This movie was awful

Rating: 4/10 (11 June 2004)

I liked the first two potter movies. They had poor acting from the kids, and mediocre plots, but they were visually entertaining and there was a silly adventure that you could follow and be entertained by. This movie was terrible. The child actors are better now, however, considering the depths of badness they started from their new levels are nowhere near "good". The movie was visually interesting with the fades, but otherwise had lost it's "magical" appearance that was so appealing in the other movies. I can honestly say that there wasn't a single moment in this film that I wasn't bored or wondering when it will all end. Finally, the plot can be summarized in one word: pointless. What is really bad is that movie franchizes like this will make money no matter what. We're all going to go see it regardless and it will send all the wrong messages to the producers and studio. If you are a purist and have more self-control than I did, don't go see this movie, make a statement! :)
