I swore I wasn't gonna do this but "O Well". Went three times before I
wrote this.
Nice eye candy it was, 3D/IMAX wasn't overpowering the movie. Reviews
continue to tell me how this was the greatest of the series. Potential
Oscar winner (lol).
I don't know what film the critics are watching but...
I thought Neville was downright stupid. The limp, the hokey-pokey too
long "Long Live Harry" rah-rah bullshit, "Oh I'll kill the snake now",
miraculous no injury-no death fall from the destroyed
bridge...puhleeese.
Luna gets tough with Harry, the WeaseLey/Granger kiss followed
by the "insane with Love" clown act (faces included) by Ron and Good
God Emma is all you could do is close your legs and hold hands like
you tow were 12? I got the distinct impression her heart wasn't into
this R-H shit.
I guess the super-screwed Voldemort-Potter final duel is what did it
for me. WTF was that? He dies an extraordinary magical death, almost
evaporating but why? Isn't this the mortal Tom Riddle whose supposed
to be dying? A mortal death?
Voldemort doesnąt just happen to make some idiotic moral and tactical
errors and fail in his quest to evade death; the quest itself is the
failure. Tom fails to be a man because he doesnąt think a man is worth
being. Yet he gets to die like a supernaturalist?
O well.
There are enough loopholes and loose ends and downright plants for the
next generation of Potter films. Voldemort is embryonic, Harry's and
et als kids are (near) school age; Neville is sniggling up to Luna;
Olivander lives and the Jew-Goblins are still in business.
O well.
Grade: C
