[WARNING: Contains spoilers for Harry Potter 6]
Yes, I just got home from watching Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and it was brilliant, if I may say so myself. :'D The actors were really fab (Emma Watson has improved a great deal from the earlier films, even though her crying scenes are still slightly unconvincing), the film has a dark undertone the whole way which is really very fitting, but it still has a lot of humour in it, more than in the last couple films, and that's awesome! Still, as I said, it's dark, and quite emotional. I mean, there's the death of Dumbledore, which, of course, is really really sad (even though the film didn't make me as sad as I felt reading it - they were a bit quick about the whole thing). And then there's Draco, who just spends the whole film being depressed and emo over the task Voldemort has given him. Tom Felton does an absolutely brilliant job portraying that guy! I spent the whole movie just sitting there, wanting to give him a great big hug! He was being so sad and adorable... ;__; And I'm mad at Harry for attacking him in the toilet, while he was standing by the sink, crying in despair! Harry can be such a dork some times... *Sigh* I've really become a Draco Malfoy/Tom Felton fangirl... ^^;
One thing I found sort of negative about the film though, was how vague and unexplanatory it was. I think most people who haven't read the book will be a bit confused watching this film. They do not explain why Voldemort has given Draco his task, nor do they say anything about Voldemort/Tom Riddle's connection to the cave where Harry and Dumbledore find the false Horcrux. Also, they've completely changed the location and the look of the Weasleys' home. It's suddenly not so tall and tipsy, and it's in the middle of a field full of friggin' corn spikes! I mean, I like David Yates as a director, but seriously, what the hell? He sometimes take liberties with the set that I can't really say I approve much of... It's been like that ever since the third film, when they started changing the directors. I do like the way they've become darker and more mature, I really do, but, like I said, they've been taking liberties... Oh well, the film is great in it self, and so are all the films, if you ask me. If they'd only used Yates since the beginning... :P
