Darker and yet funnier than the previous films.
Advantages: Amazing special effects. Excellent acting.
Disadvantages: Unfaithful to the book in parts.
...film in its own right Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is one of my favourites of the series so far. This film is much darker than the others, the wizarding world has now admitted that Voldemort is back and Harry has to realise his ties with Voldemort more than ever before. Despite being a much darker film it is also more comedic than many of the others. The strong theme of romance and various different love stories give the film much needed ...
...are hilarious. The acting is of an excellent standard and Jim Broadment makes a welcome addition to the cast as Professor Slughorn. This film contains less action than many of the others, largely to focus upon the storyline and retell the wealth of information revealed in this book. In order to create more action there are several scenes in the film which do not appear in the book. Some I think work well (the dementors destroying the millenium bridge ...

is the ultimate
Advantages: excellent cartoon animations
Disadvantages: adult theme not suitable for young viewers
The movie is one of those movies that you want to watch over and over again. its bizarre, and highly hallucinagenic qualities. Its about a taxi driver and a glowing ball(evil). that throught the aeons is found and its evil "which transcends all time" is unleashed on the people who found it. It is by far the wickedest cult classic animation movie ever.....Don't hesitate watching this one of a kind classic. Some nudity and adult theme. But it will ...

Don't Panic
Advantages: Dares to evolve the idea at the risk of alienating older fans
Disadvantages: The humour is not everyone's cup of tea
Review of the Movie The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a British science fiction institution and any attempt to add to it was always going to be controversial to its fans. Translating a story that works as a novel and a television series to a feature film is inevitably going to require changes. The film treads a thin line between trying to evolve the concept by bringing it to a new audience while still remaining true to the original concept, ...
...his best friend Ford escape the destruction of the planet Earth. It's a very english tradition to route for the underdog character and Arthur is as far away from your standard american hero as you can. The humour will likely polarise audiences. For those that do enjoy it, they'll find a more light hearted and streamlined set of gags to enjoy. Every now and again we get a humorous animated section from the guide, voiced by Stephen Fry who was an excellent ...

Charming film
Advantages: Performances, story, music, special effects
Disadvantages: Some bits missed out
...before, I am a massive Harry Potter fan and I've watched them religiously as they've been released. This film was no exception, another charming story to add to the tale of Harry Potter and his adventure through Hogwarts.
Story
The film opens with a dark snake slithering through the grasses of the graveyard towards an "outhouse". You are then in the caretakers house who spots a flashing light from one of the windows of the outhouse. He ...
...begin to destroy the campsite. Harry (of course) gets separated from the rest of the group as they head back to the portkey and ends up being knocked unconscious by people rushing past him. He wakes up and sees a mysterious man lurking out ( the same man we saw in the outhouse). He casts a spell and creates the "Dark Mark" of Voldemort in the clouds. This is where the confusion starts for Harry and continues throughout the film.
I think this film ...
