1-word review: Meh.
Good where the book is not, not so good where the book is great.
Since the book tends to get great in the end, the movie unfortunately tracks in the opposite direction.
A decent enough episode with some good performances and business for the main characters ... but alas not destined to be one of my favorite Potter films.
I don't think.
More viewings are necessary. I don't mean to imply the film is without its charms. I really enjoyed the first two hours. But the third act was a real let down. And it's likely the most thrilling section in the entire book series.
I hope Disneyphile took my advice. No one should see this movie before reading the book.
