Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - 9.5/10

The best Potter film yet.

Spoiler:

show spoiler

Let me start out by saying that I never read the books. My 5th grade teacher started reading the first one in class one day, but then stopped altogether. I saw the first Potter movie and wasn't too enthralled by it, but I continued to see the movies anyway, and got more and more into it as the movies came out...and H-BP is easily the best one yet.

The actors(namely Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson) have all gotten better with age. Radcliffe still leaves something to be desired, but Emma Watson was as good as ever. She truly makes it so easy to love Hermione.

Some scenes were just plain epic...best example would be the scene in the cave when Harry is being dragged under water by the corpses/whatever the hell they were, and then suddenly here comes Dumbledore with a fucking fire tornado that would make Satan jealous. So, so awesome.

And then...the scene at the top of the tower. "Avada kadavra!" I knew it was coming...but it was still pretty upsetting. Dumbledore was an extremely likable guy and a true bad-ass. I didn't read Deathly Hallows yet and I don't intend to, so I have no fucking clue how Harry will find the remaining horcruxes and defeat Voldemort. Dumbledore's been there each step of the way, and now Harry is on his own(so to speak).

A friend of mine who reads the books was upset about what they left out(as usual) and spoke of a fight that took place in Hogwarts between the Death-Eaters and the students. That would've been nice to see, but, oh well. The movie was two and a half hours.

I'm kind of happy that I never read the books, now. Once the remaining two movies are released, I'll be glad to go back and read them and see what was left out, but for now, I'm excited that I have no idea what happens in the 7th book and two final films.

I can't wait for November 2010.

You might be glad now but once you read the books you will be sad. The Best potter movie was 3 because it had an alternate ending from the book that was quite interesting. But the book was still better. None of the movies have ever come close to the books ever. And I cannot believe they cut out the Death Eater fight in Hogwarts that part was awesome. If you watch the movies then read the books it's not gonna have the same effects because you already know what is gonna happen. I seriously advise if you like Harry Potter read Deathly Hallows before you see the film just so you can read at least one of the books before seeing the films. The last HP movie cut out so much the story barely made sense. I wonder what they cut out in this one apart from the death eater fight.

Anyways, I just watched Predator again and it was bloody awesome. I love the build up, when they first discover the crashed chopper and the skinned bodies and wonder what the hell is going on. And how they think it could be Guerrillas but slow they realize that they're being hunted. A superb film. Except some of the Predator's cloaking effects seem very dated now, thy haven't aged well. A Great action film with lots of suspense. I still like the Alien series better but Predator is great too.

Next I'm gonna go watch Predator 2.

I whach James Cameron's Titanic again yesterday man I love that film the love intrest in the flim is great the idea of a 1st class person falling in love with a 3rd class person aka poor person is great it goes to show anyone can fall in love it does not matter if your rich or poor but saying that both Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio both fitted parts and the music in the flim is brillant and sad I hardly have any tears when whaching a flim but Titanic all ways gets to me.

I love Titanic, it's such an underrated film. it gets a lot of hate for no reason.

I love everything about the film Titanic is was superbly made and directed. James Cameron is brilliant. I love all his films.

I saw the new Harry Potter film it was ok not the beast in the series but alot better to the last one but there was so much from the book removed in the film I was really upset with that but it was alright 8/10 I hope the last one aka two parter film if much better it should be it's the final film they better bring out the big gun for the next one.

I think they should have started making the movies in two parts at the 5th one. The books are simply to long for a decent part of the plot to be fitted into a 2 hour movie. Glad to see that they did good with this one. But HP5 was atrocious with the plot. So much was cut out of it. What was cut out in the new HP film?

The Hangover. The best comedy of the last decade IMO.

[GuardhouseMusic]

I disagree. I thought the Hangover was decent, but not exceedingly funny.

I just watched Predator 2. It was pretty good but took a little while to pick up on the story aspect I think. Or maybe its cause I kept being interrupted during the first half of the movie. I hate being interrupted.

It was very good, about as good as Predator 1. I did like how it added so much more to the Predator universe and was well filmed too.

And that sex scene was pretty cool to lol.

I think Alien is the better series though. I'm gonna watch Alien Directors Cut next. And see the differences between it and the regular version of the film.

watched Definitely Maybe with my girlfriend and she fell in love with the movie, best movie to watch with the one you love

Transformers 2 was just a bore for me. No real plot, just lots of explosions. Land of the Lost was actually really good and quite funny.

[Mr. Spencer]

Michael Bay films are just a bore for me. No real plot, just lots of explosions.

Fixed.

The Rock was awesome. Shut up.

The Rock was good but what about Armageddon and Pearl Harbor......

[missvalentine]

Transformers 2 was just a bore for me. No real plot, just lots of explosions. Land of the Lost was actually really good and quite funny.

It's a real shame because Transformers 2 could have been really good if it had more of a plot. But Bay just used all two hours of the film for every explosion he could think up off.

Fixed.

I agree here, I'm not a big fan of Micheal Bay, he relies to much on special effects.
