Redlemon, that's a bit of how I feel about this film. All the "action" includes finding and destroying just one horcrux and learning the background of the Deathly Hallows. At least two characters killed, one of their deaths totally impersonal and the other a little theatric (the girls behind me were crying before it even happened).
Mostly character development and discovery of background information for the rest of the film.. but I remember feeling the same way about their time in the woods when I was reading the book, so I can't fault them TOO much for the way it was written.
That said, I loved the artwork for the Three Brothers tale. Loved it. And the movie itself LOOKS amazing. What I've always loved about the Harry Potter movies is that the CGI is done so well (they must have some awesome artists) that it looks like something that doesn't exist (magic) is totally possible AND realistic.
My favorite part of this movie release was my ex hoping it was more "kid friendly" than the last few. Obviously, he hasn't read the books.. but I snort-laughed at that one. This film has more skin in it than any of the rest, and a lot more interpersonal conflict. It's very adult in nature.
