Recommended?:
Good Points: The acting had certainly improved from the previous films - I saw Daniel Radcliffe in Equus and he was quite good, so i hoped he would get better on screen too.
I liked the way the fight scene was done in the ministry, even though it was quite different from the book.
Helena Bonham-Carter as Bellatrix was genius, and i can't believe she wasn't their first choice!
Bad Points: I understand certain things have to be cut out of a film that is adapted from a book, but seriously, having read all the books there are some cuts/changes that SHOULD NOT have been made. It's going to mess up the other films now as there will be gaps in the story or vital parts changed in the future.
In the book, the kids get injured pretty badly in the ministry, and it made no sense to me that they all walked away without more than a scratch on them - Ginny breaks her ankle, Neville breaks his nose, Ron gets attacked by weird brain things, Hermione almost dies!! COME ON! Something out of those could have been included.
They also skipped the whole thing about Neville being part of the prophecy! Gah!
The Order should have been in it way more - they were good!
Also, Emma Watson needs to learn to control her eyebrows - they just shouldn't be THAT emotive!
General Comments: Ok, you have to watch the films as separate from the books or you get annoyed about the differences. I do feel this film is the best so far, helped by the improved acting. I hope the final two films will be done better, darker and with the important parts kept in.
