Movie Rec: Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince
Sunday, July 19th, 2009 07:58 pmObservation the first: If Alan Rickman works one iota more of loathing into his voice, there will be none left for the rest of us for the next twenty years or so.
Observation the second: When the couple behind you spends their time making out and whispering through most of the frikkin' movie, it's a testament to the film's storytelling power that certain scenes got them to shut up completely.
Observation the third: ( I want a word with the editors, mostly because I get the feeling that the narrative would have been a lot more coherent were the editing better. )
Observation the fourth: ( The film's visual themes appeared to be 'smoke and mirrors' and 'cluttered spaces' and for the most part, this lead to some great visuals and metaphors. )
Observation the fifth: ( There are a million more reasons why Luna Lovegood is my favorite character now! And a great many excellent performances on the parts of most of the cast. )
Observation the sixth: We interrupt this film for a giant spider funeral and slightly drunken hero! :D
tl;dr version: While the film is not without its flaws, this is highly entertaining piece of work that neatly sets up the two-part opera that will be HPatDH, (frustratingly) due in the next few years.
