Ripoff

Rating: 7/10 (16 July 2007)

i am like the biggest harry Potter fan, and with everyone making a big deal about the movie and having an awesome trailer, i was REALLY looking forward to watching it. However once it started it was like the first 3 chapters in 5 mins. The whole movie revolved around Harry Potter, i mean sure the movie is called Harry Potter, but Ron and Hermione only had like 15 lines in 2hrs and something-minutes. I'm also a huge supporter of Snape, and i've understood that they only give him like 3 lines in the movies, but i was hoping they'd give him some more attention during the Occlumency lesson scene, his memory was like 3 seconds long!! it's the longest book and i know they can't put everything from it or it would be too long, but it was the shortest movie they could have at least put in ONE Quidditch match. A Quidditch match scene would have only been like 10 minutes at most. My favorite Harry Potter movie is still GOF, i was really disappointed, and i'm glad i chose to watch it at a normal theater first before deciding to go IMAX, it's not worth it. However, if you want to go watch it, go right ahead i'm not saying it was THAT bad, but it's not worth spending more than $12 at IMAX, the trailer is more exciting, its like all the action scenes without the boring scenes in-between. The whole thing seemed rush, as if the director was looking forward to finishing.
