I was left flat...

Rating: 3/10 (24 August 2007)

--------Read this at your own peril------------------------ It could have been that my expectations were too high. It might have been that there was nothing new...oh sure, maybe a new face here and there, but the core formula is the same. Or maybe, just maybe it was that these characters...Harry, Ron, Hermine, et al, were no longer fresh in their respective roles...just going through the motions of an overly used, overly familiar formula.
On the bright side, there are thousands if not millions who do not agree with my view of the film, i.e., some in my very own family. In fact when they defend the movie it is wickedly similar to family members defending their brood without the least bit admitting there is the possibility, however remote, that the accused could be even the tiniest bit at fault. Ah such is love...that it can cover a multitude of sins.
