A Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2. This is the final battle where Harry Potter and his allies take on Lord Voldemort and his cohorts. It is a brilliant apocalyptic ending to the series.  Suggestion:  Though I did not do this, it would be helpful to watch the previous Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movie as this one starts off where the last one ended. I was a touch disoriented for the first five minutes of this movie. After that it kicks if off as the gang of Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) rob a bank, join their allies at Hogsworth and then fight the ultimate battle of good vs. evil. The battle scenes are magical and are sprinkled with various cliché moments, which lend a sense of humor to this largely dark storyline.  Punches aren't skipped as characters we've grown up with are killed off.  This lends itself to gloom, but in the end one can't help but find themselves at the edge of their seat throughout the movie.
