A Very Disappointing Finale

Rating: Null/10 (21 July 2011)

I think the one saving grace for this film is that it is part of the Harry Potter series, thus it gets a certain degree of protection from the critics. For me personally though I felt rather let down.
Some parts of the film are fantastic don't get me wrong, but I felt it was spoilt by certain scenes. For example the 'dramatic' scenes involving Neville made me cringe, whilst other scenes left me laughing when I should have been frightened or on edge.
The icing on the cake was the end scene. How a few bad shirts and a change in hairstyles/facial hair can constitute nearly two decades of ageing is beyond me, to the point where I left the cinema literally laughing. If it was meant to be a comedy then I apologise.
Id recommend it for the youngsters, but as an adult I simply could not take it seriously. Personally a disappointing end to a franchise that dominated my childhood years.
