And I think that's the best move they could've made, because had they tried to cater to everyone (assuming that's even possible without altering the book's plot) then - well it'd be a trainwreck no doubt. But pleasing the fans, the core demographic, that's most fitting.<br /><br />And it was great. The visuals are even better than HP6, whatever people may say about the film itself. The trio are putting in their strongest performances yet.<br /><br />If anything felt out of place, it was:<br />1) that weird awkward Harry-Hermione dance scene.<br />2) the fact that somebody did NOT die at the end (since the review lacks spoilers, I won't say who - but honestly I think at this stage putting a spoiler alert on anything Harry Potter is redundant and fruitless).<br /><br />Other than that, well...given that Part 2 obviously has all the better parts, I'm looking forward even more to that - if Part 1 is any indication, they'll likely nail it.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171152477267754603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-15818489627351550372010-12-01T17:49:35.197-05:002010-12-01T17:49:35.197-05:00I was wondering if I'll get a review of this m...I was wondering if I'll get a review of this movie on this site. And I'm extremely happy and grateful that you thought about putting it out here, Billie Doux staff writers. So big thanks at the beginning! :)<br /><br />Secondly I want to say that I just loved this movie!! It did a great job at capturing the spirit of the book and I was amazed at how close to the original this adaptation was. The last two movies left me wondering if David Yates cares at all about the subject matter and I was extremely happy to see that if given a reasonable amount of time he really does. :)<br />I think that this one was the best of them all and I enjoyed every minute of it! :)<br /><br />I have a lot of hope towards "part 2" and I think it will be really spectacular.<br /><br />I guess that's all I wanted to post. <br />If you're able to read Polish I invite you to visit <a href="http://superkaczy.blog.pl/nowhere-is-safe,15138790,n" rel="nofollow">my site</a>, where I wrote few things more (I'll think about translating it and putting it out here for those who can't read my "exotic" language) ;)<br /><br />Thanks again for a nice review. :)<br />MikeMikehttp://superkaczy.blog.plnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-45087235239236545462010-12-01T16:58:28.484-05:002010-12-01T16:58:28.484-05:00I was soo relieved after watching this movie!

I was happy that all the major scenes were in the movie. I cringed when Bellatrix was interrogating Hermoine, I cried at the events on the beach of Shell Cottage, I laughed at Luna and her Father at the wedding. I was so pleased.<br /><br />Great review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-5260405086854783882010-11-30T21:42:24.721-05:002010-11-30T21:42:24.721-05:00The tone is certainly bleak.When I was watching, I...The tone is certainly bleak.When I was watching, I was constantly reminded of one of my top 5 all time favorite movie, "No country for old men".

Without Part 2, it's all a bit of a downer, but when the two are eventually put together, the tone should (hopefully) even out.Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-44406069925781819722010-11-30T15:38:30.659-05:002010-11-30T15:38:30.659-05:00Lovely review, Sandra.

Part of it was the bleakness of the story and the demise of some of the story's best loved characters. I did tear up a few times during the movie. So I guess it's an effective adaptation of the book.<br /><br />I loved that by the end you were left with the unmistakable feeling that the bad guys were winning. I liked the way they shot the onscreen battles, too -- which bodes well for the final battle when it eventually arrives. I think it'll look spectacular.Paul Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01979646022056755322noreply@blogger.com
