Great Movie worth watching

Rating: 7/10 (16 July 2007)

I read another review before this and this person seems to have watched a totally different movie, his Harry potter was 3 hrs long....."What The?". I will have to disagree with many people and say that the director failed slightly to capture the book, changing many crucial scenes, especially the ending which left me extremely disappointed. I am not saying that this is not a great movie, I just wish I had not read the book, which was much more intense, terrifying, thrilling and crushing. The effects are great and the acting wonderful although I would have thought that more time would have been spent developing the characters. It is a great movie and the ending although different was well executed and left me wanting to see more. Having been a fan of this movie franchise and also the books it is great to see the development of the actors. It would have been nice if the writers of the screenplay had taken a little more time as i felt it was missing too many crucial moments and at times during the movie It really does seem rushed. If the writers and director had put a little more thought into this movie it could have been a classic, but alas you cant have everything.
