It’s just not fair to go through so many disappointments in one week. It’s not but I guess that’s inevitable.
So, I finally saw Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince last night. It was OK. I liked it but…ok, I have to be honest here….I really didn’t like it. I still feel the need to watch a Harry Potter movie. This one left me wanting more and I didn’t get that, unfortunately. It’s sad because my family and I are HUGE fans and the only one that really enjoyed it was my 12 year old son. I wanted more action, more spells and more action (yes, I know I said that already).
To say the least, it was kind of boring. Oh man, I can’t believe I said a Harry Potter movie was boring! Sorry, but I have to honest.
I did enjoy something. The ONLY thing I did enjoy was the scenery. Hogwart’s is a very beautiful place. The whole area is breathtaking and looks very serene. Sometimes I wish I can go back into time and go to a school like that (as if that even exists, lol).
As always, I tend to read reviews of movies that I want to see. The reviews were so positive. So that made us even more excited to see it because they either gave the movie an A or a B. I really don’t understand what happened to this movie.
Or maybe it’s just us.
We’re the only ones that didn’t really take in the full effect of all the “rage and hormones” between Ron Weasley, Harry Potter and their “little flings”. Maybe I’m being too opinionated. All I know is this….I wanted more from this last movie. The Order of The Phoenix was so good and full of action that I automatically thought The Half-Blood Prince would’ve been as good.
I can honestly say that this movie will not be seen as often as the other ones. I may not even buy the DVD. Who knows. It’s hard to say.
I REALLY hope the next one is better than this one.
Anyway, you don’t have to go by my review. This is my opinion. If you’re a Harry Potter fan like me, you may have a different view on this movie. You might even like it.
So please, go and see it if it’s on your must-see list and have a good time.
After you see the movie, drop by and let me know what you thought of the movie. I would love to know what your thoughts are and I also love to read comments 🙂
WOW, I kind of had that same feeling. I’m getting ready to go to dinner with DH and 2 of the kids that are dying to see the movie. Me, I’m not so excited as I was with the last several HP movies. Oh well, I still HAVE to go! Thanks for the heads up!
You’re welcome. And if you have a different opinion, PLEASE feel free to share 🙂
Thanks and have fun!
Other people have saved me $10 by warning me I would probably hate the movie (even though I’m a creepy obsessed Potter fan).
I’ll definitely put it in my Netflix queue, but I’ll save myself some dough now.
The original movie always seem to make the succeeding ones pale in comparison. I guess you’ll always get that in any movie. I’ll still see it in spite. I want to see how I react to it 🙂
My boys went with their uncle and they all gave it a thumbs down too! The boys said the same thing you did that there was too much talking and not enough action. After reading your review and hearing their take on it, I’m glad I missed it LOL
I’m glad we’re not the only ones feeling that way. After reading all of the great reviews, i was sure it was going to be great…NOT!! LOL
I must agree with you NY Chica, I was very disappointed by the movie as well. It had no action, no nothing, I was left with so many questions in the end!
