Harry Pothead
July 30, 2007 by John in Entertainment, Review
I saw the new Harry Potter movie yesterday. While I wouldn’t say it sucked outright, it was definitely the worst Potter movie so far. It was boring and the actors are far too old to be playing teenagers. And it felt like filler, as if they’re just marking time to the big finale two movies away. The movie felt disjointed, like major sections of the plot were left somewhere on the cutting room floor, as if they wanted to do “dark” but just didn’t know how, and made it literally, not metaphorically, “dark.”
Out if this year’s crop of sci-fi/fantasy movies, even Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and hell, even Ghost Rider, were far more entertaining. Transformers is an Oscar contender in comparison. About the only movie that I would rank worse than HP5 is Spiderman 3.
