Re: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I saw it on Wednesday and again on Friday. I will focus on the first veiw more than the second because there was a drunk bastard talking during hte whole film until we got him and his family kicked out near the end.

Overall I liked this movie and felt that it flowed from the fifth film into the sixth was excellent. I guess it helped to have the same director and all. The movie will never be the same as the books since there is simply too much information to cover. I thought they did a good job for the most part, even with the additional scenes they imported. I think the end was a bit rushed, particularly dealing with Harry budding relationship with Ginny and the issue with LV history & horcruxes, but I think the lead up to Movie 7 is good. There were some small parts I miss (again thanks to the ahole seated behind me), but might opt to go see it in IMax as well.

I too was really excited to see this scene brought to life. I think they did a great job with it. This is one of the scenes I was really looking forward to. As the scene approached in the movie, I started getting really twitchy. My friend who was with me asked me "what's wrong?" "Ooooh you'll see. Just you wait." My friend is not a Harry Potter reader. Thank god, they didn't disappoint me.

All in all, I was pleased with the movie as I long ago resigned myself to the fact that they'll never be able to fit an entire book in one movie. (Though I am encouraged because I've heard rumors they're doing Deathly Hallows as two movies. That *MIGHT* allow them to fit everything in.)

It might have been the movie or maybe just a great night at the drive-in (I saw 4 shooting stars during the movie), but I thoroughly enjoyed this episode of Harry Potter and may even go back to see it again.

LOL the only other time I jumped was at Alien, when it popped out of the guys chest.

The who is the 1/2 blood prince question wasn't answered until the end. Kinda pissed me off.

Re: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Saw it on by birthday a few days ago. Have been reading those books since I was in 4th grade haha. But I thought it was an excellent movie, its not the book but they definitely did the best with what they had. The horcrux scene was fantastic, i was crawling in my seat when they appeared at the cave entrance, all in all definitely worth the money.
