I have been dwelling on how to rank this move for the last two days and I am having great difficulty choosing. In the movies defense it was done spectacularly well it was an enormous step up from the sixth movie (like say steeping up on the empire state building) that being said it had both its good and bad points The Good: while it did not stay very true to the book (scenes out of order ect.) the finished product was good in its own rights it had some good humor (specifically george with a toothbrush in his ear hole) dobbys death was also spectacular an emotional scene almost everyone was crying by then. Harry and Hermione's scene in the tent after Ron had left and they were dancing was perhaps one of my favorite of the whole movie it was very cute and a wonderful thing for Harry to do to boost Hermione's spirits. The Bad: while some of the humor in the movie was good there seamed to be to much of it and it all seamed to be one right after the other so the first two funny moments are good but then you start thinking wait its not supposed to be this funny during this part, and I know why it had the humor the seventh book was rather dark and depressing and no one will sit through two and a half hours of depression in a movie, but I still think there was to much. The locket scene was good up until the point when the spectral Harry and Hermione no longer had close on, I doubt that I was the only one asking my self were that came from, but other than that it was a good scene. the final scene with Voldemort stealing Dumbledor's wand it felt like a very abrupt ending to the movie, it was a good spot for the split don't get me wrong, but they could have done more to set it up. All things said this was a very good movie for those of you who haven't read the book (although why you wouldn't read them is beyond me) its not the best for those of us who have read the book in the current ranking of movies with them all steadily getting crappier and crappier ever sense the first two movies this one would get a place of honor on my list as just about equal with the forth movie maybe a little bit to either side. Well there you have it my thoughts on Deathly Hallows Part one feel free to dispute these claims i hardly get to do enough verbal sparing any more.
