Two Line Reviews - #123

Movie: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 (2010)


Plot: The trio of Harry,Ron & Hermione are challenged in their search for horcruxes by the constant vigil of Voldemort and his clan of death-eaters. The search leads Harry towards some startling discoveries on Dumbledore & deathly hallows but after destroying the locket,he is left clueless on the whereabouts of 3 more and elsewhere Voldemort gets his hands on the most important deathly hallow or so he thinks.

Highlights:
  • The trio keep us engaged as usual.Ron particularly,with his awkward expressions at apt times.
  • The artwork (Ministry sequence) and Camerawork (snatchers' chase sequence) are exemplary,well aided by the eye-pleasing dreamy locations.
  • The 'tale of Three Brothers' on the deathly hallows was nicely etched.
Lowlights:
There are a lot of non-events. This is partly due to the lack of much substance in the first half of the book. I still wonder why it needed to come in two parts!

My Rating: 8.8/10
