Half Blood Prince

It's probably not fair for me to comment too heavily on Half Blood Prince, as I foolishly went to a midnight screening and fell asleep during the movie. But I totally will.

First;

Emma Watson still can't act, she RUINS every scene she's in. Emma Watson really is the worst. Harry and Ron do an OK job rounding out the trio. Ron especially in this movie, played the charming, if not totally clueless buffoon well.

The direction in this movie was pretty great. Yeats delivers some beautiful shots (seriously the scene with Ginny and Harry in the cornfield was breathtaking), but his style isn't intrusive like Cuaron's was in Azkaban. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about innovation in film, but a huge franchise like HP, where I already have my ideas of what stuff looks like, is not the place for it.

I'm trying to think of memorable scenes and I'm really drawing a blank, but I suppose all HP movies leave me feeling kind of empty. I'm hoping splitting the 7th into two will help with that, because seeing minute things from the books realized is all the fun for me.

The best thing in this movie by far is Luna Lovegood. Everytime she was on screen I was totally engaged and excited. Evanna Lynch is fantastic, I mean really, look at her.

WORK.
