Two months ago I started working as an English teacher in Toronto so I haven't had too much time to continue writing reviews. But I feel that I need to take some time out of my weekend to write something about this shitpile of a movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
First of all, what exactly makes Harry Potter so special? He doesn't do anything outstanding in this movie that merits a Christ-like reverence. We see him shoot lasers out of his wand - but everybody can do that.
And how come Valldemore can read his thoughts sometimes and know exactly what he's doing at the beginning, but when Harry Potter is in the next room when he's killing that old dude, he has no idea he's there? Furthermore, I would assume that Valdemort, at the very least, would be able to know if he was dead or alive. But when Potter is pretending to be dead, Valdemart talks the school up like he's sure he's dead. The magic is inconsistent. How can viewers enjoy this crap?
And that tall dude: he zaps up the wooden bridge when a plethora of bad guys are chasing him. The bridge collapses and everyone falls to their death (I assume). So then we see a flat angle of the bridge where it ends, and a bunch of wizard good guys are staring at it, wondering what happened to him. But then we see him climb up. He's alive! Okay, great. But what happened? How did it happen? Why did it happen? Things just fucking happen in this movie and we don't know why or how. Lazy writing.
And what about the part when Harry Potter puts his face in the water with that dude's tears? Why didn't he take his glasses off? And when his face comes up, his face and glasses are dry. What the fuck!
And so then he gets zapped by Waldemart and he dies, or something. Then he wakes up in a white hallway and talks to someone. Why is wearing clothes from American Apparel? And if that's the way he envisions himself, then why didn't he have his glasses on? What a stupid movie!!!!!
And when that guy came out of nowhere and cut the snake's head off? How did he get there at that time? The last time we saw him he was on the ground and merely staring at the sword. And now he's here just in time to save the two secondary characters, the red head and his girlfriend with the brown hair?
And that reminds me. Those two secondary characters, the brown-haired girl and the redhead. This movie suffers from what I call the Von Trapp syndrome: the plague that lazily written movies have when characters need to be in a room at a certain time and the writers can't think of anything else for them to do except stand in a row listening and watching to what's happening. Harry Potter is talking to some short goblin at the beginning of this movie. The two of them just stand there watching. Couldn't the writers give them something to do? Or something to say?? Every time they're in a scene with Harry Potter, they just stand there doing nothing. It's lame!
Worst movie I've seen this year, so far.
