HARRY POTTER & THE HALF-ASS PRINCE

Yes, either Yates really did half-ass this movie, or he REALLY is that incompetent. I think it is the latter.
I must admit the Dan, Emma, and Rupert's acting has very much improved in this film.
SO...Was it REALLY Yates' directorial vision to create such an AWKWARD, WEIRD, and CRINGE-INDUCING film? Was it his direction that rendered these characters into complete one-dimensional caricatures???
-NO explanation/development of Snape as the "Half Blood Prince" besides one measly line that literally came out of no where. How did Snape even know Harry was wondering about this HBP? The movie didn't even develop Harry's fascination w/ this HBP- carrying around the book does not constitute such. Anyways, JKR protrayed a completely different side to Snape by inviting us into his past, the reasons for his inner torment. Snape is a wonderfully complex character. Yet the movie skipped over it completely. How are we supposed to sympathize with this character in the last book if he has been turned into a 1-D "evil" character???
-Dumbledore was once again completely OUT OF CHARACTER. I blame both the actor and the director. I could go on with this. Oh, and since when did Dumbledore start inquiring Harry about his "love" life??? Oh is it because Yates thought he should suddenly be interested in romance bc he is GAY? OMG KILL ME NOW.
-AWKWARD, utterly UNNECCARILY drawn out "sexual tension/interplay" and "romance." Wow, i didn't realize I payed to watch a painfully executed "romcom" about Harry & Ginny, Hermoine/Ron/Lavender/That Blond Guy. CUT ALL THAT SHIT OUT and film scenes that are crucial to the book's STORYLINE... such as MORE HBP stuff... Correct me if I am wrong, but the movie is called "Harry Potter AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE," right? No, the director thought it was smart to demote that crucial part of the book and cram all that in 15 minutes. Even Dumbledore's death was completely glanced over. WAY TO KILL OFF ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHARACTERS IN THE SERIES. I can only imagine how pitiful Snape's death will be...

I have more to say, but I'll leave it at that.

Though it was a terrible film that disgraces JKR's book, I found myself simultaneously laughing & cringing at its overall ridiculousness. sigh...

Oh and...
