Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince

Never read any Potter book. Never really care about the story. I watched all Potter movies only because of one thing, and one thing only....Alan Rickman.

The 6th movie was delayed twice for its release since summer 2008. When it finally arrived on July 16th here, in Indonesia, the people were like.. going nuts! Most theatres were fully booked for the whole weekend. It's Harry Potter phenomena all over again.

Well, is the movie itself a phenomenon? In my personal opinion, it is the most boring HP movie. The story itself is dark enough, so it's an absolute teenage to adult movie. Too bad, it is not wrapped good enough. No memorable action scene, not thrilling enough, too many teenage love story, even the ending is not strong enough. It should bring tears even to the people who didn't read the book. Well, friends who cried at the end admitted that they remember their feelings when reading the book, not because of the movie scene...oh, well.

The actors are not bad at all, except one, Daniel Radcliffe! He still can't act!! Please Lord help us who stuck with him for the next movie.

But I'm proudly say, I don't give a damn about all of that movie weakness. It's Alan Rickman that I had waited for. His sexy accent, cold expression, everything! Been a fan since Die Hard.

So, the bad thing about this movie is a lot of things but.. Alan Rickman.
