Summary - Barely OK 2.0
On a positive note: During one scene in this movie, Daniel Radcliffe gave a good performance! On a negative note, this movie was overall quite boring, taking what I vaguely remember to be a pretty slow book and turning it into a lackluster movie. While I’m sure it must have been difficult to turn a 600+ page book into a movie that didn’t require an intermission (while still retaining all of the book’s subplots and continuity), the end result was a threadbare storyline that barely covered the most important aspects of the story and was held together by the thinnest of narrative threads.
Acting - OK 2.5
The acting hasn’t improved as the actors matured, sadly. However, as I mentioned in my summary, Daniel Radcliffe did give his best performance yet during one scene in the movie: he had to act potion-drunk — something not hard for a 20 year old Brit to do.
