Not bad

Rating: 4/10 (25 July 2007)

This film was alright.
I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan, but it's probably the best of the 5 out so far.
There was some pretty good cinematography involved in this. Quite impressive on occasions. I especially liked it where the camera backs up through a pain of glass, and pans down to scene. (look out for that)
The whole thing was acted well. Daniel Radcliffe is very convincing. Harry Potter seems much less geeky than he did in the first film.
The visuals are quite nice. There are some very good special effects throughout the film, including make up, and CGI.
The actual story wasn't excellent, it was a bit boring and uneventful. So I imagine the book isn't too great. There were some quite funny moments along the way, but nothing particularly interesting.
Overall, the film was not brilliant. I went to see this with my Girl friend, something i'd suggest. It's quite a nice film to watch together, especially in the cinema. There's a part where Harry kisses a girl, as the camera pans up to the mistletoe above their heads. At this point the entire audience is under the mistletoe. A little crowd pleaser thrown in there.
I would recommend this film, however, you'd probably be quite board on your own. The experience contributed a lot to it.
