This is a biased review. I had to say that first because I LOVE the Harry Potter books, and read them all more than once. So, I'm sure it was easier for me to understand what was going on than the average movie-goer. So, onto the review.
This Harry Potter film was definitely the darkest of the previous ones, but it's very fitting. If you go back and look at the first one, it was child-like and happy, while as the characters grew up, the fans grew up with the story. The children who saw the first and second now come to the last few as adults or teenagers.
The director, David Yates, is a very talented guy. Many shots in this movie were filmed flawlessly, but as the film progressed, it got sloppier and sloppier. Especially one of the last action sequences, it was as if they had a little handheld camera and was running beside the actors.
Other than that, I really enjoyed the film and the small jokes that played into it. I will definitely see it again on the big screen, and, as any real Potter fans, see the next installment in 3-D!
