| Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) | "
The sixth installment of the Harry Potter series is neither the best nor the worst so far. The acting has improved considerably and the effects are better than ever but nothing really happens and there are some unforgivably slow stretches." — ViewLondon Posted Jul 10, 2009 |
