So I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, but before I even went to the cinema I had made 2 grave mistakes
1. I had read the books, notoriously ever Harry Potter movie has fell waaaay short of the book
2. I let myself get carried away with how awesome the trailer looked. I had such a huge expectation for it that it had a lot to live up to if I was to walk away satisified.
Yeh, we're not really taking you seriously anymore, Vold |
My result, not as much of a let down as Transformers 3, but I still walked out of it feeling short changed.
And everyones been complaining at me, saying it was the best/ most emotional film ever, so I'll explain why it was good, (easily the best Potter) but why didn't live up to the hype for me.
It ticked most of the boxes up until the end
*Good action scenes,
*Emma Watson,
*Sweet sequence with no dialogue during the final battle where they're running through Hogwarts and there's big monster things everywhere
*Emma Watson
*Snape was bad ass
*Emma Watson
*Snape's death was nicely handled
*Plot moved nice and fast
oh and Emma Watson was in it so that made it win =D
BUT
*Ron, did he have more than about 3 lines in it?
*When Harry tells R+H he's away to get killed, Hermione hugs him, Ron stands there like the gormless numpty he is. Great acting there Grint, fantastic
*CGI on the Dragon thing was pretty average
*I couldn't keep up with who owned what wand, who disarmed who, which wand worked for who, which wand was secretly sleeping with someone's sister's wand, it was just scandalous
*Just where did Neville get that sword?
*Were we supposed to know what that blood red turd thing in Harry's death sequence was?
*The final duel, awesome as it was, after it was over, no one seemed to care.
Voldemort's dead, finally, after 8 movies, even though everyone seemed to think Harry would die, and yet as he's walking past them, they give kind of half ass smiles or just plain don't acknowledge him.
I mean seriously, this was so anti climactic
*And then the 19 years later part.
Well done to the CGI people on Harry and Ron, they looked great.
Fair play with Ginny, but you might have overdone it a bit there lads, she's only meant to be about 35 ish.
And Malfoy just looks ridiculous, like an eccentric grandad
And I'm sorry but was there not time to CGI Hermione (however the hell you spell her name)?
An older Harry seen here, along with his granny, Ginny |
Ron will always look like a moron |
We might be able to get away with just cutting her hair a bit |
A new character, sex pest uncle Malfoy |
My 10 word sum up?
At times epic but anti climactic, Ron still can't act
Don't agree? Do agree? Let me know, leave a comment!
