    An incredible waste of time & money. Had great difficulty retaining consciousness throughout. Is the only Potter movie that dragged on & on ad nauseum. Far too much on the awakening of teenage hormones and adolescent angst. OH good grief! When some action, aside from inept fondling, did occur it was lacklustre and dark. The last book seems to have been divided into 2 movies purely for profit...greed knows no end. Would that they had made a rousing good 3 hour movie that went out with a bang rather of crawling on its belly through the muck at a slug pace. Makes us wonder if we will even bother with the final movie. Such an incredible disappointment. Greed sucks the quality out of any thin

    This movie was ok. Not the best out of the Harry Potter films but it wasnt horrible. If you read the books you'll understand it more. Although it doesnt really go well with the book as its a little hard to follow, you can still understand it. They acted good in it. It wasnt the best but if you like Harry Potter and you've been reading the books you should see it.

    Fabulous movie! The actors have really matured and grown in their acting ability. The gorgeous cinematography and soundtrack really add to the feeling of the movie. Bundled together with amazing graphics, a wonderful script and added humour, makes for a truly spectacular movie you don't want to miss in theatres. Definitely the best Harry Potter film yet!

    A lot more funny than the previous movies, didn't flow too great, but overall an excellent adaption given the restraints that movies face.

    This disappointing film was lacking in several areas - plot, acting and just plain general interest. The feeble, boring and unpropelled plot would easily lose any audience who had not seen the other movies in the series. There was little to no character development, no useful advance in the abilities of the main protagonists, and no substantial or satisfying advance in the overall story, which is especially worrying given that this is the second-last installment in the series. Acting was minimal, showing little attention to dialogue and possibly poor direction. And the story line was very unsatisfying, with no shape or climax other than DD's predictable Gandalf-like sacrifice. Very disappoin
