I've watched the latest installment of Harry Potter last Saturday but I was so busy with my Psych lab report that I did not have time to blog about it.
This time, it's better than the Half-Blood Prince. Same director (David Yates) and writer (Steve Kloves), I have to say that it's not bad this time. Thumbs up :D
I especially like the movie's soundtrack, where it's appropriately matched with the scenes' atmosphere. At the start of the movie when a few characters died, a very sad melody was played. I like it like that ;p
Most of the parts in the book was covered, of cuz omitting several unnecessary details. I think the writer did a moderate job on attempting to explain what is going on, as some of my friends who has not read the book does not really know what was going on.
However, I did not reread the book before I watch this on purpose so I won't be disappointed again. For all the previous movies, I read the book again before I watch and I was always upset when the movie does not follow the book (especially the 5th book). I admit that I have a really high expectation for the movie so it's only natural that I am upset when the movie does not meet my expectations. But of course, everybody's imagination and expectations of the movie is different, so I shall keep my imaginations to myself. Changing the content, however, is unacceptable for me.
Again, the movie is not bad and I certainly will look forward to the second part. As a matter of fact, I am very tempted to reread the book but due to my coming finals, this have to wait until my semester break. Although a year's wait is very long, I believe it will be worthwhile IF the second part is as great as the first one. This time, I hope that the director is able to capture the emotions and somber atmosphere when Harry is about to face his battle with Voldemort.
p/s: For those who has not read the book, try to get some background on the story before watching ;)
