Brilliant Performances

As a diehard book/movie Harry Potter fan I have had disappointments in film adaptations of the books before (i.e. Order of the Phoenix). This movie far surpassed my expectations - yes, some things were either left out or done differently, but that is expected because books and movie scripts are very different mediums with which to express ideas. Deathly Hallows Pt2 was stunning... the effects were amazing, the 3d wasn't overly done and was more of an added element rather than the focus of the film (such is with other 3d movies which are made specifically to be 3d). Alan Rickman deserves an Oscar nomination, if he is overlooked then there is something wrong with Hollywood. Overall a fantastic and brilliant end to the very best young adult fiction series ever. Highly recommended for children age 13+ as the movie is dark and some death scenes are shocking.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The BEST Movie in a LONG time
PostedJuly 18, 2008

I love movies, especially good movies - all kinds of movies. But I especially love good action movies. I can't stand a movie with a terrible script, or ridiculas plot, or bad acting. This movie has everything you could possibly want from an action film: the script is fantastic; the acting is exceptional and, in some cases, Oscar-worthy; the action will blow you away. As both a Heath Ledger fan and a Gary Oldman fan, I was extremely happy and even pleasantly surprised by both of their performances - both of these fine actors deserve Oscar noms, and Heath deserves to win it, and not just because of his untimely death. You'll leave the theater wishing he were still around, because you'll want more of this demonic, maniacal Joker he characterizes so precisely. No one could hope to fill his shoes - at least, not in the near future. Perhaps years from now, a decade maybe, when the taste of this character becomes forgotten. Until then, Heath's performance will go down as his absolute best, and if he's not given his props come this Oscar season, then Hollywood is doomed to repetative flops. Christian Bale could have pulled back the hoarse voice a bit, and I was slightly disappointed in Maggie Gyllenhaal (Katie Holmes would have been better). Overall, I'd see this in the theaters at least one more time, and when it comes out on DVD, it will be played over and over again.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
