The movie is a BIG disappointment...

Rating: Null/10 (5 June 2004)

I've been so excited to see this movie. I was so excited. From about 5 minutes into the movie until the credit roll, i had my mouth open, and a look of shock on my face. This movie could have been great, but instead, this director with a total lack of talent butchered one of the better Potter stories. Its understandable that pieces will have to be cut out, but this was just terribly done. It was like he didn't even read the story, he just wanted to show everyone that he knows how to use special effects and different camera angles. From the very start, important pieces of the plot of the story were missing, and in their place were shaky-shots (which were intended to be shaky, but looked terrible nonetheless) and attempted uses of dramatic effects. This movie had absolutely NO continuity with the last two movies whatsoever. It appeared that it wasn't even attempted. The movie lost a lot of its "magical" feel with the lack of proper costume, owing again, to the lack of continuity. So, the movie is here, we all waited for it with great excitement and anticipation, and it was a total disappointment. I guess the only good thing to look forward to in the next movie of the series is that they changed directors.. thank goodness. *PLEASE make the next movie(s) follow the path of the first two... please!!*
