Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Parts 1 and 2
Directed by: David Yates
The first installment of the two party Harry Potter finds the bespectacled wizard (Daniel Radcliffe) walking away from his last year at Hogwats's to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes, putting an end to Voldemort's bid for immortality. But with Harry's beloved Dumbledore dead and Voldemort's unscrupulous Death Eaters on the loose, the world is more dangerous than ever.
In the second installment of the two part conclusion to the uberpopular Harry Potter series, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe)and his best friends, Ron (Rupert Grint)and Hermione (Emma Watson), continue their quest to vanquish the evil Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) once and for all. Just as things begin to look hopeless for the young wizards, Harry discovers a trio of magical objects that endow him with powers to rival Voldemort's formidable skills.
This review is reviewing both part one and part two of the final installment of the Harry Potter series as one. Due to the fact that the novel of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was one book, I thought it only fair to judge this as one film.
In comparison with the other films, this is by far the best one. Not only because the actors are 100% secure in their roles (to the point of feeling like they are the characters), but also because the final showdown (epic wizard battle) was done extraordinary well. Reading it amazed me, but seeing it in front of you was quite impressive as well. Since the imagination is more fertile that any film can be, the fact that the got the battle so close to the novel was remarkable. Yes, there were some issues (it wasn't as apparent when Tonks and Lupid died), but they did they best they could.
As compared to the novel, I do like the novel more (and would rate the novel at five snails), but isn't that always the case between the book and the movie? As good as a film can get, it never fully measures up to the novel.
Which is why, even though I recommend this to any Potter fan or anyone who has seen the other movies, it's getting four and a half and not five snails. Movies just cannot do books the full justice they deserve. Even if they do have an epic wizard battle.
My rating: Four and a half out of five snails.
