A Disappointment.

Rating: 6/10 (14 July 2007)

I found the fifth movie to be a rather disappointment to watch. The screenplay, as highly predicted, well that is, from myself (due to the change in the screenwriter) is VERY inconsistent with the other movies. The new style of story-telling Harry Potter's journeys are very different. This particular film did not display the magic as I anticipated. I was actually quite bored in the theater for many parts of the film. There were too many silent moments and way too much dialog.
The soundtrack was another thing. The same tracks were playing over and over again.
I am a die-hard Harry Potter Fan of BOTH the books and the films. I just can't wait to see the return of the screenwriter and music composer for the sixth movie. Thank Heavens!!!!!!
TOO much of UNIMPORTANT stuff was taken out of the book-too many unimportant scenes, irrelevant to the main plot were shown (i.e, Sirius's Family Tree). Hermoine and Ron being prefects are VERY important to the main plot as it further shows how Harry is avoided by Dumbledore, AS WELL as the very important scene of Harry seeing Snape's memory!!! TOO SHORT!
This movie was more of actually bringing a few scenes of the book come to life as to making it an actual movie.
(though I may say that the last 20 minutes, were quite impressive...IMAX 3-D. wow. but still...)
