Same old, same old.......

Rating: Null/10 (17 July 2007)

Went to see this only because my girlfriend is a MASSIVE Harry Potter fan, and thats the only reason that I would go and see this to be honest.
I find the whole Harry Potter franchise a mystery, there is nothing about it thats stands-out to me as anything special. The films always are very well made, but lack something that I can never quite put my finger on.
This one is EXACTLY the same as the four previous movies and I suspect it will be very similar to the next two instalments. to summarise-
Harry Potter is tormented with darkness. How much more darkness and torment..... Well probably 2 more movies worth.
Harry Potter will at the end meet his destiny in the form of the vordamorry evil guy, but will always survive that, but never defeat the guy.
Its getting very old already in my opinion, to the film credit though, its extremely well made. The direction is pretty good, the script has OK dialogue and the majority of the actors (which there are many) perform well. I find Daniel Ratcliffe rather wooden though, but his other two buddy's (Emma Watson and Rupert Grint )are always played well and are very entertaining to watch.
Overall I thing this movie is pretty poor. Every movie in the franchise always is full of very inventive idea's, its just a shame the main structure of the film are pretty much always the same.
