A Masterpiece

Although this movie has been on TV constantly, it was correct to re-release it to the theater. It is a masterpiece. It was designed for the big screen and a theater's sound system. Since it's last release, I have watched this movie twice on a home theatre system, and all I can say is that it does not do it justice. I was again transfixed, not moving from my seat for the length of the movie. It is my hope that the producers bring this back to the theater every ten years, to give the next generation a chance to truly appreciate the majesty of the greatest movie of its time. And if you can still score a ticket to the final two movies, GO!
The actors just keep getting better, but I'm glad book 7 is becoming two movies; there's just so much left out of this movie. Everything that's there is excellent, but pages upon pages are represented by seconds on the screen. It's impossible to say I was fully satisfied, because "Hal Blood Prince" is a transitional book; it sets up "Deathly Hallows". I felt I should have seen "To Be Continued" as the end credits rolled. But while the movie played, I was largely satisfied with how it played and also very satisfied with the cast. I'll watch this again right before the next one comes out.
