I didn't remember the last time I sat in the theatre, thrilled of what's going to happen next on the big screen but also at the same time wishing to stay in the moment like, forever. That was exactly what happened when I saw this epic flick. I mean, I've been waiting for this movie FOREVER and Half Blood Prince turned out exceeded my expectations. I've been counting on director David Yates to not ruin the book moments and replace them with rubbish he showed on screen (look what Mike Newell did to Goblet of Fire!).
Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince did surprise me a lot. The movie was a lot darker and more grown up in every way than the previous installments. Unlike the first to the fourth franchises, David Yates refuse to serve french fries and serve steak instead. Well I assume those who didn't read the book will not enjoy it as much as those who did. I wanted to grant this latest Harry Potter installment whole five stars. But despite my irrevocable love for J.K. Rowling's works, there are few disatisfactions occured, I'm afraid. The first lack was on the juvenile Voldemort's emotional approach to the viewers. Yes, the honorable director did put up some scenes written in the book. But I think the movie scenes just passed by, I supposed the director tended to 'skip the boring parts' so the audience don't fall hopelessly asleep on their seats. Which was rather unwise, since Yates wasted too much of his precious times adding some lame-o adolescent love affairs. And it was a shame since Voldemort's pasts are supposedly the book's strongest moments, the very first bite of the main course. The second let-down I happened to notice was that Yates removed some memorable scenes in the book, such as the Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding and how emotional it was when Bill was attacked by the nasty Fenrir Greyback, and not to mention my favourite part of the book: The Gaunt! I was counting on David Yates to create something exactly just like what J.K. Rowling portrayed in her writings. I mean, come on, they didn't even mention anything about The Gaunt family. Then how on earth people will understand the hatred Voldemort had to bear? I believe The Half Blood Prince was not just another kid movie that only defines people as simply a hero or a villain. Anyway, is it just me or Draco Malfoy was irresistably hot?? :p Love it! David Yates at his best! |
