Harry Potter a disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (11 July 2007)

So many things. Where to begin. With the camera work... most of the time the camera was moving so fast..It would have been so much better if you could have focused on the scenes. It was fine in those fight scenes, but elsewhere, it needed a slower hand at the camera. Maybe a tripod, you know that's what they were invented for. And then the thing about Choe..really...talk about killing an opportunity. The Ministry of Magic was a maze to get to the Hall of Prophecy in the book. But no, BAM ! and we are there! in the movie. What a disappointment. Although I must say I thought they did a great job of showing the way Sirius went into the veil. Although, the death curse was not used in the book, he was knocked into the veil by a lesser curse. The young lady playing Luna was great. Good for whomever chose her. Better explanations were needed for many things in this movie. If you hadn't read the book, you would have been totally lost as to why this or that was happening. There are other frustrating things with this movie but I have vented enough for one night.
