8 "Harry Potter" movies, which one do you like best?
This answer may be more difficult to answer.
But if you ask the other way around, which one is not too satisfying for you?
Maybe the sixth part of "The Half-Blood Prince" will be "highly voted".
Check out the ratings of 8 movies on Douban, "Half-Blood Prince" is the lowest one among them. Of course, the score of 8.1 surpasses most movies. It's just that the other seven "Harry Potter" movies have higher ratings.
In fact, not only in China, but also in the hearts of foreign fans, there is also mixed praise for the movie "The Half-Blood Prince". Moreover, the derogatory voice may be louder.
Next, let’s take a look at the disappointments of the movie "Half-Blood Prince".
1. Voldemort's background story was deleted
When "The Half-Blood Prince" was released, fans were full of expectations. After all, the original novel "The Half-Blood Prince" is very exciting, especially the in-depth digging of the background story of Voldemort.
Fans are also eager to see how the big screen shows how Tom Riddle Jr. became Voldemort step by step.
However, after watching the movie, many fans were "disappointed". There are only two scenes of Voldemort’s past portrayal in the movie, namely Dumbledore to the orphanage to pick up Tom Riddle Jr. to study at Hogwarts, and Riddle and Professor Slughorn talking about Horcrux.
When "Half-Blood Prince" was being promoted, the slogan "To know the future, return to the past." was used in the film.But in the movie, whether it is Voldemort's past or the past of the "Half-Blood Prince", it just ends.
For friends who have not read the original novel, the amount of information behind the character will be obviously insufficient.
2. Added some irrelevant plots
If the background story of Voldemort is deleted because the movie is not long enough, the plot of and Dursley is deleted if it is unnecessary, then add A scene of Harry flirting with a waitress in a subway cafe. What is it for?
Especially Harry was reading the "Daily Prophet" in front of Muggles, and he accidentally let Muggles see the people in the photos moving. The logic behind this is really hard to understand.
In addition, there is a scene of the Burrow being burnt down. This is also the original plot in the movie, although the screenwriter may want to use it to be burned to symbolize the cruel reality of war. But Burrow will continue to "appear" in the next movie?
In "Deathly Hallows (Part 1)", the Burrow "unscathed" reappears before our eyes. So, is it meaningless to burn its setting in "Half-Blood Prince"?
3. It did not play a role as a "connecting link"
The biggest role of "Half-Blood Prince" is not to elicit who the "Half-Blood Prince" is, but to elicit Horcrux for the next trio Find the way to destroy the Horcruxes to pave the way.
However, it is precisely because the movie has deleted the description of Voldemort's memories for a long time, so the introduction to the ins and outs of the Horcrux is very vague.
If you don’t understand why Voldemort made Horcruxes and what method he used to make Horcruxes, then casual viewers who have not read the original novel will most likely be The group was confused by the behavior of looking for Horcruxes.
Concluding remarks
In addition to the above three points, fans still have a lot of complaints. For example, there is almost no battle for the Astronomical Tower in the movie, Dumbledore's funeral is so "simple", and so on.
Of course, there are also movie lighting problems that fans often ridicule, and even called "Half-Blood Prince" the "darkest" piece of "Harry Potter".
Do you feel satisfied with the adaptation of the film "The Half-Blood Prince"?
