Movie Review: Harry Potter 7

Ok. I’ve read the other reviews on the internet over the weekend and most of them say this movie is great.

Huh?

One reviewer even said she read the book and still thought the movie was great.

Huh?

The movie effects were pretty good.

That is the only positive thing I can say about this movie.

I didn’t expect the first half to be as exciting as the second half promises to be but my major disappointment lies with how much the movie deviated and sometimes never resembled the book.

I have to admit that seeing Snape fly into Malfoy manor in the very beginning made the movie feel promising.

The cafe’ fight wasn’t long enough. The camera bouncing around during the forest fight scene with the snatchers gave me a headache.

For those of us who enjoyed the book, this movie was bad.
