Wow, what a well done movie!
Everybody's acting has gone up a couple of notches (especially Malfoy), and FINALLY Alan Rickman gets some good screen time!
Yeah they changed a lot from the book, but not too much. The beginning where you actually see the attack on LDN instead of someone telling someone else about it was a pretty good idea, but the attack on the Weasleys home was obviously thrown in for the sake of action.
I still think they should've kept the end battle with The Order & The DA against the Death Eaters. Supposedly it was to build anticipation for the uber battle in "Deathly Hallows", but to me that's like leaving Helm's Deep out of Two Towers just because they want to save the fighting for ROTK. It should've been left in.
But the "SkD" scene was done well with only minor changes.
Other omissions I wish had stayed was the Tonks/Lupin romance subplot, and the flashback involving The Gaunts.
But all in all, it's easily the best summer movie by far. And make me wish I could see "Deathly Hallows"....like,
tomorrow!
