The creators of this series have finished it with a jewel. Clever, funny, heartwarming and heart breaking at the same time. Tougher on Mothers than on kids, because kids want to grow up! A sweeter movie would be hard to find.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I was a little disappointed in Avatar. With all the hype about Cameron's genius I expected the whole film to be great but the story was predictable and the concluding scenes looked like a video game. The Marine commander was way over the top. It was also depressing to think that by the year 2154 we would not know better than to destroy a civilization for some mineral or other. There is no denying the beauty of the film and appeal of the leading players. I don't like films where we are the bad guys!
The half blood prince was all that was expected. Obviously everyone involved is determined to bring the books to the screen in the best possible way. And aren't the producers lucky that everyone has stayed alive, out of jail, and grown up pretty good looking? More somber than the others but then so are the books. Academy Awards should have long since recognized Alan Rickman just tomention one. What's up with that anyway? Surely these films are as good as if not better than the Lord of the Rings!
Despite his charm Dwayne Johnson lived up to the image of the hulking action figure devoid of brains. Of course, this is the fault of the writers. Not one issue was dealt with using their heads, not even those of the so called 'advanced aliens'. And the stereotype of the government, all brawn and no brains, is hardly the best image for children. We have evidently not come very far from ET in that mind set. A disappointment overall.
