Falls short for expectations

Rating: 5/10 (18 April 2014)

In some cases it is unfair to compare a movie to the book from which it was adopted, but when you split a movie into two parts to get as much of the story onto the screen, I see no excuse for a bad adaptation. After waiting years for this finale and after reading all the books, I was sure nothing could be bad about this, until I started watching that is. The first half hour - hour or so is not only quite accurate, but also really good, but as the Battle of Hogwats begins everything go downhill. It is all just a blur of people running around screaming and shouting inaudible curses at each other until all the character you should care about, but can't in this mess, are dead and not even after the battle has ended do we get to see what happened to all the people we worried about and that at least I felt sorry for while reading the book.
