Sadly disappointed

Rating: 3/10 (11 July 2007)

The only reason I gave it any stars were from the casting, and Umbridge. She did her part well, which means I loathe the woman! I have been raised within the film industry and this film was abysmal! Even if you were not expecting something from a book, the whole film was disjointed and did not flow from scene to scene. It bounced around and was extremely confusing. I know the content of the film is darker, but that does not mean you need to make it seem like a black and white film.
Where was the small connection with his aunt and what about his line when Voldermort take Harry over. He says something to the effect of "please Dumbledore, kill me anything is better that this." Come on! Voldermort is terrified of death and that was the whole point, it brought about the love that Harry is so full of. Question, where did they spend $150 million? With that amount they could have made it longer (which I will venture to say most fans would have loved), and for good heavens, pieced the scenes together a bit better.
They need to move towards how the fist two films were made. The gave the feeling of the true Harry Potter. I thought the PoA was the worst, but this tops that by far.
