The IMAX experience at Shaw Lido is super cool! The screen is really big and you can really feel like you are in the movie. I'm glad our seats are quite near to the centre but wish that we could have sit further back. It does get a bit disorientating to concentrate when the screen is that big.
Second time watching Deathly Hallows Part 2 and I still cried at the same scenes. I just can't help my tears.
The first half of the film is more true to the book than the later half, I can conclude that now. The Gringotts break-in and escape are very enjoyable. But when the trio reached Hogsmeade, that's when things start to speed up and get all mix up.
How does Ollivander know about the Deathly Hallows at all? Most people don't even heard of them. He only knows that the Elder Wand exists but not that it is one of the Hallows.
I feel that the whole battle is altogether too rushed.
Harry shouldn't have come out to challenge Snape like that. Like I say before, students should have been send to safety with those opting to fight staying on. The Order of the Phoenix should not arrive at that timing! It's really too fast-pace.
The idea of Harry not hiding from everyone didn't sit well with me. He is in plain sight when he wasn't suppose to let people know.
Why wasn't Hagrid sad that Harry has been killed? He should be in grief or at least, sniffling when Narcissa announced that Harry was dead. A bit of emotion would set the morbid scene right.
Why was Voldemort hugging Draco? That's an awkward scene. Like what a fan said "Voldemort doesn't hug people!"
Bellatrix and Voldemort getting blown to pieces is funny and unncessary. They should just drop to the floor and die.
Why didn't anyone cheer when Harry killed Voldemort?! The boy-who-lived just finished off You-Know-Who, for Merlin's sake! You would have thought that people would be a little more grateful and happy about that. That scene wouldn't even need lines, just cheering, whooping and hugging Harry.
The scene where Harry broke the Elder Wand still irritates me. So what now, he is going to use Draco's wand forever?
Now, I know I nit-pick a lot, I practically break apart the whole movie. I can take heart that many fans did so too. We want to see what we read in the book, that's all. It's that simple.
Despite all my complaints, I still think this is one of the better movies in this franchise.
I just feel, like so many other fans, that this last instalment could be better, longer and more detailed. I heard that critics generally like it but haven't you notice, critics do not represent the fan-base. Our opinion always contradict with theirs and I mean, always. To each his own, anyway.
The fandom is the one bringing in the money that guarantee the success of the franchise. In layman terms, the fandom is the money-tree. Who else would go for a movie multiple times?
It have the potential to be the best film in the series, but somehow the crew ruined that chance.
