Amazing visuals, solid acting, thrilling plot and mind blowing wizard action...a movie fan review...

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2007)

First of all I'm one of the few who haven't read the books yet, rather an avid fan of the movies. From the very first HP I've been hooked to following an inspiring, adventurous and magical journey of these magical characters.
The 5th installment doesn't disappoint overall. The plot, cgi's, actors, action, the dark theme and amazing visuals and presentation overall was just as impressive as it's predecessors. Though as a movie fan I had very high expectations specially after the goblet of fire. It was just as impressive yet something was missing. The other 4 left me satisfied, almost like a metaphor for a full circled movie. There were no holes everything was explained at the same time provided immense entertainment.
This one left a little hole, maybe I expected more explanation of all the characters actions, or maybe I wanted to see more wizardry namely more wizard action. Or maybe more development of cho's and Harry's relation. But ultimately the fight sequences were just flawless.
Different director, different projection. A minor flaw, because what really matters is the magic was still there, it was intense and most of all entertaining. Another masterful installment of the brilliant novel. 9/10 - Lets hope this is Yates last endeavor.
