Not great...

Rating: 5/10 (26 October 2011)

The film focuses heavily on Potter's methods of survival and his noticeably deteriorating psyche. When he is not preoccupied with seeking basic necessities, Potter works in his basement lab attempting to develop his magical skills. Radcliff does a superb job of portraying Harry Potter's solitary character, who everyday is searching for solutions to the problems in his future as well as the future of mankind. Radcliffe's acting is the highlight of the film and is really the driving force that could have actually made this film legendary.
Now for the bad stuff.
This Harry Poter is severely hindered by its sub-par screenplay. The first 1/3 to 1/2 of the film is a joy to watch, but suddenly holes and diversions become extremely visible.
The climax of the film is very rushed and the ending was typical clichéd nonsense. Pointless philosophical overtones and dialogue are added to try and create a moral- based story, but just turn into fodder that is annoying to have to listen to. Finally, the special effects look more like sci-fi monsters than actual mutated and deranged beings and are not present nearly enough until the end of the film.
