Just saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Frankly, it was rubbish.
I mean, they cut out everything that explained anything. Clearly, they're not concerned about making a coherent movie anymore. They just want to throw fancy special effects at us and collect our money.
I'm not complaining about removal of scenes I liked, mind you (although that hapened too, a bit). I'm complaining about the fact that had I not read the book, I wouldn't have understood half it.
Sure, the source material isn't Dostoyevsky, but if you're going to put so much money into making a movie, you could at least make sure it comes out halfway decent.
That being said, I think Alan Rickman and Helena Bonham Carter were both amazing in this movie. I'm sure Maggie Smith would've been, too, had she been on screen for more than half a second at a time.
