Not up to par

Rating: 5/10 (26 June 2004)

I have seen all the movies and read all of the books at this point. I have no problem with the movie being dark, but I feel that they did the book a huge injustice. Not only did they leave out some crucial scenes, but there was no continuity and the movie was choppy. I did enjoy the FX and the dementors were very good. The movie itself was , in my opinion, too short. Also, I believe the characters have done an excellent job as they are growing up. David Thewlis did an exceptional performance as Prof. Lupin, but I did have a problem with a bald-headed werewolf. The best I can give this movie in all honesty is a "C" and that was because of Thewlis. I hope they can do a better job with GOF.
