Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Review

Hi folks. MBJ here. Just got back watching Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (didn't see midnight screening). Here's my review:


The Good: First off, let me say this. This is the best Harry Potter film yet, because it's dark, thrilling, and hilarious.


HP6 is very dark. Just as dark, if not darker, than the other Potter films. It has revenge themes, murder themes, anger themes, etc. Definitely dark for a PG movie.


This film may have actually no "action sequences", but great fight scenes and intenes moments.


HP6 is very thrilling. Keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the whole movie.


Oh yeah, this film is the funniest of all the HP movies. I was belly-laughing at least 10 times, because this film has hilarious jokes and absolutely side-splitting moments.


The romance was actually pretty sweet. (Yeah, yeah, call me a wimp).


This film about had me crying at the sad sequence at the end. (Big spoiler, so I won't tell.)


The Bad: I've read the book, and I was disappointed that they cut out a fight sequence at Hogwarts from the book. That really got me upset, because it would have fit perfectly.


Overall: Don't let the PG rating fool you. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the best Harry Potter film, because it's the darkest, funniest, most thrilling, and most magical. HP6 is an absolute must-see for fantasy fans and Harry Potter fans alike. 9.5/10.
