Beautiful but boring

Rating: 7/10 (19 November 2010)

The problem of the Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is evident from the title: Part 1. There is no climax in the movie. The story is left inconclusive as it should be since it will be concluded in Part 2. I could understand if Part 2 will be released within 4 to 6 weeks so that we can watch them back to back. Now we will probably forget about the despair that the trio experienced and Part 2 will be baseless. The main problem of the all HP movies were the unclarity of the reason of the evil ones. I did not read any of the books but just watching the films I never got the mega plan of Valdermort. Why he was evil, why he was killing all these people? And more importantly why all these people are following him. Now we have a better idea. Valdermort is the Adolf Hitler of the wizards. But still, Hitler and Nazis had a socio-economic motive. We do not understand why these bad guys do not like the others. However, I must add this is a very beautiful movie. The scenes, the emotions and the character development is very successful. It feels more like a European art movie than a Hollywood blockbuster. This is a general trend. The story was also secondary in Avatar. You must watch the movie if you are familiar with the series but do not expect too much from the story. I really hope that the DVD will be available before Part 2 release so that we can refresh our mind before watching it. Finally, I believe the scene that Harry and Hermoine was making out was unnecessary and too graphic. This is still a children movie and it was too much for 7 year-old.
