Its better than Goblet but by far is still mediocre

Rating: 6/10 (9 July 2007)

Of course harry potter fans will flock to this film but from an Oscars point of view? The Harry Potter films are probably at their best in music (not Goblet though), and special effects. It is always hard to translate from book to movie. The Harry Potter films are nothing to be ectatic about, the first two were at best mediocre. The third was perhaps the most boringst in climax but it made up for that with its style that proved to be more magical and medieval. The fourth was a big mess where it seems very depressive and the magic is somewhat gone. The fifth movie stands somewhere between, it is dark yes, but it has lost all feeling of magic. No Oscar worthy performances here. Everything is solid in this latest film, but it fails to be a phonomenon like Return of the King. I believe the 6th film will have around the same attendance as this film with the 7th probably being a blast. It is still good entertainment though, its better than most films out like Pirates 3 or the heavily overrated Spiderman3. I would rather watch this than The Simpsons movie or transformers (which was very dull and only gains box office from popualrity.)
