breathedirt Review of Voldemort: Origins of the Heir

Voldemort: Origins of the Heir (2018 Video)

I couldn't even watch the whole "movie"

[1/10 · 15 January 2018]

This was a waste of my time. I was so looking forward to this as the movie Harry Potter 6 left out very important details and the experience was terrible. The "movie" starts with a girl with a weird accent fighting against Soviet wizards in balaclavas (it's like Half Life 2 with wands) who is then captured and interrogated by a Soviet general. During the "interrogation," we are "awarded" with several scenes related to a character named Tom Riddle that have very little to do with the actual Harry Potter story. Ridiculous dialogs, abysmal and unrealistic screenplay, very poor acting. To me, this whole "movie" seems like an attempt to parasite on the well-known brand. Anyone who gave more than 4 stars to it here is either one of the movie creators desperately trying to influence the overall rating or someone paid to do so. It's as if I decided to draw attention to a 52-min long garbage I was going to make by naming it Dumbledore: Rise of the Powerful Wizard, then placed the movie in the outer space (you would see aliens with wands) and once in a while, I would show you scenes with two men named Grindelwald and Dumbledore looking for the Elder wand. They labeled the movie "a fan-made movie." Fans of what exactly are they? Fans of black metal? Well, the character called Wiglaf bears some resemblance to the said genre, I must say. At any rate, do not even bother to watch this. I know that if you are really a fan of HP and you see a "movie" that has "Voldemort" in its name, it's hard not to hit the "Play" button but I think you'd be better off watching any of the shallow TV shows that are currently on TV. I wonder, what was the original motive behind making this? To label a worthless flick "Voldemort," attract people to movie theaters and get rich (because not everyone reads reviews and then, there are also parents with kids...)?
