Lacks coherence and direction: least of the Potter movies

Rating: Null/10 (5 December 2004)

I've never read any of the Potter books (yet). I enjoyed the first two movies but was disappointed by the last. The only thing I enjoyed about this one was the music really.
Storyline lacked coherence & direction. Sometimes confusing and even irritating, at least for someone who hasn't read the book. After the movie the story left a very thin impression, like there was no "meat" to the story.
Acting was extremely uninspiring; maybe the directors fault, I thought it was fine in the first two installments.
Special fx were OK but nothing "special" by todays standards. Hire the guys that did "Lord of the Rings" for the next one..
I don't regret the time/money spent on the movie but I had higher expectations for this movie. Luckily I heard the next one will be made by another director..
