Harry Potter and the worst movie ever!.

Rating: 2/10 (16 July 2007)

I'm sorry, but this movie reeked of poor craftsmen ship from the start. I went in to this believing a darker take would bring new material or possibilities to the forefront, but all I kept thinking was why is nothing happening. Constant repetition of irrelevant plot points driving home that they are at a school of magic. Nothing new was created or expounded upon. I just kept thinking is something interesting going to happen. Then I remembered that the author was a hack and basically ripped off things from Tolkien, so I didn't feel so bad. I remembered that she cranked out books for profit and not artistic merit or value. The filmmakers created their own mess with erratic cutting and jumpy plot shifts. Then I checked the no-name director with unheard of credits and realized again this is all of money and the masses are ignorant enough to feed the beast. Harry Potter is the easily digestible knock off hack bus. Everyone that gets on knows no better because they are either below the age of 12 or completely uncultured and without pedigree. I found this movie completely boring and I went into believing it would be entertaining. Boy, was I wrong. What garbage.
