Subtle as a brick

Rating: 3/10 (2 June 2019)

Great cinematic beginning, but it's all down hill from there.
Nearly every scene is overwrought.
Emma Watson's hammy breathless line delivery is distracting.
"Control your emotions!" Snape threatens Harry in yet another over the top scene, where of course no-one controls their emotions.
Because emotions are dramatic and exciting and box office baby!
*Every* scene is played for *maximum* impact. There is almost no breathing space to be had in any of it.
Poor old Daniel Radcliffe, whose obvious direction was to _yell_ every line of dialogue and look utterly miserable/enraged.
An exhausting watch.
