Two and a half hours wasn't enough to complete the final Harry Potter film, and I am glad! With the truncated films for "Order" and "Prince" I am glad WB decided to do this one right.
Now did it suck to have the movie end where it did you might ask? The answer is, no. (Spoiler alert) the film ended at the darkest point it could. Evil is triumphing, heros are dying, and Voldie hag acquired his weapon to kill Potter and the heros bury one of their own.
Not since the Empire Strikes Back and Revenge of the Sith have movie goers felt so hopeless, has evil prevailed.
Enjoy the bitterness if defeat, Hogworts fans, for the final act, while still dark, end deadly, will good finally triumph.
As far as the film in general, it tended to drag a bit while the heros jumped from location to location deciding what to do next (same beef I had with the book), but I understand why it was done in both places.
Acting was great and audio visual was superb in IMAX. For Harry Potter movie and books fans, this film should not disappoint!
