Pretty good.

Rating: 8/10 (16 July 2011)

My husband and I saw the movie last night. It was good but a little disappointed, given all the hype. A couple of things
1) My husband found the loose ends were all too conveniently wrapped up. I think this may be how the movie skipped (rightfully) over the numerous backplots.
2) I don't normally compare the movies with the books because I usually have read them way in advance. However, the scene where Harry is looking over all those who died in the Hogwarts battle was much more emotional. I think their deaths were a little rushed.
3) The movie flowed very nicely tempo wise, but I found it lacked a bit of the atmosphere of fear and urgency that the other movies (esp 7.1) portrayed so well.
Don't get me wrong, we were (and the entire cinema) were captivated for the entire 2 hours. However, they could have taken an extra 20 mins to add in some emotion and elaborate some scenes or have found a way to make just one movie.
