best harry potter film and best film of the year by far!

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2011)

now i'm not going to summarize what happened in the last part, because everyone knows what happened already.the first 20 minutes in deathly hallows part 2 start with out 3 heroes in the shell cottage planning to break into Gringotts for one of the final Horcruxes. if your going in expecting some huge heist scene, your going to be a little disappointed. its really short, which is fine because really all anyone honestly cares about is getting to Hogwarts. once they reach Hogwarts stuff starts to go down. Snape is aware of harry's presence on the grounds, death eaters are everywhere. this isn't the Hogwarts you remember 2 films ago. and thats when we really get into the thick of all of the action. some people complained that the battle of Hogwarts isn't very battle like. and thats a lie, the battle of Hogwarts has some of the best cgi effects that you'll see in a movie. from the giant mountain trolls, to the death eaters blowing apart the sections of the castle. but its not about the action its all about the emotion that is in this crazy battle. we see some of the lead characters laying face first in the rubble. but the most disturbing part of the battle was lavender brown having her neck chewed on by
Fenrir Grayback. the best part of the movie in my opinion, was Snape's memories. now I've read all the books dozens of times. and this part was one of the best parts of the whole series. Snapes death was five times more brutal in the movie then in the book. and once harry reaches the Pensieve we see some of the best scenes in the whole movie. Alan Rickman gives a powerful performance as Snape. we see things in the movie that weren't in this section of the book. and thats a good thing. the most memorable moment is when Snape finds Lilly's body and just holds her while crying.Alan Rickman definitely deserves a best supporting actor nomination for this movie. last few things to touch on: another thing that was changed for the better was the final fight between harry and Voldemort. that moment in the trailer when him and harry jump of the castle looked stupid and unnecessary, but in the film it fit perfectly and worked. now the last part I'm going to talk about is the epilogue. i was worried whether or not they cut it, and thankfully they didn't. it's pretty good, it's a bitter-sweet moment, because we know we'll never see these characters again, and the cue to one of my favorite john Williams songs(leaving Hogwarts) from the end of the first film got me choked up, its such a beautiful song and it fit perfectly. all-in-all this is the best potter movie, and the best film of the year by far. one more thing,there is an easter egg in the movie, I'm not going to tell you what it is. But if you look to the far right over harry's shoulder when he's looking at Ravenclaw's diadem, you'll know what I'm talking about.
