Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2

The final installment has some great filmmaking. Production design is perfect, shots linger beautifully, and the music soars. I’ll admit, most of it didn’t make a lot of sense to me. The J.K. Rowling/lame plotting that I always complain about still rears it’s ugly dragonhead from time to time. But it’s a cinematic wonder watching those kids grow up in their characters, and watching digital effects mature and grow over the years, too. It’s a testament to the imaginative and detailed world created by Rowling that it would become such a beloved series in spite of the amateurish, 5th grade-level plotting.
