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 ...

Chessy but fun!
Advantages: Fun story
Disadvantages: A bit childish
...a fan club convention of Galaxy Quest. We then see a backroom shot of actors dressed in their respective costumes. There is Gwen (played by Sigourney Weaver, Alexander (played by Alan Rickman), Fred (played by Tony Shalhoub) and Tommy (played by Daryl Mitchell). They are upset that the main cast charecter Jason (played by Tim Allen) is late for the convention. Jason arrives and they go on stage. A group of "aliens" go up to Jason asking for his help. ...
...the ship they have built.
The film has cheesy acting and jokes and is similiar to Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy and Spaceballs. I like the story, I think the special effects are good and the charecters (human and alien) are good. Cant remember the soundtrack. ...

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 ...

And this is was where the standards slipped
Advantages: Performances, music.
Disadvantages: Storyline.
The fifth Harry Potter film...the effects got better, the performances are amazing but the storyline isn't that brilliant. The pressure of making the Harry Potter films better and better is immense, but it didn't work that well this time.
Story
The film starts off in Little Whinging. Harry is in a park when his cousin Dudley comes across with his mates to tease Harry about numerous things, including his parents. The atmosphere goes from ...
...mates take off, leaving Harry and Dudley in the park. As the rain comes, the take shelter in the underpass when they are confronted by the Dementors. They perform the "Dementors Kiss" on Dudley and Harry tries to fight them off with the "Expecto Patronum" charm. Just as the second dementor turns to Harry, they disappear when an old lady enters the underpass. She also lives on Privet Drive, and Dumbeldore had asked her to watch out for Harry. She ...

Harry Potter and the goblet of fire
Advantages: great allround movie
Disadvantages: value for money
...are a woder to behold.
Harry (Daniel Radcliff) must compete, unwillingly, in the triwizard tornament after his name was mysteriously entered into the goblet of fire by and unknown enemy. but there are more challenges instore than even the judges expected in which Harry comes face to face with he who must not be named once again in a breathtaking ending. this is by a long way the greatest Harry Potter movie so far and i would recomend it to everyone, ...
