Starting to get boring

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2011)

Well, I can understand that if you have read all the books and love Harry Potter, this movie is really-really good. But for the casual movie goer, the pace was slow and the story was messy.
Our three heroes sit a long time in a tent. Then they jump somewhere, you get some action, and then you are back in the tent. And then you repeat this for the next two hours. And during all this time, basically only three things advances the story; you learn how to destroy the Horcruxes, you find and destroy one and you learn that Voldemort is after the three Deathly Hallows. Two and half hours for this! It smells like milking the last drop before the good thing ends.
I haven't read any of the books, but I have just spend a week watching all the movies for a second or third time. The first two were OK stand-alones to familiarize you with the story, the 3-5 really kicked the story onwards and I really loved them, but this and the previous one... leaves me quite empty. Especially now after watching them for the second time. You could have probably merged the 6, 7.1 and 7.2 to one exiting three hour movie.
