Conveying 150 pages of a book, closing gaps from the previous 6 books and depicting emotion visually - they did a great job translating it to the screen. Although they condensed in a couple places to help move the story along (ie. 3 months in the Black house devising a way to get into the Ministry of Magic was skipped - losing the story line with Creature), it was an excellent job for a 2 and a half hour movie. Also they didn't leave the cliff-hanger so loose that you felt jipped at the end, but still enough to draw you back for the finale.
Although faded in color, it wasn't as dark visually as the previous few and I could actually see what was going on. They also kept more of the humor that 's in the book unlike the previous few films. The hand-held camera effect was a little disorienting, but not completely overused as in so many action films today. I could have done without the naked makeout session with the smokey Hermione and Harry vision (I believe in the book is was just a kiss), but overall an excellent 2 and a half hours spent.
Looking forward to the final one.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
