921. harry potter and the half blood prince

Rant of the day: Pimples pimples everywhere!!!

Ance outbreak!!! I'm totally stressed up with doing the plans for the workshop and stuff. Had to engage all heroes to help me out... I really can't manage it on my own. There's really way too many things to handle alone.

Still, there's a few more seminars to conduct in-house and also with another external organising party coming tomorrow. One coming next week as well.

Anyway, watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince earlier. Seriously, it's really just average. For someone whom didn't read the book and can spot many many short cuts to skip the story, the script writer really didn't edit the story well from the original book.

There's alot of details not shown, making the storyline a lil weird and illogical. Many portion of the movie just doesn't link nor make sense... Lemme list down my observation for the movie...

The bad

1) Why couldn't the 2 highly skilled death eaters (subordinates of Voldermort) win 2 kids (Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley) when they were in the middle of the long grass area?

2) Why Dumbledore is able to locate the cave that Voldermort hid one of the dunno how to spell when Dumbledore himself have no clue?

3) Why when Dumbledore and Harry was away from Hogwarts, the death eaters did not take the chance to attack the school?

4) Why Snape is the half blood prince?

5) Did Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger get together?

6) Why did the death eaters attack the school with NO resistance? They destroyed the grand hall, broke all the glass windows and no one attempt to stop them? Weird...

7) Why the death eaters burnt Hagrid's house when there's no one inside? And where did Hagrid go?

8) Why did Dumbledore right hand turned black when he attempted to destroy the ring of Voldermort's mother? What did the ring do to his hand?

9) The fight scene between Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy in the toilet is so short!!!

10) There is lil focus on Hermione and Ron, even though they are also part of the lead in the movie.

The good

1) Fantastic animation effects. I exceptionally love the scene when Dumbledore and Harry were standing on a rocky cliff in the middle of the roaring sea.

2) Breath-taking sceneries. Don't you just love the mountains?

3) Ron is still really really funny. Love the part where he done a fantastic job in the Quidditch game and also when he accidentally ate the food containing love potion.

4) Hermione (Emma Watson) is chio la...

5) The acting skill of the casts are commendable.

6) The complicated BGR affair between Ron and Hermione is pretty amusing.

7) It applies to Harry and Ginny as well for point (6).

8) Harry got the chance to show his powers when he got into a real fight with Draco.

9) Hermione's power also quite zai. She only need to whisper to cast a spell!

10) Harry look slightly better than the previously episode. The last one he looked like a begger.

So, if I were to grade the movie, it worth only 3 out of 5. But I'm sure all the Harry Potter fans will rush for the tickets like my dear did. Haha. Yes, it's full house!!!
