HP 7, P1

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.

Yeah, if they finish the second half of this book with an equally well-made, compelling movie, then I'll be delighted to close this chapter of my life on such a high note. I'd stopped looking forward to the movies because they had nothing good to offer. I'm glad they've finally gotten it right. Too bad they didn't figure it out sooner.

I'm going to see it again, probably tonight, because my wife hasn't seen it yet. :D
