Harry Potter finds himself with guns bolted to his hands and forced to fight for his life in an underground death match broadcast for an online audience of millions. The action and comedy are over-the-top, stylish, but surprisingly dull after the first few shootouts. All the noise and fury is numbing after a while and felt simply repetitions and boring. The best action flicks pace the action scenes so each subsequent action sequence is bigger and better than the last. That was always the downfall of the first "Blade" film, where the opening sequence was by far the best action set piece of the film and everything else that followed paled in comparison. Still, Daniel Radcliff is good in the lead and provides the best moments outside of the noise and fury, such as when he's trying to put on his pants with guns bolted to his hands or simply trying to open a door. More focus on comedy and character development would have helped this film greatly. Overall it's not terrible, but it could have been a whole lot better.
