it wasn't so bad was it? i am no fan of potter films/books or the teen genre for that matter. i got dragged along to this movie by my sisters who had followed the story the whole nine yards. the theatre was full of kids, they were decidedly restless with the movie going at about two hours. as a non-fan, i find the this harry potter installment quite well done for a teen movie. at times it felt like a poor man's lord of the rings - but i kept myself in check in expectations. while the premise of the story is silly - i mean voldemort has had numerous opportunities to kill harry in the prior seven installments and failed to do so each and every time, you crusty old megalomaniac! - ok check expectation, check - i love the way the movie is filmed. i find myself thinking - wow - what kind of lens did they use to get that kind of picture.
my fangirl sisters lamented that the ending was not good - for reasons i am not quite sure. however it is nice to see harry's life coming to a full circle - the orphan who wanted to loved and be normal finally gets to be just that - be loved and be normal.
we watched the movie at sunway and the experience was not as bad as the one i had last year in one utama. i ended up telling off two people to shut up as opposed to ten. that's an achievement.
