Very good. First off, let me say that I disliked the last two Harry Potter movies with a passion. I loved the first four. (Third was pretty good). But I was really happy when I saw this one, because I was expecting another just like the last two, but I was pleasantly surprised. 


Now another thing I have to say before I continue with this review is that I did go to the midnight showing, so the whole atmosphere, with the crazy fans dressed up shouting out trivia and stuff. That probably made me like it a little better. At one point before the movie, a girl dressed in a short golden glittery dress, with wings tied to her back got up and started running around the theater. Her friends pointed to her and yelled "There's the Golden Snitch!" a couple seconds later, a random guy dressed as Harry Potter in the back row got up and started chasing her, wand in hand. This went on for minutes, the whole theater cheering them on. It was the greatest thing ever.


Anyway on to my review. One thing that I noticed, that I really liked, was the whole time, you kind of had this spooky tension. Like Voldemort was watching over the characters. It was very nicely done, and it added a layer of creepiness to the whole movie. In a good way.


So I read all the books, loved them. This movie stays very true to the books, and I give it big props for that.  What really surprised me, was not only did the movie "stay true" to the books, I specifically remember thinking: "Wow, this is exactly how I pictured it" which is a cool experience. Like you are seeing it for a second time. 


This movie has Sadness in it, excitement, and there was one scene that was VERY nicely done. Highlight the following to see what I'm talking about, (Don't if you haven't seen HP7 yet): The scene where the old lady turns into Nagini, the snake, and you slowly start realizing what's going on, Hermione sees the flies, and Harry sees what looks like his old room. Amazingly well done.


Here is what I didn't like about the movie, and before I say them, know that the good parts of this movie strongly outweigh the bad.


Firstly, if you compare the first two movies, to this one or the last couple, you will notice something. There is a certain "Old Timey" feel, that is completely lost in the more recent movies. I really liked that charm, seeing the castles, seeing all the old fashioned wizardry shenanigans and what not. In the more recent movies, especially this one, it is so modern. I guess you could argue that this is because they interact more with the muggle world in the more recent books. Or you could argue that the Old timey feel comes with Hogwarts, which is not as much part of the story anymore. But still, now you see Hermione ordering a Cappuccino (no joke, this actually happens) and you see BMW's and instead of wearing robes they wear what looks like could be Abercrombie and Fitch or something. This bugs me.


Also, there were quite a few unintentional laughable moments. Most of them were because of the awkward love triangle of Ron, Harry, Hermione. Some weird stuff happens, and whether it was necessary in the movie is questionable.


Finally, what really got me was this: PART ONE. When the Harry Potter title starts flying in, I always get so excited, and the little Part One on the side just kind of took me out of the experience. Plus the way they ended it was very part one. 


OK, so I realize that I mainly said bad things about this Harry Potter movie, but it was very, very, very good, and if you have even the slightest interest in Harry Potter I HIGHLY suggest you go see it. HIGHLY. It was funny, action packed, cute, smart, everything you could want from a Harry Potter movie and more. Oh and when you see it you will understand that had they not made this a Two Part'er, well lets just say you'll be glad they did.

Great! I loved this movie. Some words come to mind when I think about this movie: Thought-Provoking, Intense, Emotional, Hilarious, Realistic, Thought-Provintentionaristic. I made the last one up. 

This movie was really fun to watch, Yes it is another "Michael Cera" movie meaning he plays basically the same character (Awkward Kid) with the same goals (Get Girl), but he pulls it off well. So I did love this movie, but whether or not this was intentional, it seems like there was a very target audience intended for this movie.


I really loved the story, it didn't go by too fast or too slow, the characters are great, plus the very fun style with the whole video game theme was really cool. What made the movie great was all these factors tying together. If you think you might like this, give it a try, because, just, do. This review would have been more in depth but I waited way too long after watching it to write this. Bye. Oh and I love the actors in this movie, not even counting Michael Cera they are all really great and even Jason Schwartzman at the end. There are some things I didn't like about this movie, I just don't remember them. 


So this review sucked. But Scott Pilgrim did not. Go watch it!
