I just went and saw Harry Potter today and boy was it an event. This movie is amazing and a great way to end of a fantastic tn year journey. The movie is the continuation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, it starts off exactly where the last left off. Which is great, but it feels like you are only watching half a movie. You don't feel the full satisfaction of the movie and it leaves an empty void while watching. However it does not take away from the experience and that feeling is lost the more you go through the film.
The visuals and battle scenes are done well, like you would expect from a Harry Potter film or a grand epic. The movie itself felt like an epic, where battles were going on left and right, body counts were more than expected. However I wish they had spent more time with some of the more major characters that lost their lives for Harry cause. They kind of just moved on after morning for about 2 seconds. But don't get me wrong I was tearing up on some of these scenes non the less.
The movie unravels some of the burning questions we had for the series such as Harry's past or what's the deal with Snape. It ties up everything well and throughout the film they pay homage to some of the older films.
The character are all the same Harry and the gang are just as likable as ever. The stand out actors in this film were Nevel and Voldemort. Nevel has changed a lot since the first movie and it shows in this movie. He gets some good screen time and he was a joy to watch. Voldemort was played very well and he was sinister. You could feel the danger this man posses. He is cold and evil. I wish the other villains were giving some more screen time.
The movie is a lot darker than the other Potter films, but still manages to put that good old Harry Potter humor in. However this movie is very heavy on emotions mainly because we know the film and journey is coming to an end.
Overall this film is great, the best films I've seen this year. This acting is spot on, jokes are handles well, and the visuals and battles are handle extremely well. I have no doubt that this film will get an Oscar nod for Best Picture.
I give Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part a 4.5/5 a amazing end to an amazing franchise.
