Dumbledore Train Wreck

Rating: 6/10 (19 November 2005)

Yes, I liked the special effects. Yes, I liked the improvement in skill of the actors. However, the director needs to be slapped around for allowing the Dumbledore character to be completely misrepresented. He is supposed to be a calm, level, even-tempered "rock" for Harry in his times of trouble. This character needs meds. How very disappointing. I took my 12 and 13 year-old children to see the movie tonight and none of us were happy with the film. Of course, HP fans will need to see it. However, we all believe that it lacked depth, went WAY too fast through important background material, and neglected the sub-plots beyond forgiveness. In summary, we were all disappointed in the film.
