Remarkable Finale

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2011)

There was a lot of wand waving going on in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2. Although I haven't read any of the books, or seen all the eight movies, this film was remarkably well done.
Except for the 3D. Watching this movie in an IMAX format was great, but since the film is mostly in a dark, shadowy setting, seeing it in the third dimension makes it look more dim.
Superb performances that didn't disappoint. Especially from the older members of the British acting fraternity.
After ten years, in this final film, the evolving maturity of the characters seemed natural, especially since all the actors have steadfastly committed themselves to the franchise, playing their characters right to the end.
A good mix of serious dramatic moments, action, humor and sadness. Sad that the story comes to an end, and that maybe we'll never see these three famous wand wavers together again.
Recommend seeing this movie, one of the best of the year, and in 2D.
