you are left with many questions

Rating: Null/10 (18 July 2011)

First, I would like to state that I just recently viewed the entire Harry Potter series and I got hook. I haven't read or even seen the book yet. But I suppose I need to read the entire book to fully appreciate this epic movie. When I finished watching the preceding Harry Potter movies I was able to grasp and enjoy the plot with a lot of twist. Thus, I was determined to watch the ending movie DH2. But when the movie was done. I tried to feel the atmosphere of the movie house and everyone was quiet. I didn't even hear a whisper or a hush of their excitement watching the final saga of Harry Potter. I was seated to a group of people who was chatting about the story and from the sound of it they have read the book prior to seeing the movie. There are movies that puts you in a position wherein the movie takes you on a journey and it carries you to a ride. I would describe this feel like a ferris wheel. It peaks when you go the top but then drops again then goes up and the cycle goes on.
It was as if the director was putting anticipation on to the viewers and not the other way around wherein the films give you a full view of the outcome and satisfaction but it lets you crave on it and wish for more (may sound vague but that's what I felt). The overall pacing was awful as in my point of view the movie didn't peaked at the right time and the ending was too anti-climactic.
The actors performed at par with the exception of Ralph Fiennes, who did a marvelous job with being the villain Lord Voldemort. I don't think the story is bad. I just think that movie could have been better considering there are two parts for this installment. 5 of 10 stars.
