Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

This installment of the Potter series was disappointing. The acting often seemed just that: acted. The delivery of lines frequently was too studied, lacking naturalness. At other times, the characters appeared rather lifeless. Of course, the poor acting muddied the comic moments of the film, too, making them feel oddly muted and mechanical - and not particularly funny. The film was also very anti-climactic. There didn't seem to be a distinct peak point in the movie, which left me feeling quite underwhelmed with the whole thing. My general feeling about the film is that it is a lacklustre effort upon which I have wasted my money and time.
