Movie Review: Harry Potter

So the wife and I went and saw the newest Harry Potter movie this evening. We saw it at one of those premium theaters where you have to reserve a seat, have to be 21 (cuz they sell alcohol) and can get dinner while you watch the movie. I'll tell ya, short of sitting on my couch, it's the only way to see a movie..

Well the movie itself.. was GREAT. If you've seen the others and liked them, then you'll love this one. It clocked in at about two and a half hours, however, it was the fastest 2.5 hours ever. Flew by... like at the climatic scene (which you know from the books is at the end), I knew there was only a couple minutes left, but figured there had to be at least another half hour, cuz it didn't feel like 2.5 hours had gone by yet. The writing was fantastic, lots of laugh out loud moments, and they really did a fantastic job of setting the scene for the final book (which due to the amount of content, will be two movies)

And if you do go see it, bring tissues ladies. It wasn't all that dusty to me, but otherwise there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Now we just have to wait until 2010 for the next one...
