Although I thought this movie was three times better than the first, sometimes I felt like the acting was something you would see from soap operas. Overall, it was intense and WAY more action...but personally I am still thirsting for more action, but then again it is only PG13.
To me the best action was in the previews. There is a lot of goo goo relationship stuff in there, and NO "dark lord". I was disappointed in the fact that based on the Phoenix movie, I felt there should have been more magic, etc. This movie gave me the vibe of being a "set-up" movie for things to come because it connected some pretty important dots. And that to me is the ONLY thing that saved this movie in getting a 4. Sorry guys.... it just wasnt the same Harry Potter movie.
