It is important to remember that I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I would not recommend this movie like I did the last one since it relies on you having read the series.
That being said, I thought the acting was fantastic and they covered as much as they could in 2 1/2 hours. I think the casting of Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort was a great choice. I do have some complaints though–the director’s vision is not of equal quality as the last movie. Also, the editing left much to be desired in terms of making the scenes flow nicely. Lastly, as my mother pointed out, “Why does it have to be so dark?” Yes, we understand that the movie is supposed to be dark, but it did not have to be so blunt. My rating? B+
