Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I went to see the new Harry Potter film on Saturday but have just got round to giving it a review.
I had previously been told that the film was excellent and the best of the series, but that the ending was a bit of a let down. The Pope, who had previously criticised the books as being 'the basis of evil', said the film was good at explaining the difference between 'good' and 'evil'. So before going into see the film, I had high expectations.
The film opened with scenes just mentioned as happening prior to the beginning of the book but this gave good scape as to what exactly had been happening since Lord Voldemort was made public once more.
Some scenes were unexpected to readers of the series having not happened in the books. As more events were removed from the story, these were replaced which gave the film a bit of an edge for those that had been reading the books. This was a good move as the unexpected kept the interest of the viewers and well as making the film roll.
The ending... a lot seemed to be packed into the last 10 minutes; Malfoy... Snape... Dumbledore... Phoenix... and also a random shot of the empty Great Hall which seemed to have no relevance to the storyline, the ending kind of ruined it. After what had been a magical episode had been almost ruined by the ending. It was all too much in a short space of time.
Overall I particularly enjoyed this film, and was kept on my toes for the entire thing (almost). A must see.
