Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2- "It All Ends" Well

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2011)

As a fan of the Harry Potter franchise (Books & Films), I must say that this absolutely was a fantastic film. It is rewarding in all ways; dialog and acting, visual effect, camera angles, the score etc. This movie begins right where the other left off (SPOILER!!!!): Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) breaks into Albus Dumbledore's (Michael Gambon) to obtain The Elder Wand, the most powerful wand ever created. After that, the Warner Bros. logo appears and Part 2 ensues.
Our heroes are right where we left them at (SPOILERS!!!!!: at Shell Cottage. They plan to break into Gringotts to get another Horcrux (magical object that conceals a part of Lord Voldemort's soul). Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermoine (Emma Watson), and Ron (Rupert Grint) do so with the help of Griphook (Warwick Davis), a goblin that works in Gringotts. Now, I'm going to give too much away. After they do what they have to do, they go to Hogsmeade, where they are being searched for by Death Eaters.
Now, to Hogwarts. Our heroes go to Hogwarts to find it has been turned into Auswitz (A Nazi Death Camp). And the new headmaster? Professor Severus Snape (Alan Rickman). ABout Alan Rickman, he steals the show. I found his character to be very dynamic, and heart breaking. His portrayal of Snape is the best work he's done. You actually feel bad for his character. His lines that he says after before his death, (SPOILERS!!!!) "You have your mother's eyes..." are heart wrenching. And then his memories. The memories of Snape make the rest of the movie anti-climactic. Alan Rickman deserves to be given the Best Supporting Actor Oscar.
But, anyway, the battle ensues, and it is amazing. The visual effects are amazing. In the end, the final showdown between Potter and Voldemort, is very good. I enjoyed how they (SPOILERS!!!!!!) kept moving around the castle, battling until they got into the courtyard. It is a truly emotional film with a great cast. I personally think it's the Best Picture this year. 11/10 is my rating. And it's well deserved.
