what the heck? they save face with number 3 only to right back to crap...

Rating: 1/10 (8 December 2005)

clearly...the vision of a director is key in the interpretation of any film.
harry potter 3 was a clear departure from the prior two, and in my opinion saved the series!
so now that the producers have a good film under their belt, they go right back to the same sticky sweet formula with just a touch of dark edge...and lose everything.
totally changed the book...and it's a pivotal book in the series...how they are gonna cover that in the next film remains to be seen..but they'll need to do so..unless they just wanna change everything.
dumbledore is a buffoon in this one...in number 3 he was quirky at best, but damn..in this one he's just plain befuddled.
and the end, the scene that should have been the most dramatic and drawn out...the rebirth of voldemort, was totally rushed, so they could add a big dragon chace that never happened in the damn book.
anywho....it's a crap movie...just watch number 3 over again and imagine the same director doing a version of number 4...you'll enjoy it more.
