Synopsis: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" is a much-anticipated motion picture event to be told in two full-length parts. The long-feared war has begun and Voldemort's Death Eaters seize control of the Ministry of Magic and even Hogwarts, terrorizing and arresting anyone who might oppose them. But the one prize they still seek is the one most valuable to Voldemort: Harry Potter. Harry's only hope is to find the Horcruxes before Voldemort finds him. As he searches for clues, he uncovers the legend of the Deathly Hallows. And if the legend turns out to be true, it could give Voldemort the ultimate power he seeks. No longer just a boy, Harry Potter is drawing ever closer to the ultimate battle with Voldemort.

    Long, dark and not so hot.

    By far, this is one of the most action-packed of the series to date. The running and magical battles seemed to be non-stop… until we got to the last third of the film. I nearly fell asleep when Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson), and Ron (Rupert Grint) were hunting for the Horcruxes, teleporting from place to place and waiting for their magical batteries to recharge in-between. Though I understand that they’re teenagers and meant to wallow in self-pity or ego from time to time, I felt like I was watching any episode of Days of Our Lives or 90120… I suspect that the dip towards the end was due to the fact that they had to split the movie into two parts, but still – I was hoping for a little more excitement heading to the end of part 1 and didn’t get it.

    In truth it's a bit hard t judge this film without seeing the second part as it's essentially one long film, and while I wish this one had been better, I think it did a pretty decent job of setting up the last instalment.

    It has its moments. A little more light would have been nice as it's a bit hard to see, but overall keeps with the spirit and tone of the novel. The pacing is a bit off, but it's two films as one, so that might be better with #2

    Well done! This was the best Potter movie so far IMHO. Can be a tad confusing, so best to brush up on Potter knowledge prior to watching.

    This was too dark. Not the story. The screen.
