A real good movie with a few flaws

Rating: 8/10 (22 November 2005)

This was a really good movie. It had lots of action, humor without being to crude and some really good spots to cry like a little girl. It's all well and good to say that the filmmakers had to cut out a lot to shorten it, but the film suffered in many ways. The opening scenes whirl by in minutes and Ron and Hermoine are left out in the cold a little bit. This was a movie I recommend seeing but here are a few potential ruins for loyal Potter fans. 1. Ron and Hermione are secondary characters.
While you would never expect them to be bigger than Harry it seems that this film really does forsake them. The few scenes they had were very short. 2. Dumbledore
With no disrespect to the actor, Dumbledore is far too jittery and uptight in both this film and the last. This is not how Dumbledore is supposed to act. 3. For People who have not read the book
People who didn't read it may find some confusion, especially in the lightning fast opening scenes. "Why are they doing that again?"
On the other hand, here are some things I really enjoyed 1. The Photography and Effects
Nothing short of amazing and stunningly beautiful! 2. The Action
Just like the book, there is never a dull moment! Again the effects for these scenes are marvalous. 3. The lack of violence and sexual humor
Aside from maybe one scene, there is very little crude joking in this movie. The necessarily violent scenes are very easy to stomach. Those of you that puked at "Saving Private Ryan" may even find this easier on the belly! 4. The crying scenes!
I love crying at movies and I certainly did here. The obvious scenes with Cedric Diggory, combined with scenes with Neville, who I think we all love, were enough to have me sobbing at the end of the movie.
I definitely think you should see this. Some people who tell you it is bad are maybe a little too negative.
