I was rather disappointed by the movie. I know that there is a never a smooth transition from book to film, but of all the HP movies, I felt like this one was the worst. It seemed like I was watching "Harry Potter: Halfblood Prince: The Cliff Notes" because it just seemed like they tried to hit on the main points without creating any real cohesion from one scene to the next.
It seemed like there were individual actors/characters that were very well done (Draco, both Toms, Lavender), but aside from those few, the cast really seemed to fall flat. Snape's whole scene of "Yes, I'm the Halfblood Prince" killed me. I love Alan Rickman, but Holy God. I wanted to die. It was like nothing came off well. I didn't even give a shit when the big D died. And I cried when I read the book! But in this, it just seemed like another plot point.
I still think that, out of the two last books of the series, *this* is the book they should have split into two movies. There was so much more information that just didn't get passed on in the movie (and they spent waaaay too much time focused on all the love triangles and *gag*).
I don't know, maybe I'm just a picky bitch, but I really felt let down.
