Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
I really liked this installment of the Harry Potter saga, other than its 3 hour length. The story has a real solid focus on the importance of the mission here, and the sense of danger was well displayed. the acting has gotten considerably better over the years and i found myself genuinely impressed with some of the actors that I had seen in this franchise for so long. The seriousness was offset by mildly humorous romantic subplots, and I thought the whole thing was very well balanced. My only gripe was the deep cuts made to the mystery of the identity of the Half Blood Prince...guys I know the movie was too long to begin with, but c'mon its the title of the movie! Can't we find a little more space to develop that line a little more?! Anyhow, that aside, I had a really good time with this one and it was one of the few movies that didn't disappoint me this Summer.

The story : Harry is given a lesson in the history of Tom Riddle and animportant mission by professor Dumbledore that may very well the key ingredient in the formula to defeat Lord Voldemort, all while defending himself and his friends from increasingly frequent attacks by the Dark Lord's minions.
