The end of a saga…
The time has come. Many lives have been lost. The war is coming to an end. The final confrontation between the Boy Who Lived and the Dark Lord is here.
Now for the review:
It is the end of a legacy. The very last of the Harry Potter films has arrived. Frankly, if you’re a fan, you would go see this even if I said this was the worst movie I have seen in my life.
The special effects for Deathly Hallows were good. While certainly plentiful, I felt that the film was taking a sort of “minimalist” approach in regard to the effects. Yes, pretty much every single scene had CGI effects happening in the back and foreground, but it felt very natural. It felt as if the movie was saying, “Yes, there’s magic happening. Let’s move on.” It wasn’t like it was trying to show off, like what James Cameron did with Avatar (No! I will not stop bitching about it!). It was just there to serve its purpose of progressing with the story, which I definitely appreciated.
The film’s score was pretty forgettable, save for the original theme composed by the legendary John Williams of course.
