This film begins Voldemort's hunt for Harry so he can finally battle him and attempt to kill him again. Although this is the 7th film in the series, it still has the same spirit and drive as the first one. Yeah, the films do get darker as they go on, but don't think that that's not intentional. I went into this film knowing that it would probably leave me hanging at the end, and I would want to see the 2nd part right away, but when the end came, I was still upset that I couldn't keep watching, despite my preparedness.
The acting is great in these films, the cinematography is beautiful, and the storyline is so interesting. This one has emotions in every which way. You also see a different side of the characters that you don't see in previous films. It delves into their characters more than any other--especially Hermione's and Ron's. While watching it in theaters, there were some parts involving Ron that I feel were supposed to be serious, but because it was Ron, the people in the theater were laughing at what he was saying. This bothered me a bit because I feel as though they were denying his character depth attempt and hoping that he is to be "silly old Ron" all the time. So, be on a look out for those scenes and know that they are trying to look deeper into the characters.
There is not the usual twist at the end of this film, but it IS only half of the final chapter after all. It's not the best film in the series, but then again, there aren't really any bad ones in this series! This may be the most different out of the bunch though.
It's still a great film, and like I said, it WILL leave you hanging, so try not to be upset.
