Review: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 movie review"

The long wait is finally over. The last movie of Harry Potter is finally here. Cue to emotions of fans who have been with the series over more than 10 years. So the verdict is? Is it worth the wait to see Voldemort and Harry clash? The answer is Yes. It may be worth the wait and the anticipation but it does feel a little underwhelming. Yes, it does feature the best action scenes ever seen in a Harry Potter movie but the climax clash is a little underwhelming for me. I would have been expecting a little more from it.

The story: It directly continues from the last movie, part 1. Voldemort smiling and the most powerful wand in his hand and then the Warner Bros. icon follows and soon the title follows after. Harry and his gang talk to a few people and soon, they are off to an adventure to the bank to steal another Horcruxe. You won't have to wait long before the gang returns Hogwarts and the battle between good and evil starts. There is a war scene where wizards battles in Hogwarts. Good scene but that is only one. This movie has roughly three major action scenes but they are all breath-taking. The escape with the dragon from the bank is cool. The war scene is good and shows that a Harry Potter movie can actually come up with a good action scene. Hogwarts is being blown into bits. The climax is good though underwhelming. But at least, we get to see some sense of threat from Voldemort. Harry and Voldemort whizz off to places in Hogwarts to battle and finally the last clash of the wands in a field. Music is surpisingly epic when the battles start. Acting is good, the stars have matured.

Overall: The end is finally here. The Harry Potter series is over and it seems movie companies struggle to find the next Harry Potter to introduce to the world. And soon Warner Bros. will be seeing Batman off next year. Is it the best Harry Potter movie? You can say so. It has the action, magic and the thrills that the other movies can't compete. No doubt it will make big in box office as fans will lap up the last movie.

Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "The Spirit of Ramayana" (103 minutes) "A passable Thai horror movie with an interesting concept but weak execution." As a low-budget horror movie, it has enough entertainment values. In the recent years, there are a few strong Thai horror movies with decent production values and there are many mediocre low-budget horror movies. The Spirit of Ramayana is somewhat in the middle. It may not look that polished but its themes and concept are intriguing enough. The story: The narrative is straight forward however its editing made the movie look messy and disjointed. It is a simple story about Mintra, a young dancer who is rejected for the main role because she cannot pull off an evil and sensual side. However, a spirit helps her to unleash her dark side. On paper, it sounds like a supernatural Black Swan. It lacks the emotional depth of Black Swan as the director seems only interested in churning out cheap scares. As the plot develops fur...

Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Man of Steel movie review" With all the hype from the trailers, I must say this is what it looks to be expected. I have to say that this is the biggest and epic superhero movie yet. This treats destructions like child's play. It is also the most explosive superhero movie. There are so much explosions that they could literally make you exhausted from watching all those. Although this is directed by Zack Snyder, this does not have much of his trademark except the visuals. His slo-mo trademark is not featured. Instead, the action is rapid fast. Man of Steel is a good entertainment with exciting action scenes and visuals but at the same, a somehow touching human drama. The story: We get an extended opening scene on Krypton where Kal-El is just born. However the planet is going to be destroyed with General Zod adding to the problem. To save Kal-El, he has to be sent to another planet known as Earth. What is interesting about the movie that it do...

Rating: 4.6/5 Review: "Avengers: Endgame IMAX movie review" (181 minutes) This is surely the most anticipated movie this year. This is a non-spoiler review so it won't be very long. The ultimate question is: Is the conclusion worth the wait? Those who have invested 10 over years on every Marvel movie should have no doubts watching this on big screen. I personally find Endgame a little disappointing as it felt safer compared to the brutal Infinity War. The story: It is a direct sequel. And that's all a reader should know. There are some surprises along the way and it ends in a satisfying way. Audience should know that it is a 3 hours movie so they SHOULD NOT expect an action-packed thrill ride like what Infinity War is. It takes its time with characters and therefore it is reasonable to call it an action drama that delivers an emotional and nostalgic ride. Although it does feel a bit long, I found it consistently engaging. Music by Alan Silvestri is a bit lacki...
