Faithful Potter Experience
PostedNovember 21, 2010
Sinistra
from Sharon, MA
For the devotees of the books, this movie was a faithful cinema experience. One reviewer felt that most of the time in the woods should have ended up on the cutting room floor. The book had the characters in the woods for a long period of the story as well. The events were appropriately condensed for the theatre. Overall, the movie captured the bleak, kind of hopeless tone of the first part of the last book. I agree with the reviewer who suggested that younger viewers be kept home. There were too many scenes that would be disturbing to younger viewers----torture victims suspended in midair, the suggestion of a giant snake about to eat a murdered victim, a severely injured George Weasley, a severely injured Ron Weasley, the Bathilde Bagshott scene, and of course, Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix LeStrange, has surpassed even herself in conveying deranged, totally evil, creepiness. The three principal actors, Radcliffe, Grint and Watson have been given their meatiest acting opportunity yet, of all of the Potter films, as has Tom Felton, who ultimately has very little dialogue. I would recommend the film, particularly to Potter devotees who have read all of the books. If you've read books 1-5, perhaps you should read 6 and 7 first, before seeing the movie-----this one doesn't do a good job of "catching up" newer viewers.
You'll risk not knowing what's going on.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
