My kids & I went this afternoon. While I won`t say it was a bad movie, it was really disappointing. Of course they couldn`t use everything from such a huge book, but there were huge bits missing and others very "condensed". It wasn`t an overly long movie, just over 2 hours, and I imagine they could have easily added another half hour without making viewers tired of sitting. The big fight at the end was well done, I think, although not completely true to the book.
If you love Harry Potter, you`ll want to see it no matter what- I`m sure we`ll end up buying it went it goes to video. Just don`t expect too much from it. Another viewing might change my mind a bit, but right now I`d have to say its going to be my least favorite of the series, although I didn`t care much for the 3rd one either.
