I'm half way through the movie now =)

I think this is my new favorite so far (besides chamber of secrets and prisoner of azkaban). It is alot more darker then the other films. Malfoy is awesome in this one.

yeah, heh, i'm a sucker for good dialogue
Building anticipation while still progressing the story, kind of like in that movie Basic
I watched this war movie recently. It was good, but nearly half the scenes we're so long that you lost interest by the end of the movie. It reminds me of Arabian Nights, a good storyteller can have your attention in the first 5 mins.

I just finished the rest this morning =)
I love the fight with Malfoy
Or the fight with Harry and Snape. I was worried they might try to hold back. I wish I had more time to talk about it, have to get ready for work

I've seen it several times though it's difficult for me to watch; there is such a dark patina and such a subtext of heartbreaking tragedy lying before four principals -- Harry, Draco, Snape and Dumbledore. To some extent each has chosen his path, except Harry, and you can almost taste the anguish of each. It's leavened with enough humor, and the burgeoning romantic relationships between Hermoine and Ron, Harry and Ginny were well and convincingly played. The kiss between Harry and Ginny in the Room of Requirement is beautifully done. The films have been steadily darkening, beginning with The Goblet of Fire, and this one certainly feels the darkest. I have the feeling that Yates is no longer making film adaptations of the books; he is making films which derive their stories from the books but are their own thing. He's also been laying the emotional framework for the Deathly Hallows films to follow. The Half-Blood Prince isn't just the latest in a series; it's also the beginning of a trilogy. When all the films are done and released, I think we'll begin to appreciate Yates' direction in HPB and see what he was creating and why, and how he set us up for the films to come. Painful to watch, it is still my favorite.
