Starring Daniel Radcliffe , Emma Watson and Alan Rickman
Ive honestly lost count but I know there only two more to go in the series so this one simply serves to move things along. It shows. No new ground is covered and so to keep things fresh, we are introduced to a couple of new characters and story lines. Poor old Harry still has trouble with the birds and perhaps that's why Radcliffe in real life did some Broadway last year and went full frontal. But that's another story.
This time around the theme remains dark and so does the actual look for roughly 80% of the film. Another muddled aspect is the dialogue. I found myself having to rewind a few key scenes after not being able to discern the accents and that got old quick and after 2 or 3 times I gave up.
The visuals are a different story and continue to be a selling point with this franchise. Knowing that the final two chapters will be in 3D I can honestly say that I am looking forward to them more than the last 11 or 23 or however many there have been already.
Positive points here include Alan Rickmans performance and Radcliffes subdued turn and a few welcome humorous scenes that helped break up the bleak theme and unfortunate passing of a main character.
As I stated before, nothing new here but its fun to look at and it translates beautifully on Blu-ray. You don't need my recommendation, if you've seen the others you will of course see this one.
