Well lo and behold - a new Harry Potter film that continues in the fine Potter-esque traditions of being dump. It was so cheesy and feel-goody that I'm surprised Rodney Dangerfield didn't appear at the end and do the funky chicken. I dunno how accurate it is to the book, but it didn't work as a film. It was like loads of little set pieces with some feeble excuse for a plot holding it all together. I wasn't expecting anything that great, but the plot was all over the shop - only finaly coming together at the end with the Bergerac style criminal going over his fiendish plot just to make sure that everyone was clear on why and how he was doing it. Highlight of the film was Kenneth Brannagh's self-loving, smug Professor of the Defence Against the Dark Arts, or something. He was actually very funny. Rest was backwash from John Leslie's toilet.

I wouldnt even consider going to see that. But its your money i guess.
It's from a book about a little wizard boy
Kenneth Brannagh did, however, rule.
I'll go see it at sometime since I don't actually pay for individual films thanks to the glorious UGC Unlimited card.
> I went last night too with iguana, saw it in Cambridge
Ah but which cinema did you go to?
The cool indie cinema near Downing, or the hideous Warner village?
'Nuff said.
