Pure Perfection

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2011)

This movie has literally completed my childhood.
Growing up reading the books and watching the movies allows me to be as critically cruel as I want when reviewing this film. And, baring in mind Deathly hallows is my favourite of the lot, I felt it met (and surpassed!) my every expectation.
The movie kick-starts into action and within the first 30 minutes chills were already crawling through my body. The film will have you laughing, sighing, crying and applauding from start to finish. The first thing I looked out for was how different it was going to be from the book - But there were hardly any changes! And ,to be fair, the ones that were made were actually even better than what I remember; they fitted perfectly with the fast pace of the movie.
David Yates creates this visually STUNNING masterpiece; the build up to the final fight (when they were casting spells to protect the castle)was phenomenal to watch and generally the cinematography was just perfect (especially in 3D).
The only flaw I found was that the movie was a little insensitive at certain scenes and I felt that David should have given just 5 more minutes to acknowledge some of the losses of the war. But other than that, this movie honestly will please all. For the true 'I've-read- every-book-a-hundred-times' fans, to the little kids who've now grown up, still wishing they received an acceptance letter by owl - This movie will not disappoint!
10 out of 10.
