half blood prince
The Harry Potter franchise gets its sixth film adaptation next week, and early buzz on the wizarding saga is... fantastically fresh! As Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and Co. experience the first tremors of teenage love -- and all the hormonal shifts that come with puberty, (Hog)warts and all -- the battle between good and evil is also heating up. Can Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and returning helmer David Yates withstand the series' growing pains? By the looks of things, Half-Blood Prince not only might maintain the franchise's track record of Certified Freshness, it may also conjure up the best reviews of the entire series. As a wizard might say, "Merlin's Beard!"
As critics continue to chime in with reviews of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, a quick glance at the early Tomatometer not only shows that initial reactions are overwhelmingly positive, but also that they indicate that Certified Fresh status might be right around the corner. (A film needs a minimum of 40 reviews counted, at least five of them by Top Critics, for Certified Fresh consideration.) Half-Blood Prince would land in very good company; all five of its movie predecessors have earned the Certified Fresh distinction:
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), 78%
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), 82%
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), 89%
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), 88%
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), 77%
But what exactly are the critics saying about Half-Blood Prince? Read on for a survey of Tomatometer reviews so far.
