Nothing but disappointing.

Rating: 3/10 (30 March 2014)

It's been 3 years now since I first saw this, but after the very strong "Deathly Hallows Pt. One," this movie came off as a rushed and incompetently written and directed mess (ironic considering they directed part one). I'm shocked J.K. Rowling put the stamp of approval on this heap.
This review won't be long because my complaints with the movie are as follows: Dumbledore's back story was given no attention (hugely important to the story). the Battle of Hogwarts (pivotal in the book) was glossed over with a few sweeping panoramic shots. Finally, Voldemort and Bellatrix's death was ridiculously anti-climactic and stupid- looking. I was ready to walk out when Voldemort did a Microsoft Powerpoint transition, but for whatever reason I stayed.
The epilogue was "cute," but still couldn't excuse the mess that was the rest of the movie. I know they were strapped for time, but this movie seriously did nothing but tick me off. I remember people shaking their heads as they were leaving the theater because they thought the ending was so bad.
