Great movie until it stopped in the middle.

I aw Deathly Hallows Part 1 last night with my teenage son to whom I read every word of every HP book way back when. Scenes and settings were moody and iconic; I liked the movie's focus on and character development of Harry, Ron and Hermione as young adults, carrying forward their personal strengths and weaknesses. Settings in the Ministry of Magic were lavish and chilling but the escapes seemed easy and improbable. The animation sequence was beautiful and a nice visual relief from the dark blue/grey of the rest of the film. After waiting so long for the next HP installment, the abrupt, unresolved ending was a huge disappointment. Obviously the filmmakers couldn't issue a five-hour movie or two movies at once, but still, this movie ended up coming across more like a HP travelogue without much forward progress on the overall story. I might recommend waiting on this movie and renting it just before seeing the next one. It was an elaborate let-down. Said my son: "that was a fail."
Yes, I recommend this movie.
