Generally, the movie was good and flowing over all until the very end. I had no large complaints about some portions of the key story being left out or changed, but I am VERY disappointed in the way the film ended. By leaving the final conflict out of the movie and downplaying the invasion of Hogwarts, it strips the story of key emotional element and leaves the audience with an anti-climatic ending.
This movie way exceeded my expectations. It was consistent to the tradition, but gave itself space to expand and grow beyond what has already been done. The effects were...WOW! From beginning to end, on the edge of my seat, caught up in the characters and story. The actors were all well chose for their parts. I LOVED this movie!
Excellent movie. Stayed as faithful to original source material as possible with few compromises. The story of the film captures the intricacies of character and narative of the graphic novel. Excellent effects. All in all, a very good time.
