While this movie doesn't have all the creativity and splendor of the other installments, it nonetheless is satisfying to true HP fans. If you were unfamiliar with the storyline it would seem to creep along during the long middle section in the woods when it is just the three protagonists, but for those of us prepared for this segment of the story, it was immensely satisfying. I am always pleased how closely the movies stick to the book, in terms of plot and dialogue. The segment in the Ministry is brilliant.
