This movie had non-stop action and incredible special FX. It's clearly a Stephen Sommers film. Most of the time critics don't know what they are talking about, and again with this movie... they are wrong. Go watch this movie and have some fun.
I like the character of Harry Potter, but this movie was too slow. Not enough whimsy, not enough Harry Potter. I believe they could have tempered the aging process of Harry and still keep the feel of the earlier films, but they failed at this. I would wait to rent it or to watch it on ABC family.
