Harry Potter and My Review!

I'm not a big Harry Potter fan.  I watched the first 3 movies, skipped the next the next 4, and since Harry Potter and the Death Hallows - Part 2 is the very last movie ever to be made about Harry Potter (unless the series follows the Star Trek saga and Star Wars saga where fanatics and business people want to do a spin-off series because MONEY TALKS), I decided to watch it... then again, nothing else was on the theaters that I haven't already watched.  So what did I think?  Overall, I liked it.  Not knowing much history than what I've watched in the first 3 movies, it was nice to have seen that the little boy has grown to become a young man, more wise than his peers as well as a strong leader rallying up the troops against the eminent evil that is to take over the magical world.

The movie was a fun roller coaster.  It had the race against time, the cloak and dagger of getting behind the lines, the major battle between good and evil, and I enjoyed every moment of it.  I love special effects that feel realistic to me.  When they battle with their "stick" (yah, I know it's called a wand), it really felt like energy really flowed out of it.  When they fly through the air on their broom or when Harry holding on to the One Whose Name Should Never Be Spoken and flying through the air, I really felt like I was a part of the action.  And in the end when Good defeated Evil, you have this happy feeling that good finally prevailed.  It was a good movie for family and friends.

Now it wouldn't be a Chazztastic blog without giving my Chazztastic Thoughts.  Here they are:

  • Is it just me or does a story about killing little children just feel wrong?
  • Do they ever learn stuff like Math or Economics at that school?
  • What kind of job do they have when their students graduate?
  • If you can create anything out of nothing, then is there such thing as a poor wizard? 
  • If 19 years passed by, then why do they still use a old steam driven train?
  • Can't they just magically appear at the school?
These are just mere Chazztastic Thoughts that make you go... HMMMM?

Well, if you want to go out and watch a good movie, then Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 will not disappoint you.

I rate this movie:  3D-Movie Theater! (if you follow this blog, you'll discover how I rate movies)
