Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 (2011)
The worst film adaptation of them all (a specific/subjective review for fans of the series but really does speak the truth)
I don't even think its close to how poorly this ended off the series especially in its false interpretation of the book's sequences. I truly did enjoy the film for the first half till about three quarters in. In the theater you are of course excited, its part 2, its the end of it all and the film starts and progressively keeps its frightened but epic tone that it needs to build it into the battle that is inevitably coming. Acting is good and all, good cinematography as usual with interesting cameras and the great makeup as usual. But that part of the film is NOT what ended the final chapter of the era that is Harry Potter. The fact there is no dialogue nor anyone watching during the final battle between the 2 of them (not to mention, no "expelliarmus" to finish Him off) is just not right at all. There is no dramatic ending or any kind of serious film making being done in the final 2- 4 scenes. Its just quick shots of the three/Neville fighting off Nagini and Voldemort for a minute and then its just harry and him in a quick draw with no talking between them despite that being probably the most exciting time in the books history!!!! This is just unbelievably frustrating and disappointing to me as I watch DH2 for the 2nd and 3rd times. After watching and during watching this film I don't feel as a viewer at all that Harry is finally about to end it, finally going to literally save the world from the worst person to ever supposedly live. No drama built up, NO ANYTHING. All we get is harry, ron, and hermoine standing next to each other as if it was any old adventure they've been on, after a simple 5 second battle between harry and a mortal version of Voldemort. In my opinion as a Harry fan, JUST AWFUL:
2 MOST ESSENTIAL PARTS THESE MORONS MISSED
The final battle, with everyone watching at the very end as Harry schools him on how him and Dumbledore ultimately outsmarted him and had the advantage of Snape all along. In addition to the lackluster battle scenes amongst the death eaters and Harrys army. Molly Weasley comes in with a great victory but thats all we can get the entire time! I mean seriously, you can show quick shots of Harry looking at these people for a split second but cant show me a few quick battles as you realize its literally a war going on for Harrys defense.
The very end pre-epilogue! Harry just breaks the Elder wand (which Im sure was very confusing to those who only saw the movies, as no good, real explanation is given to its lineage) instead of returning like REAL HARRY WOULD HAVE to Dumbledores grave after showing off its real powerful talent after fixing his own original wand that he likes and wants more.
I don't see what is so hard about a heart felt, Harry Potter F**kin Did It, he is the humble hero we've spent years of our lives with, movie that this franchise deserved to end with.
