Possibly the weakest in the franchise; still a must watch for fans

Rating: 7/10 (6 March 2017)

Directed by David Yates
Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint
Overall: This movie is definitely the weakest of the franchise but I would still recommend it. It works as a setup but not as a movie in and off itself.
Good:
1. Daniel Radcliffe was superb as Harry Potter and brings new levels of emotion to the renowned character.
2. Both Emma Watson and Rupert Grint do great jobs as Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley respectively.
3. The story of the main trio hunting down the Seven Horcruxes was a neat idea though could have been better done here.
4. Across both Deathly Hallows pt 1 & 2, it contains one of the best individual story lines in the series. Sadly, it was poorly done in this movie.
5. I love the editing and the lighting in the movie and it seriously packs a punch in dire moments.
6. Excellent music.
7. Superb special effects.
8. The movie is primarily character driven and starts to unleash a cauldron of emotion bubbling over the course of 6 movies.
9. Incredible opening.
Bad:
1. I think the story was pretty poorly executed.
2. Some scenes could have been shortened, or even left out entirely.
3. Very, very underwhelming action segments in the movie. It's a character driven movie but that doesn't excuse lazy action.
4. Every action scene was very poorly filmed.
7/10
