Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince


This is by far the best Harry Potter film in terms of film making style, and it makes the film 100 times better than it actually is. Unfortunately this film is a very talky one and there isn't really a lot of action in it. If it weren't for a couple of extra scenes that were added into the film (which weren't in the book) then it would have been quite dull. However, thankfully these scenes helped to but a bit more action in the film, which it still could have done with more of, but then the film is obviously restricted by the book.

There was a slight problem I had with the script and that was the way the film revealed who the Half-Blood Prince was. It seemed as though it was just an after thought, as though they'd reached 145 minutes into the film and realised they hadn't a lot of time left. Nevertheless, this is me just nit picking and I thoroughly enjoyed the film.

If you go and see this one then I would recommend watching at least Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix before hand because this film almost carries straight on from it, and it helps to introduce some of the characters which you might not know if you haven't seen them in Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix.

The acting in this film is much better than the previous films, and those who said Daniel Radcliffe couldn't act, have to admit that he has improved a lot. He might not be the greatest actor in the world, but he was a lot better in this than Christian Bale was in Terminator Salvation. I think he did quite a good job.

The visual effects aren't even worth mentioning, because they're so good.

The music was amazing and really took the film to another level. I can see why David Yates brought Nicholas Hooper with him when he signed on to directed Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix.

I think it is safe to say that the next two Harry Potter films are in safe hands. David Yates has more style in this film than Tarantino himself.
