As all book made movies are, it was not as good as the book. There were things missing, like Harry straightening Dumbledore's glasses. But it compensated! Beautiful special effects, excellent acting (esspecially for Snape, Ron, Malfoy and Slughorn). The humour was good, plenty of appropriate comic relief. When it was dark, it was VERY dark; though they captured the depressing epic parts beautifully, it should have been more ominous overall. I'm going to go see it again!
