Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince


It was eight long years since the first Harry Potter series was on the big screen, and although the hardcore fans are always so engaged as never before, it is difficult to say that this is also the magic and the admiration for the rest rest of us. There are not many other franchise (if any) which have too many slices in a short time, but as the race for Warner Brothers films before discarding about their characters, which are clearly meeting the exhaustion is the cause of their minds.

In fact, the formula of the type of stories that begin to thin for me. I can not say with certainty whether JK Rowling is to blame, because I do not really read the books, but I liked the first of many films, and in this moment they are all in the blur in my mind. The only thing that interests me the situation is the fact that there is a brief insight into the epic confrontation with Voldemort at the end of everything. My hope is that this sixth episode finally no longer to pedal Wacky intrigue secondary meaning to the teachers and the development of the main story arc. In this sense, it only partially.

Collection of the intense end of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the story of Harry and the Death Eaters and Voldemort increasingly strengths. Horace Slughorn Dumbledore convinced teachers to retire back to Hogwarts, but with ulterior motives: he already has a student named Tom Riddle, told a young Voldemort. Dumbledore tries to memories associated with the big V to determine how he managed to immortality. During this time, Professor Snape is the desire to help Draco Malfoy a task for the Lord of Darkness, and how Ron and Hermione ... Well, they are simply taste the joys of youth.

One of the most remarkable about this film is that more than soap into flakes and the romantic elements of opera, one of the earlier films. I suppose it must be expected, since more and more children, but it feels like the state of people in a few years' delay after casting his first, now almost twenty years. How is this kind of thing is pretty goofy and childlike. Some of them are really funny and charming, but not intentionally so, it's just funny and awkward. Half-Blood Prince finally into the heart slightly strange territory much more often than I thought it was what seems given the fact that these stories should gradually darker. But I think the biggest problem is that the relationship of theater really far too much time and offers few surprises, or the development of character.
The best thing about this episode is that the first is at 100% to Voldemort. Yes, there is another new teacher with a secret, but it is very important for the whole plot, and the true evil in order to attend at the beginning of the movie. The flash-backs to Voldemort as a young assistant convincing and strange, but there are a little too rare. In addition to a confrontation with Death Eaters in the Weasley residence there is not much at this video to the finals - and even the finale feels a little underwhelming. As I understand it is not a big battle, because (surprise), a similar battle going on in the next book. Go figure.

Every time there as a step of Harry Potter could be a little different, then returned to the input field. Beginning of the film there is an exciting sense of black magic begins to bleed, the more in the real world, as the example of a Death Eater attack on the Millennium Bridge in London. Somewhere, when I like, That is a huge disappointment for the settlement of returning to Hogwarts Quidditch games and watch the meeting through potion classes. We already know that Harry is the "chosen" ... It is really more than what they learn in school? To be fair there was not a lot of sweets or funny eccentrics, this time, but it seems that each character has to do symbolically appear, and few changes in Hogwarts itself

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by David Yates, who was also the latest film out and handling the two parts of the death and Hallows. Visually, I like his style and the cinematography by Bruno Delbonnel (Amelie, Across the Universe) makes it quite possibly the best movie of Harry Potter at this time. The performances are solid, especially the addition of Jim Broadbent plays the bumbling as Professor Slughorn and victim blame. It is difficult to criticize the film from a technical perspective, but ... They make the people so that, on the right of the screen? Then again, maybe that option if you have many avid readers, their encyclopaedic knowledge and enthusiasm for hard in the table.

It seems that every time a new Harry Potter film, is the answer to every call for the best time ... But as so often in the end be? Although I am not the only one that has the magic to wear for a certain time. Standout there are some scenes that show that the potential of this tax has, but if you have two hours for the stuffing, it is very difficult to recommend the film (for non - readers, at least). In every respect, it seems, than the final film is certainly the best, but with the decision, in two parts, we must deal with another snoozefest where nothing really happens? All I know is that the finale more worthwhile to wait to learn because it is fairly laborious damn.
