Maybe it was the iMAX?

Saw this movie 11/23 at our local iMAX theatre. Reserved seats, fabulous sound and huge digitally enhanced screen made this a better experience than any of the previous HP movies for me. Having just re-read the Deathly Hallows probably made me a bit hypersensitive to bits of the story that were left out. I thought some of the camping scenes could have been sacrificed (the HP Hermione dance scene would not be missed; the scenery was lovely, but passage of time and such has been handled more efficiently) for more development: in the escape from Little Whinging (never got to meet Tonks' parents) , at the wedding (Ron's aunt woefully underdeveloped), at Grimmauld Place (Remus' visit should have been included; Lily's partial letter, too; the improved relationship with Kreacher), the interrogation at Malfoys' (HP never talked to the Goblin about saying the sword was fake; the importance of that to the search not developed fully) and the escape to Bill and Fleur's place. Nonetheless, far more true to the text than previous episodes. The crew also seems to be perfecting the technique of showing wizardry in action (apparation appears almost fun and quite spectacular). Sorry there was so little Snape, so little Bellatrix, etc., but that followed the book. Radcliffe and Watson were their usual workmanlike selves, but Rickman, Fiennes Ifans, Nighy, Felton and Grint and many of the rest of the supporting case were spectacular.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
