I was really bummed out when this movies release date was pushed back. I have been a Harry Potter fan since the first book was released, and I for the most part have enjoyed all the movies. My only problem with each film is how much they leave out from the book. Don't get me wrong, I know how adapting books into movies work. It is nearly impossible to fit the story into a movie that is not six hours long, so along the way certain things have to be cut. But that doesn't mean I'm not annoyed by it.
With all that said, I really liked this movie. I saw it the second night of its release. I had really high expectations for this film, and was excited to see it. While I was walking out, I was really disappointed in certain areas of the film (For reasons why, re-read the first paragraph), but later I changed my mind. I was really impressed with this as a movie.
I really enjoyed the dark tone of the picture. It looks as if the colors were lightly saturated to give us a cold feeling. The promotional posters of the movie are very true to the look and the feel of the film. Though it wasn't a good adaptation of the book, it was a very good Harry Potter movie.
The acting in the movie was surprisingly amazing. The scene stealing star of this movie is Tom Felton aka Draco Malfoy. The intensity of the character is acted out well. I used to consider Tom a very annoying actor, but after this film I was greatly mistaken. The other actors are great, and are looking much older than they did in 2001.
Overall, this movie is very good. Full of wonderful acting, great scenery, nail-biting suspense, and romance, well kind of. See this movie if you are a Harry Potter fan. This movie really makes us look forward to the last two movies.
"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"
3.5 out of 4 stars
