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: 3.7/5 Review: "Terminator Salvation DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not bad. It is not the worst terminator movie, I actually thought Terminator 1 is just okay. Terminator 2 and 3 are quite entertaining followed by also entertaining Salvation. MCG, the director of Charlies' Angels, takes the directing seat and turned terminator into a dark and gritty world. As what he said, he did not want the future to be a shiny world but a dark and gritty world. He is considered to have done a great job in that and creating the realistic and cool action. But his story pretty much stays the same as his other movies, a simple mindless thrill ride. The story: The future is here and the year is 2018...John Conner is a daring man who will be willing to save people from Skynet, a evil organisation which creates Terminators. A mysterious man who is supposed to be dead suddenly finds himself in the year of...

Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "Fantastic Four movie review" "A decent gritty reboot that could have been something more than what it is now." This is Josh Trank's first big budget movie and it seems he is slightly inexperienced of directing a movie of a massive scale. Fresh from directing a small budget movie, Chronicle, it seems that he is overwhelmed by whatever happened (there are rumours that Matthew Vaughn was brought in to reshoot). Nonetheless, on the whole, the reboot is an alright movie that rehashes on the tired superhero origin. It is disappointing that it is a little shallow. I think with a longer runtime, it could benefit the characters' development and flow of the story. The story: Apparently, the writers of the film said that it does not follow any story from the source material. Instead, a new origin is created. I didn't exactly know how the original source material goes (I read a couple of Fantastic Four comic books to know the tone ...
