This is a movie of contradictions.
This is the shortest Harry Potter movie so far but the thickest of the books so far.
This movie does the best job of covering the gist of the book but it's the weakest of the movies so far.
There's some things that had to be cut and other things they had to change. But for the most part they covered what needed to be covered. Except the revelation scene at the end of the movie needed more.
It's just... there was something missing. There's very little color in the movie, but I don't think that's it. There's some stuff that you have to have read the books first to understand properly.
I just got the same feeling I did with "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe". It has all the attributes of a good movie without actually being a good movie. It's not bad. It's just... meh.
Yep. That's my review. Meh.

I just saw it last night. It was pretty choppy, and unfortunately for the movie, the book is more of an emotion-based book, Harry's increasing anger at not being included/told about things relating to him, Sirius' frustration at not being able to help the order out more, Snape's delight in taunting him, etc. The only thing we really got was Harry's anger and a throwaway line from Sirius.
The most important thing they left out was the finding of and being unable to open Regulus' locket, which will turn out to be (SPOILER) a horcrux.
On the plus side, Luna Lovegood's character was great, and Bella Lestrange - yeah, I'd tap that ass.
