Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011)

[BoyScoutKevin]

Worth seeing more than once or only worth seeing one time?

The first week the box office was $167 million. The second week the box office was only $48 million. Good, but a decline of about 72% from the previous week. And already regarded as the record decline for a blockbuster film. Still, estimates are that worldwide the film should gross over $1 billion at the box office.

I've been avoiding this thread because I hadn't seen the movie yet.  Now that I've seen it, here are my thoughts...POSSIBLE SPOILERS.

I like Harry Potter but couldn't stand the last book.  With that said though, I always felt if done right the Battle Of Hogwarts could be cinematic gold.  I have to say this flick really well done.   For me personally the time went by very fast. As mentioned in prior posts, they wrapped up the backstory in part 1 and left the action to part 2.  What I really liked was the CGI which honestly looked real to me for a change. Especially during the dragon sequence. Plus it didn't hesitate on bringing the carnage which I appreciate.

The only problems I had with it were souly based on the source material.  Other than that, great ending.  I really like the director's style based on this and the last films.
