LC and I went to the cinema last week to watch the third Harry Potter prequel. After the abject failure of the second film we didn't expect much, and as a result we weren't disappointed.
It's not a bad film. It's certainly better than the previous one. But at the same time, it's not a particularly good film, either, and it suffers from most of the same problems as the first - a zoo-keeper as hero in a film that calls for a spy, a core cast who are never on screen together, a complete lack of motive for one of those characters, a long running time filled with not much and then a rushed climax.
The best thing about the film is that it does come to an end. I'm presuming that this is a matter of the studio preparing to cut their losses and turn the 5-film series into a trilogy. And if this is the end, I'll be glad - both that it is the end and that the story came to an end.
Honestly, I can't recommend this, unless like me you're the sort who hates leaving things part-done.
Next up for us is probably the final Jurassic World film - it would be Dr Strange, but we haven't yet seen "No Way Home", and films seem to come to Disney+ pretty quickly, so we'll probably leave it until then. But we'll see.
