I have seldom been so disappointed in a movie. The plot roamed around randomly and did not hold my interest in any way. There were endless scenes of people saying boring things as slowly as possible with the minimum of emotion. The acting was absolutely wooden, although in Johnny Depp's case it was just plain awful. Worst of all, there was not a single character that made me care about them. I am a huge HP fan, and cannot believe this claptrap is from the same writer. I did like some of the costumes, at least......but not enough to forgive this movie for being utterly tedious!
