MOVIE REVIEW: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2


It has been a weird time for me at the movies lately,I still haven't seen Bad Teacher, Larry Crowne and Transformers: Dark of the Moon but I saw both Zookeeper and Horrible Bosses days before the actual opening day and make that 3 with the last chapter in the Harry Potter series; Deathly Hallows Part 2 last night.
What a fitting ending to one of the biggest moneymaking film franchises of all time since Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. The first part of Deathly Hallows clearly set up on what was to be the ultimate duel almost a decade in the making; Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort. After all the anguish that Harry had been too in the other books and the first part, he is now edgier and ready to finish it all, this is Daniel Radcliffe's best performance in the series and rightfully so in the last one.
Those who weren't able to read the book or maybe skipped a book, film or both can still catch up while watching the film. It gave a good backgrounder from Harry's parents to even his mentors Professor Dumbledore and Severus Snape.
This is epic filmmaking at it's best. I saw it in the 3D version but save your hard earned money. Seeing it on a regular screen is well worth it.
