Review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) by Stefan G — 01 Jan 2014
Even though they really didn't need to split this film into two parts, this second half of the overlong Harry Potter finale is worth it simply because it means finally putting the massively hyped film franchise to rest.
I like the fact that the film is taking a less bleak tone, which fits because of the implied positive outcome. However, the writers seemed to have ruthlessly complicated the plot more than necessary, and they seem to have written it in such a fashion that we get an obligatory, Disney-esque happy ending just to give the fans one last hoorah.
If there's one thing to be praised, however, it's the special effects, and the fact that they at least set up a climactic final battle between Harry and Voldemort. Overall, while it has its flaws, it still manages to wrap up the saga as effectively as possible, having tied up all the loose ends.
