A Somewhat strong start, sluggish middle and strong finsh. The movie did not flow, and was a little disjointed, jumping from one thing to another without much explaination. For those of us who read the book, it was easier to follow the plot. The friends that were with me, had not read the book and I had to explain to them what was happening and why. Some important explainations should have been added instead of having to watch everyone stare at each other for terribly long periods to show that they were lonely and bored looking for the horcrux
This movie was not up to the Harry Potter Standards. Too much was cut from the book and it lost continuity and looked very choppy. Many Key elements were cut and the movie suffered. The characters seemed very underdeveloped. Also, the movie was billed as IMAX 3 D and only a very small portion of the movie was in 3 D. It seems to me that this was false advertising. You pay extra and only get a short teaser - no where did it say that the movie was not all going to be in 3-D. I felt ripped off
