Potter's wand is too floppy for this flat end.


Perhaps it's because I finally got around to reading the Deathly Hallows before seeing Pt. 2, but man, the last movie lacked charisma. Why they decided to remove most of the dialogue in favor of quick, visual summations of book chapters, I just don't get. The human connection was entirely missing.

They could've brought back John Williams; they could have put a lot more love into the final installation! Instead, they chose flashy bullshit, devoid of respect for the content of the story and respect for the fans. Poop on you, David Yates!

Hasty & soulless and scored by a dull temp track, Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Pt 2 is a jumbled abbreviation of an an otherwise enjoyable literary epic. Why would anyone kid themselves that this was good? I'm glad I watched it for free on the Internets instead of paying $15 for another boring Hollywood noise collage.
