Disappointing. Strange. First movie I ever watched that had a narrator. Since the soundmen cannot make the dialog understandable, this movie comes with a voice over commentary explaining what's going on to the audience. It is supposed to be a Harry Potter prequel, set in 1920's New York. No characters from the previous Harry Potter movies or the books appear in it. I never did figure out the plot. Whenever the protagonist got in the tight spot, he apparated out of it with a flash and a bang. The 1920's costumes and sets were nicely done. But I fell asleep before it was over.
The Wall St Journal had a piece the other day about how poorly movie tickets are selling this summer. This movie is one reason for that.
