HARRY POTTER 6: AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE(2009):
Still another strong entry here, leading up to the finale!
Much revealed, relationships becoming stronger, both
good and bad! And excellent story, music and acting!!
This is an excellent film! While there are only a few
surprises in the developments(you kinda always knew
from the first film who was going to eventually be the
good guys and the bad guys), the way that it was all
brought out was well executed! A must watch before
the final two part ending!! A+
From IMDb.com:
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Most everything
about the movie is different--the characters have definitely
matured, Hooper's score is better (thank goodness), the
special effects have improved, and even the castle itself
has a different feel to it...cold and covered in shadows.
It's a refreshing touch, though. The series NEEDS constant
change, or else it would become quite stale...
There are many funny moments in the movie, and the
hormones are definitely raging. But, relationships aside,
there is also a darker side to the newest Potter entry.
Dumbledore and Harry try to unlock the secret to
Voldemort's past. Harry must retrieve a precious
memory from a long-lost friend of Dumbledore's (an
excellent Broadbent).
The last thirty or so minutes are marvelous. In particular,
there is a scene in which Harry and Dumbledore must
venture into a protected vessel of Voldemort's soul...very
creepy, very emotional...it was well-done.
Ending is surprising. Quite sad, really. I don't want to
spoil anything.
But it's a wonderful thing to see how much this series
has progressed. Epic is definitely a word that may be used
to describe Half-Blood Prince. But I'm even more looking
forward to the next two installments a must-see. - soundtrackbuff
