Best of the 5 "Potter" movies so far

Rating: 9/10 (4 September 2007)

I saw this movie yesterday and I have to say, it was the best of the five Harry Potter movies they've made so far. True, things were cut out of the movie that were in the book, but how would YOU adapt a 700-ish page novel into a movie? You only have room for about half of the stuff in there. I saw the movie in I-Max, but you only wear the 3-D glasses for the last 20 minutes. And those last 20 minutes absolutely blew my mind. Special effects galore, explosions, magic... this movie probably had more special effects than any of the other Potter movies, possibly two Potter movies combined. But it wasn't all about the eye-candy; the acting was superb, the storyline seemed to flow very smoothly, and Dolores Umbridge and her antics had me cracking up. There was one part (not going to say which) that was poorly explained, but it wasn't enough to "disenchant" me. Go see it, you'll like it. 9/10.
