After All This Time?




So! It's a total relief, right, knowing that HPDH 2 was finally released in Indonesia, even though it's quite late. And untill now, I've watched it three times. Once in 3D and twice in 2D. Well, many people say this movie is epic. I thought, yes this is the last one, this must be epic, but when I first watched it, in 3D, I was like, "honestly, this is not what I expected from the last movie of the harry potter franchise ever." I don't mean this is a bad movie. No, this is good, it made many people cry and also you cannot say bad when everybody says epic because you'll lose :p What I mean here is that this movie has the goods and the bads, just like everything else. So I'm gonna make some points.
  1. I don't know, after I finished watching this movie, I felt like I just watched a film full of montage. Every scenes seems to be so short to me. Not surprising, actually, because HPDH2 is the shortest harry potter film with only two hours and ten minutes. It looks like they're trying to put as much scenes as they can and ends up everytime a scene finishes I was like, "wait, that's all?". Well, book loyalty isn't a matter at all now for me. No harry potter film would've satisfied me if I judged them only from their loyalty to the books. I understand that films and books are quite different. 
  2. Snape's memory... is waaaay too short. I didn't cry in this scene, you know. Alan Rickman's acting is soooooo good though (O my goodness.. HIM.. for all the awards) . Just.. the story isn't enough. They could just delete some of the battle and add more scenes to snape's memory. I think the battle is too much, nagini lives too long, Neville could've just finished it right in the field where harry wakes up from dead-pretending.
  3. Helena Bonham Carter is awesome. She does well as hermione. When she is hermione, you don't see bellatrix at all even though the appearance is completely bella's.
  4. The effects win. Probably this is a harry potter film with the best film effects. I don't know, though, I have to watch the previous films first to make sure. But in this movie, the magic looks awesome and more vivid, like real. I haven't seen those kind of magic in the previous films. They look beautiful. I was so WOW,  I felt almost crying by amazement.
  5. The 3D isn't that good. Let me remind you that this movie isn't made to be 3D, it's just a 3D convertion. But there are some parts of the scenes which are looking good in 3D, like the smokes, the dementors, the warner bros logo, and the scene when voldemort's body shatters. Others? look the same in 2D.
  6. The soundtrack is wonderful. Love love love love since the beginning when the warner bros logo appears until the end of the movie. :)
  7. Rupert Grint's acting is adorable when Fred dies. Ron is not so comical this time. The trio look sirius serious along the film and that's ok actually, that makes sense. Hermione and Ron don't have much lines, the movie is centered to Harry... and Voldemort. And I'm so disappointed that Ron doesn't talk at all in the epilogue, he's just silent, that's sooooo NOT ron weasley. Rupert said that the epilogue was actually longer than what appears in the cinema. Yeah, they better put that longer epilogue in the DVD or I'll kill them.

  9. This one is more touching than any harry potter films. I cried in the first time watching it --honestly, I never thought I would cry at all-- and it was not in the snape's scene, it's when harry meets the ghosts of his parents and sirius and lupin. Harry never sees his mother for his whole life and the time he really sees her (and it's when he's in a crack), he cannot even touch her. That's so heartbreaking OMG I think I'm gonna cry again!! And Ron and Hermione's faces when harry says he's going to the forest and also Ginny's face when she thought she saw harry's dead body, nooo I felt like it's waterfall on my face. I, myself, can't see my bestfriend dead. :(
  10. Best part : when harry wakes up from his dead-pretending, then that cheers from Hogwarts warriors,  and that shock reaction from the death eaters. Definitely the best part! :)
  11. The Malfoy Family. I like it when narcissa would do anything to keep her son safe, even if she has to betray voldemort. And when she, lucius, and draco run away from the battle, I love it, it's my second best part. I'm in love with the malfoy family :)


So this is the end. This is sad. This iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis sad. And to me, this is a good movie, I appreciate that the crew have done their best to finish this movie and they did well,  I have too many favorite scenes here.. I rated it 3 out of 5 stars



3 is good, right? ok? :) But it's just... I want more, Yates. I don't want to end it here, like this, with 3.. as a fan, I want it to be a five. I think Part 1 is still better than Part 2. And don't forget, I think Alan Rickman deserves an oscar, and Rupert Grint deserves more than an oscar, please..
