It wasn't as good as it should have been.

Rating: 7/10 (13 July 2007)

Once again we packed the theaters once again to watch our good friends Harry, Ron, and Hermione take on yet another year at Hogwarts. The overall performance and outcome of the movie was good, but not up to expectations...or at least mine.The acting was overall well played as Daniel Radcliffe again shows his skill. Emma Watson is growing up nicely, but she puts on a low scale performance and Rupirt in the middle. However, new comer Evanna Lynch shines in her light role as Luna Lovegood. Her ability to have that straight tone voice puts a good laugh in. Moving onto the movie, the movie to me seemed too slow, and only a few action sequences made me feel bored during parts. And EVEN with the intense action sequences seemed low key(not going to spoil). The movie, in my opinion, did not live up to the bar set by the Goblet and the Prisoner. The story line follows maybe about 90% of the book, but like before, it seemed slow. Emma, Daniel, and Rupirt still have that click about them and you can definitely tell there into the movie,maybe a bit too much? OK well off with the bad and to the good. Themovie IS good, don't get me wrong. The colorful cast puts on a show and makes you feel attached to everyone of them. And for bonus points, most if not all are still the same actors and actresses. The CGI images and transitions are steller and I was amazed. So... all in all I think this movie could of and should have been better. In my honest opinion I'd recommend Transformers before this. Transformers is a change of pace and I highly recommend the film. But it was good to see our three main stars in yet another evolution through puberty. Seven out of Ten
