HP 7, P1

[mijan]

Just got back from watching Deathly Hallows, Part 1.  NO SPOILERS, but the following general reactions to the movie as a whole:

- Best STORYTELLING of any of the movies.
- OMG, they went there (repeatedly), and didn't hold back.
- This is NOT a children's movie, and they make NO attempt to sugar-coat it.
- Yes, there was "camping," but the film kept MOVING the plot along, and I think it was a really spot-on representation of what they went through.

I think it's the best yet.  I was seriously impressed.

Go watch it.  Twice.

I agree with everything. :)

I agree so, so much. As I told the friend that stood in line for five hours with me, in a whooping yell as soon as the credits rolled--THEY FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT.

If this is the way nearly half my life comes to a close, at least I finally feel like it is going to get the send-off it deserves.

Probably gonna see it again tomorrow night, not gonna lie.

Nice to hear good things about it, though. :D

Me, too. Loved it!

I LOVED it!

I agree with you on all counts.

I am definitely watching it again. I am SO impressed by this movie. The entire theater (packed theater, 12:01 a.m.) was ENTHRALLED.

I'm so excited to see it!

even though it was my least favorite book

I didn't even know it had come out! Drats, it isn't available here yet, and I can't even download it anywhere yet...

I am awash with bliss over the film. :D

No clue what "there" is though, lol.

I liked it too :-) They left out lots of my favourite details, but having squeeze half of that massive book into a two hour movie I'm not surprised. And it was a relief that they didn't try to turn it into a kids' movie with all the intensity washed out.

I was surprised there weren't many people there though. I went at lunch time today and the theatre was less than half full. Guess it'll be all busy tonight, and over the weekend. I'm going again on Monday with the housemates. Yay!

Definitely not a children's movie. The scene with Bellatrix torturing Hermione was chilling and terrifying. I'm going to see it again tomorrow and I can't remember the last time I did that re an HP film...
