Accelerating, thrilling, but yet, disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (17 July 2011)

To give a damn comment about how wholly boring the movie is, is an exaggerated act, but to really praise the movie for its seeming 'loyalty' and exceptional performance is, in all, an unworthy deed.
The movie was, as said above, accelerating. The pace at which the Gringotts Battle happens is thrilling, and yet it still keeps your mind fluid and fluent with all the details. That is one thumbs-up for the movie.
Another thumbs-up is the scene wherein the degree of horror in the Hogwarts Battle is climatically shown. Yes, it shows all the horror, and all the bad. It also shows emotional scenes of death (however little time is devoted to such moving scenes as Fred's body laying beside Ron who was weeping incessantly). Harry though, seems not to care about the Lupins--I either missed it, or did not see Harry show any emotional side to that one. Talking about Lupins, first thumbs-down is how Ted Remus Lupin is omitted.
Another thumbs-down is the fact that Prof Dumbledore's story is completely forgotten, fallen into oblivion, or so to speak. The reason as to why Harry survived the Killing Curse should not be (as I interpret it) that the Elder Wand is truly his, but yet no question or answer was given by Dumbledore or by Harry about such matters when they meet up @ King's Cross. Speaking of King's Cross, flashy lights did not help to lower the loss of Albus' messages like how Lily's blessing is in He-who-must-not-be-named. Kids cannot help but ask questions about that.
Overall, I give the movie a 6/10, which I think is already a high mark to all that are left out. The movie, with JK acting as a co-producer, did not live up to my expectations.
P/s. I do not really understand how, of all things, Harry Potter is SO unpopular amongst kids cuz I saw absolutely no folks staring back @him @King's Cross 19yrs-later-scene. Again, the battle-won thingy scene was unexpectedly low in emotion (no bursting into tears thingy, no cheering, etc.)~~~
