OVERALL: The movie is a visual masterpiece. Well put together with the special effects and soundtrack to support it. If you like that type of stuff go see the movie.
DOWNFALL: Did the writers read the right book? You guys / gals blew it IMHO. Maybe you should have included the half-blood prince in the story too (not just in the title)? If you want to "see" the book, stay home. This movie isn't about the book.
NEXT DIRECTOR'S MENTAL NOTE: think less about a Twilight like love story and more about what the story is truly about in the book.
To all those parents thinking about bringing their children ages 5 - 11 - don't. Much slower pace and older target market for this movie.
