I was on the edge of my seat throughout most of the film even though I lived through that era and knew what happened in the end. Well directed, well acted. All around great movie. Oh, and Lora Kennedy should get an Oscar for perfectly casting this movie - except for Affleck but, what are you going to do, he was producer & director ;-).
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great movie but lacks important flow

Excellent Potter movie. The actors did very well to express the feelings which took tens of pages in the book to show. Yes, the movie is dark and slow but the book was ever so much more. I agree with other raters that the scene with Ron destroying the locket went overboard with the nudity - totally unnecessary.
Still, however, an entire flow from the book is lacking in the movie - Harry's conflict between searching for the Horcruxes and the Deathly Hallows. The hallows were Dumbledore's weakness but they are Harry's strength because he is able to overcome the desire to obtain them. With that, he is able to use them in his meeting with Voldemort. Rowling wrote much in book 7 to make this point which is missing in the movie.
I'm hoping that this will come out in Part II. If not, then Yate's screenplay will be as poorly written as that for Books 4 & 6.
