Good ending, Fantastic Franchise

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2011)

I was looking forward to see this movie (like many people) so i watched it at the first day. Deathly Hallows part 2 is one of my favorite Harry Potter films. I was blown away by the effect and of course the atmosphere of the movie. Part 1 had me feeling like it was building a momentum for a great ending, however i still had the feeling while watching part 2. It was as if something great was yet to come, but sadly it didn't really come. Example: There weren't any great big fights (like the showdown between Voldemort and Dumbledore in Order Of The Phoenix) and the usage of spells was pretty much the same as in all the hp movies (with some exceptions). But the thing that bothers me the most was the ending, it felt as if the last couple of minutes were just something that had to be done, after the moment we all have bee waiting for(between Harry and Voldemort)it felt as if the rest was just a necessity of a couple of minutes. for example: there wasn't much talking between the characters/ no praising harry or anything. and there was hardly any respect for the fallen "soldiers". Generally speaking this doesn't mean that it lets u down, however one can not help but feel a little bit of disappointment after reading the book. But I have to say that the reason for this is most likely the duration of the film, the book is just far the detailed to show everything in the movie.
But there were also a lot of great things about the movie. Like early mentioned the special effects, The acting, and i think Rickman (Severus Snape) did perhaps the best job. Having seen the true colors of Snape, with pretty much confidence i can say that he is one of the true heroes of the series, and grew out to be one of the peoples favorites as well. Pretty much all the questions are answered (no plot holes) , and of course the Harry Potter feeling.
Despite my stern review I have to say that this is a MUST watch movie that cannot be missed.
