Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (quick review)

In the words of Luna Lovegood:

Exceptionally ordinary

The good:
* Incredibly well done opening sequence
* Less contrived than the book
* Creepy and suspenseful, yet with some overall funny humor sold via the chemistry of the actors
* Great overall production as we have come to expect from Potter movies
* Tales of Beedle the Bard are told beautifully
* As little Dumbledore past as possible
* Really dark, it’s been said before each Potter that they are now darker, but it is true every time, Hallows just ups the ante a lot more than the previous entries

The bad:
* It’s long, real long, felt way longer than any previous Potter
* Basically a setup for part 2
* Many plotholes/conveniences from the books are still present
* Some shaky cam (even with quiet scenes) that are bad to watch in 2D and would have caused severe brain-damage in 3D
* Six Potters and a wedding nobody cares about (Quidditch worldcup all over again)
* Not enough Neville
* Sometimes too much like Lord of the Rings… my… precious….
