  Not that bad actually
  
  enjoyable but getting a bit formulaic - it is a good film though and the characters are growing up - makes you feel old!

  Same old
  
  One of the better of the Harry Potter movies. But as with all the movies in this series it doesn't do the books any justice whatsoever.

  The awkwardness is the only thing interrupting the boredom
  
  About the only effective performance in this film is that of the actor who played the teenage Tom Riddle. His role was small, but the quiet sinisterness he gave... read more »
