I've yet to read any of the books so all of you busy/non-ambitious HP people out there, this is for you. It is mysterious as heck in the beginning [others i think are referring to this as the slow part of the movie, but nevertheless! it's no doubt interesting!] It's very dramatic, and even more interesting to me at 20 years of age to see the development of the actors and their characters over the years to present. It's fantastic. This movie really tells a lot of background information about, you know who ::gasp::, and the strategy of the dark lighters revealed. Character development throughout the movie is also very interesting. But overall I highly reccommend the movie, Thanks.
