incoherent

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 2004)

Sadly I must confess that the newest Potter film was a great disappointment. I expected a lot, especially having read all the praising reviews. I found the film far too incoherent and fragmentary. If I hadn't read the book previously, I would have been totally lost with the "storyline" as the film just sort of jumped from one sequence to another. Not even the highly praised dementours impressed me that much--I expected more and was---disappointed. The book is much better--as it often is the case. As for the actors, the main characters did a pretty good job. Professor Dumbledore, again, was a far cry from his previous self--had the ending been more like in the book, his true character would have been more evident. Maybe the movie would have been better, if it had been a bit longer. In contrast to Spiderman 2--this movie didn't seem TOOO long but managed to hold its grip--even of a critical viewer.
