Excellent

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2011)

I saw this on the 2nd july at a preview and was really really impressed. my favourites of the series up till now have been the third one directed by Alfonso Cuaron, and the half blood prince (6th one). I was tentative about the 3d but actually it worked brilliantly and made the pictures even crisper. This film is a great achievement, sometimes i have considered these films as sell- outs, only looking for doing well at the box office, but they have never failed to entertain and this one makes the characters and their motives much more interesting and deeper.
The acting from some is still not to my liking and not up to the standard it should be. For instance alan rickman seems to be making fun of his own particular way of talking by ramping up every syllable, and rupert grint is a very mediocre actor who they still give these terribly clichéd lines.
The ending is good but i had some better ideas which i wont say now as to not give spoilers.
in general though, the film has a great visual style, fluid storytelling. the world created feels more real than ever and the characters make the film compelling.
well worth seeing and the best of all hp films.
