Good but confusing

Rating: 6/10 (30 July 2007)

First the good: This movie had great special effects, especially the fight scene at the end with Dumbledoor and Voldemort. I also liked most of the performances, especially some of the newer characters (Delores and Luna).
Overall, however, the story was hard to follow. Very choppy.
Sirius Black's death was done so poorly it was practically anti-climactic. Without reading the book, you would have had a hard time telling what was really happening.
This movie kind of felt like it was just a transition - just filling some space between 4 and 6. Not on par with the other HP films.
