Middle of the Pack??

Rating: 7/10 (6 November 2018)

This film feels more like a collage of scenes, a series of puzzle pieces, thrown at the viewers faster than they can piece together, just leading up to a final confrontation. Pacing is a big issue, leaving fans feeling disjointed, and those new to the series confused as to what exactly is going on. As a Hollywood film, it deserves praise, bringing this amazing world to the big screen, telling a compelling tale, and keeping the viewers glued to their seats for the duration of the movie. Overall the continuity of the film felt too rushed and disjointed, as opposed to the more fluid Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of fire. Relationships between the characters felt forced, which I found odd, considering the fact that the cast has been working together for 7 years or so. There were numerous plot-holes which ruin the film for me as well. Despite the flaws, i find this film quite compelling and a pretty good film, and i believe that without the books, this film would have been heralded as a masterpiece. Many critics don't like this film because its not "accurate" to the books. As someone who doesn't care about that, i believe the film is a good one deserves to sit in the middle of the pack for me.
