Saw it on Imax and loved it. The complexity of Harry's personality really shows now. Daniel expresses so much in subtle ways. His eyes tell a wealth of emotions.
This movie is paced very differently than the others. It does not stand alone as a feature. You really need to see the previous movies to understand the context. This jumps into place assuming the audience knows the back story. No time is wasted. It doesn't recount for newbies.
During much of the movie, the audience shares the frustration along with Harry, Ron and Hermione as they try to find their direction in a world that has shaken them to the core. The shell-shock is deeply experienced. I've seen other reviews that see this time as just boring drawn out scenes. But those who truly know these characters will be moved. The kids are wounded to their soul. There is no way to express that without letting the audience experience it with them. Be ready with a hanky. Even though you know the story, some of the scenes are heartbreaking. (Dobby)
There is action in this film but its not an action packed ride. The action that is there, however, is amazing and riveting. This isa movie that thrills and chills.
We were near the front of the line in the sold out showing. Even arriving 2 hrs early, we still were a bit back in line. Most people had a copy of the book and sat on the floor reading until showtime.
As the previous crowd came out, they were not saying much. We expected excited people coming out of the movie and instead they were somber. It concerned many of us in line that perhaps the movie wasn't very good. But as we exited the theatre ourselves, we were equally as quiet. Be prepared for an intense ending that leaves you catching your breath.
