Dumbledore seemed to be "out of control" or loosing control. In the books, Dumbledore is always in control or at least up to the last book.
