I thought the movie was good, better than "Goblet of Fire" but not as good as "Prisoner of Azkaban" and "Order of the Phoenix." David Yates did an excellent job directing, as he did with Order, but the story was a bit too scattered. First, they did not explain a few very key plot points. I went with 3 people who have not read the books, and they were asking questions at the end of the movie on 2 particular points that were unexplained. Also, they was a bit too much of the "snogging" (as Hermione puts it.) There are some very funny scenes and the effects are amazing as always. I would recommend seeing it, but it's just not one of the best.
