Corniest so far

Rating: 4/10 (18 November 2005)

I saw the movie yesterday at 6:20. The books get progressively darker. The movies do not. Too much was cut. The plot was all but missing. If I hadn't read the book I know I would not have followed the story. It's not a complete waste of time but it could have been done so much better. Basically a let down. The new Dumbledore comes off as more crazy than an eccentric genius. He is supposed to be the only person who Voldemort ever feared you're left wondering why? The plot was also not really resolved it just ended. I think one of the problems was that the people who are making the movies are still trying to target the younger audience but their audience is first off getting older and second these are not children's books. Rowling has said repeatedly that these are not children's books. The movies should reflect this. With more content the problems with the movie could have been fixed.
