So I got a chance to see the new Harry Potter movie last night. I actually haven't seen the last two films, but it was a really good film. In terms of story, It was intriguing. As you would guess its not much of a jump into it without prior knowledge kinda movie, but if you have a fourth of a brain you could probably get the gist. The film's cinematography was brilliant. Scenes where Harry's silhouette fades in with the background making it look like a Harry Potter fan's geekgasm desktop, to Dumbledore's memory scene's. The film was made to look darker and more dramatic, and it worked great. Scene's of Tom Riddle as a kid blew my mind.
The action was great. I'm glad it wasn't an action porn like Transformers, but not a borefest like other summer films tend to be. Again, for the action, the effects are awesome. Small fight scenes to action moments like running through a corn field is fast, loud, and extremely entertaining like a movie should be. Even the quiditch try-outs were great.
Another thing about Harry Potter movies is the score. The first three films had an amazing score and this one did not disappoint. It was a very well placed, and as far as i can tell was flawless. The only bad thing i had to say was there could have been an ending. I know it was a book, but i dont really read Harry Potter books, so i can careless about the readers feelings. Cut it off at a cool point, Like where Harry and Dumbledore teleport out of the school, And keep viewers who haven't read the book on the line and you A.) get them to pick up a book, or B.) have them sitting at the midnight showing at the next movie.
Overall the movie was good. Rottentomatoes gave them an 88%, I give them an 85%. A Solid summer movie that you can talk about or a week or two.
