I have read the seventh book multiple times now, and it is most definitely my favorite in the series. This movie was beautifully made. The stunning visual effects throughout the movie helps you to really feel the emotions of the characters. As it fits well with the book, there is a very somber tone throughout the entire movie, with a few very intense action scenes to keep your attention through the long playtime of two and a half hours.
Sadly, i missed the 6th movie coming out, and haven't gotten around to watching it. The first installment of the 7th movie however has made me want to watch the 6th very badly.
