Ten is only because it's a HP movie. I had a lot of fun but....

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2010)

First i wanna say that this is not the best Harry Potter and that the only reason i gave it ten is because it's a Harry Potter movie. Don't get me wrong, this is a whole lot of fun and also the most faithful adaptation so far. Unfortunately, that's the problem right there. I'm not sure it was such a good idea to make two movies out of it. They found a part in the book that could be suitable as an ending and they decided to make two movies instead of one. That way they make more money and that way they stay more faithful to the material. However, that part they found good as an ending didn't work well as one. I would say that the only person to blame for this is David Yates. Even though i usually like him as a HP director and i appreciate and am very found of that dark tone that he brought to the series, with this one he made a big mistake. The final 'fight' scene was way too short and way too simple to be a 'final fight' scene. The entire movie would have been a lot better if it was made a bit differently. All needed to be done was to make it a bit slower, and by doing so longer, and a bit more with an attitude, so to say. The entire movie, because of it, really left a hollow impression. Either you read the books or not, you can just tell that it's not finished-that there's something missing.

Another thing i was disappointed with was Raplh Fiennes. I usually think he's brilliant as Voldemort, but in this movie he was way too silent and he wasn't imposing his character enough. I just didn't see that Voldemort's scary leadership in this movie as i did in HP 4 and 5. I don't know, once again, he was just too silent and unimposing to leave any sort of scary impression on me.

All in all, the movie was good and i had a lot of fun, but it think it would have worked a lot better with a bit more attitude.
