Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was the biggest disappointment ever, out of all the other movies.
The other movies were acceptable and a fairly good representation of the book (although I was a bit disappointed in Order of the Phoenix), this movie...sucked. Maybe I just don't like the David Yates direction.

Anyway, referring to this picture above, why the hell is Cho there? She doesn't even appear in the movie. Neville is hardly there too.

There were so many things that didn't even happen in the book! They shouldn't have put it in the movie. Instead, they should have put in the scenes that actually occurred in the book itself.

On technical notes, the music...I didn't think it was done very well. It just didn't seem to suit the film.
The lighting was also terrible. There was too much hard lighting! It was not necessary at all! They made the whole movie seem so dull and colourless too. Although it's gloomy, it's not THAT sad. The ending was super disappointing too, as they did not conclude the way the book did, and I thought the book had a fine conclusion.

I was also slightly disappointed in the acting, although they did fine jobs in the other movies, I think they could've done better. But then again, they've grown up quite a bit so that may be a factor. Speaking of acting, Alan Rickman performed wonderfully, as expected. And Professor Slughorn! WHAT?! He wasn't like I imagined at all, they could've at least put the effort in to give him a moustache, as he was supposed to have one.

And while they were in the cave, the basin was supposed to be glowing GREEN because of the liquid in it. GRR, why couldn't they do something as simple as that?!

Not to mention the fact that if the viewer hasn't read the book, they will no doubt be confuzzled at many points in the movie.

Well, I guess that's all. I really needed to let this out somewhere and rant on about it.
