Dark Secrets Revealed

by the way people this post is only going to be about my review on Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

So yesterday i watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.Looking at the title you'd think the movie would actually circle around it.Well,it didnt,if i remember correctly the book didn't circle much around the Half Blood Prince too,so i can't really complain about it. However,the movie was rather disappointing.The action and thrill pretty much stops at the trailer.The movie was depressing,although the darker theme is applaudable,however,i feel that the movie was relatively draggy and long.The first part of the movie was way better than the second.Yeah,the book wasn't exciting and all action,but the least they could do was inject more necessary scenes.

I honestly think the romance bit was a waste of my time.Ginny and Harry's relationship seemed as develop as a peanut,thus,they shouldn't have added in more scenes depicting their relationship.Hermione and Ron's relationship seemed abit lopsided.However,i liked seeing how it blossomed,though nothing really happened in the end. Also,Hermione and Ron seemed far more present in the first half of the film.The second half they disappeared to god know's where,and concentrated more on Harry.I know it's supposed to go that way but i think it'd be funner with Harry's two friends.

Moreover, in this film,i think Draco Malfoy managed to surpass Harry Potter in terms of character development.Harry now is much less the same in the last one,whereas we can see Draco's character develop further and understand his emotional struggle now that his father is in Azkaban.

This movie didn't seem to 'click' altogether.Some parts felt disjointed while others were pretty random.But i must say that this film is way better than the pathetic excuse of a movie called Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.However,my main complaint is that this film failed to give anyone the "wow' factor that Harry Potter movies (HP 1,2,3,4) usually do.Also,action seemed to be at it's minimal in this film.The only complete fight,however short it is, is the fight between Draco and Harry.The ending "fight" was patheticly short and it portrayed Harry as being weak.That 'fight' was the most disappointing.

My absolute favourites in this movie are Draco and Bellatrix.The movie shows audience that Draco is indeed a nice person.Despite many people thinking that he covers up his weakness with arrogance,he is actually very loyal and not weak at all.Imagine falling from grace with your father being sent to prison,that's what made him interesting.However,Draco's role is like the film itself,disjointed.Some times he has scenes and then he doesnt.Which makes it rather messy. Overall,i'd pick Draco over Harry anytime :DDD Bellatrix is super cool.I think Helena Boham Carter managed to execute the role flawlessly.She made Bellatrix appear just the right amount of mad and crazy, and still inject some mischief in the character. It's rather fun seeing Bellatrix in this film. Her costumes were like ;DDDDDDD

Overall,i encourage people to watch the film despite my many complaints. You will be astonished once you see the scenes in which Harry sees Dumbledore's first encounter with Tom Riddle (Voldermort).That scene was brilliant as it was rather creepy and gave me chills,but still undoubtedly awesome (; Also the one with the screaming girl floating in the air was awesome too cause it was like a scene from a horror movie

But yes, Go watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince cause you'll feel rather incomplete if you dont :D
