Have you been to see the new Harry Potter film? I went to the see the film last night with my fiancée and two children. The children were especially excited to go to the cinema to watch the next instalment of Harry Potter and his friends as they have loved the previous films. In this article I will be giving an honest opinion/review of the film.

Now to start with I would have to say that I am glad I went to watch the film; it is something to discuss with your friends and work colleagues at least. I will not be buying the film on DVD however. Why not? Well I have to say we all felt very disappointed with it; it was far too long for the amount of real action that was included within the film; it was as if they were just trying to do some form of “filler”. I have to say that the overall impression that we came away with was that this film was just a way of making a great deal of money; such a shame and such a waste.

There was a young boy a few seats away from me who fell asleep with around thirty minutes remaining – if that boy is reading this article I can tell you that you did not miss much.

I am not a film reviewer, I do many things in life but this is not one of them. I am in fact a seller of composite front doors, I also work on other projects to do with providing web promotion tips and offering a DVD authoring service.

Now you may read in various newspaper reviews that this film is “outstanding” or “the best ever”; these are the types of adjectives that these journalists like to use. I have a question for these people; how old are you? OK so you are not a child then? This is mainly a children’s film and I have to say that the type of comments that I received from my children were as follows:

“I thought the film was never going to end”

“This was my least favourite of all of the Harry Potter films”

“There was not enough action in the film”

“It was just on for far too long”

On a more positive note the film was quite funny in parts and also quite sad at other times. The special effects and the 3D at the start were also most impressive.
