I expected Harry potter-the half blood prince to be the thriller, with all about voldemort and the dark world. Sadly, its just turned out to be an average take on the JK Rowling book, with Lavender Brown getting more frames than even hermione.
Okay, they wanted to make the movie interesting for the audience, but the trade-off has been really frustrating for the harry potter fans. Most of the movie has been shot about romance in the air and teenage life of harry and his friends but the people expect a thriller from a HP movie. Not a casual take on teenage love with some magic involved. The plot just unfolds in the last half an hour of the movie and the lead characters of the novel have not been given their due while the supporting ones (lavender brown etc) are just used for no reason at all. Poor screenplay, poor direction and some really wonderous scenes reduced to a flash makes you wonder that is this the adventurous harry potter series like the other movies ?
The scenes at Hogwarts are usually filled with 'snugging' teenagers and one wonders why werent harry's seniors been shown 'snugging' in the corridors in the other harry potter movies and they just had to keep on emphasising the fact that love was in the air ? With just 1-2 spells in the whole movie, no wand-fight for the matter, the story just reduces to showing the main focus of the book, to introduce about Horcruxes and show the killing of Dumbledore. The storyline is with lots of loopholes and direction is all the while poorer. Snape has not been given his due while the movie also lacks the male protagonist's optimism. Harry is shown to be afraid of Draco in the opening scenes at hogwarts which makes you wonder if this is the boy who'll be killing voldemort in the final blockbuster. A opportunity missed, i'll say the least.
