So I went to see the part two of the last Harry Potter film and I must say it was a bit disappointing again, but atleast it wasn't borring like the last one. Again SPOILER WARNING, as we will again descent into the festering pile shit that is the ending to this film.
The biggest disappoint I had was the climax. It was the most anti-climactic climax I have seen in a while. Harry Potter gets chased by Voldemort through the ruins of Hogwarts, they have a flying wrestling match, then the magic penis meassuring contest begins and then Voldemort gets a bad case of dry skin and turns to dust. Fight over. This was what the 7 movie build up lead to, it wasn't any different from every other fight HP and V had before. Here are a few examples how epic final battles should be done.
Luke vs Darth Vader
The final battle in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Bill vs the Bride
The movie also continued with the theme of forgetting everyone else besides Harry. Jesus, Harry Potter has one of the richest universes and atleast in this film that got almost completely wasted. The thread of Voldemort's dominion and its effects on the World of Wizards that was started in the last film was left abandoned. How are we supposed to give a rats fuck about the heroe's sacrifice if we don't know what it is at stake?
The Siege of Hogwarts scene was a bit mixed. While it was awesome to see the Hogwarts turn into the Battle of Stalingrad, there were some issues that really annoyed me. The first one was the magic shield, it looked like something out of Star Trek, I was sort of expecting Worf to pop up and report "Shields are down to 30% Captain" But more annoying was the fact was how Hogwarts was defended. The whole point of being in a castle is that you are in a place where the enemy has a problem of shooting at you while you have the opportunity shoot at the uncovered enemy with impunity. When The Dark Horde of Doom starts shooting at your castle its generally a smart idea to FUCKING SHOOT BACK.
But the most hilarious scene was when Harry dies, yes he dies, I told you there were spoilers. He goes into a white train station, has a talk with Dumbledore and he sees the skinned featus of Voldemort. Yes, he sees the skinned featus of Voldemort. I am not making this up. But no worries Harry apparently had a guest lecture from Jeesus on how to beat death and he comes back from death.
Other than that there were some pretty good 3D effects and overall it was entertaining but couldn't really live up to be the movie to crown the epic 8 movie saga.
