Harry Potter and the deathly hallows...I've mastered, five magicks
This review is on Harry Potter and the deathly hallows. In being a fan of the books and movie franchise I know as I am sure many of you know as well what is supposed to happen. But it has been so long since I read the last book that I didn't remember some of the stuff in the movie. Which led me to believe that the director changed the story...but unlikely and my memory is becoming shit in my old age. The movie starts off with Harry saying good bye to his adopted family. The same with the other two main characters, then the action picks up immediately. The first few minutes were fast paced and exciting, good enough to get you to grab onto the armrest and hold on for the ride. But then hits a snails pace and drags on. I know its how it is supposed to go and is very necessary for the story. The conflicts and constant shifting of emotions were acted out well by the three actors. Possibly there best work to date. The setting of the movie is very dark, the mood is dark, even the lighting during the day is dark. And it fit the theme of the story very nicely, I thought I would get tired of the constant gloom but actually was quite appropriate. Even though they didn't get as far as I would have liked I still very much enjoyed the movie. As gritty as the settings were the comedy that was few and far between was a hit every time lighting the mood just enough to carry into the next scene. I give Harry Potter a 3 1/2 out of 4. The main characters aren't quite there with their acting abilities. But close enough to make this the best Harry Potter movie to date in my opinion. The only thing that bugged me was the audience. They were complaining about having to wait until July to find out what happens. Pick up the damn book! Are they so sloth like that they are too lazy to read? Give me a fucking break!
