An average movie

At last, we have here the final installment of the Harry Potter franchise. To be honest, I have never been a fan of those movies. Sure, I have to admit that they were  entertaining but, except for two which I really enjoyed ('Azkaban' and 'The Goblet of Fire'), I didn't care much for the rest. Still, this movie was one of the best but I still think it is rather overrated, especially when you see on IMDb that it is considered one of the best movies ever made. Indeed, even though it was quite spectacular, the story was still rather weak. For example, every time Harry seems to be stuck, he gets one of those visions which tells him exactly what to look for and where to look for which was terribly convenient. Furthermore, the love story with Ron's sister was quite pathetic, even his little fling with that Asian chick  was actually more interesting. Basically, Potter falls in love with the only girl who was around during the whole thing... Another thing that bothered me was Snape's double agenda. Seriously, from the very first movie, it was completely obvious that he was not one of the bad guys. It was also pretty clear that Harry was supposed to die and it was definitely one of the most interesting and bold aspects of this feature but even this was ruined and badly handled in my opinion. Indeed, they made a whole fuss about it but eventually they decided he should survive anyway because, you know, he is basically the title character. I know, I make it sound as if it was a bad movie but it wasn't. It was well made, pretty spectacular and quite entertaining but I just don't see what was so great about the damned thing. To conclude, even though I think it is rather overrated, it remains a well made blockbuster and it is worth a look, especially if you enjoyed the previous installments.
