Re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt.1
Saw it tonight and was dissapointed tbh. I don't think this has anything on "The Half Blood Prince". I know the franchise changes directors for almost every movie, so maybe that was the problem for me...I haven't looked it up to check yet.
It truly felt like half a movie for me but not in the sense that it was Part 1. I agree with Larry that there was this kinda blurry aspect to combat and action. Many times I missed what was happening or didn't quite know. I know they are firing spells behind them but I can't see it properly. It looked like they teleported just as they got thrown out the window but I wasn't sure if it was just smoke. This wasn't intentional mystery because I found out they did a few seconds later.
Scenes begin and end suddenly with no progress made really. I guess they call it "art". For me it was just wasting time.
I don't think the details were as defined as they should have been. The story holds up...but only because it has been built on for years, but all the characters seem very 1-dimensional in this installment. From Hagrid to Harry. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't exactly awesome either. I felt like I was watching one of the Twilight movies sometimes (flashy, but lacking substance).
