Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Jul. 16th, 2009 01:17 am...is at least 70% romantic comedy. David Yates (the director) has excellent comic timing!
Overall impressions:
1. Hermione is still the hottest thing on screen. Ginny really can't compete, poor thing.
2. Rupert Grint is actually a really good actor! I hadn't realized because the scriptwriter never gives Ron enough to do.
3. Dan Radcliff is still the weakest link, but he was fun to watch in the good-luck-potions-make-Harry-feel-invincible scenes (and he obviously had fun performing them, too).
4. Jim Broadbent was PERFECT as Professor Slughorn, whoever made that casting call deserves a medal.

In conclusion Rotten Tomatoes was right to score this movie so highly.
