Thirty-Seventh Day

kinda disappointed with the harry potter movie
not too badly
but not my favorite one
seemed kind of a pointless story to me
the whole thing was a set up
for the next film
like this just filled up space
took up time as we wait for the next movie to come out

the little love scenes were too much
seemed a bit overkill to me
they spent too much time on that
not much on the story
no interest in the characters
the characters that were big in the old films
were just like background characters now
even if we do meet a new character
they're done after one scene

i feel like they could've spent more time with the bad guys
those villains were mentioned in the beginning
and we find out their purpose in the end
but they don't spend a lot of time with them
i liked them
and feel like they had a lot of potential to do
many things with them
but i guess having the main characters drugged out by love
was more important

the film had its subtle comedy
which ruins it in the end
because you don't feel sad by the fact
that dumbledore has died
he was harry's great friend
but it doesn't seem like a big deal that he's gone
and it seems they get over his death real quickly
because they just discuss their relationships right after
but that's just the feeling i got
they also could've added his funeral like joseph said

i thought the scene with harry and dumbledore going to find
the part of the horocrux was great
they did that well
that's where the movie started to pick up
but this movie just seemed to be made
to inform us what a horocrux is
and to kind of bring all the films together
and give a purpose to them
now it sets it up for harry to find all 7 pieces of the horocrux
in order to kill voldemort
which is what he has been doing all along

and we also learn that snape is the half blood prince
but then what?
does that change anything?
is anything different?
or is he just claiming possession of the potion book?
i feel like they should've explained that a little more

but oh well
it was entertaining for a while
then the horny kids jokes got old
regular harry potter fans are going to like this movie
just cuz it's harry potter
i like the other movies better
can't wait for them to complete the series
goodnight....
