This was a good Harry Potter Movie, though I still prefer the 4th one because of the sheer amount of action scenes. The end was shortened a great deal to meet time requirements, but it excluded a large fight scene which disappointed me. It does focus more on the romantic-comedy aspect of the book which was ok if you like that sort of stuff. What did truly upset me about the movie is that even though it was titled "The Half Blood Prince", the prince made a couple of short appearances throughout the movie and then when all the suspense of discovering the prince reaches its peak point, the identity is revealed in a very monotonous boring manner. I still enjoyed it, and I recommend fans to go see it. Just don't hold your expectations TOO high.
