Confusing yet Understandable

Rating: 7/10 (14 July 2007)

first off let me say i haven't read this book, so this review is based on what i thought of the story as a movie.
i found some elements of the film very easy to follow and understand. then there were other things that were hardly explained. my friend told me that this movie tell you why Voldemort wanted to kill Harry in the first place, but the movie very lightly touches on that. I had to have my friend explain the whole prophecy and why Voldemort was after Harry.
Really that was my main complaint. I have been told that the prophecy is one of the main points of the book, but it isn't really a part of the film.
Other than that it is a great film. The acting is the best in this one out of all the other films. This one is much darker than the others as well. there is a greenish overtone throughout most of the film which i think they got from the Saw series. This one leaves it open for an amazing sixth film, and from what I know of the sixth book, the sixth movie should prove to be phenomenal compared to the rest.
