Sinopsis(1)
La primera parte comienza cuando Harry, Ron y Hermione se disponen a emprender la peligrosa misión de localizar y destruir el secreto de la inmortalidad y de la capacidad de destrucción de Voldemort: los Horcruxes. Solos, sin la ayuda de sus profesores ni la protección de Dumbledore, los tres amigos deben confiar los unos en los otros más que nunca. Sin embargo, entre ellos se interponen fuerzas oscuras que amenazan con separarlos. Mientras tanto, el mundo de la magia se ha convertido en un lugar peligroso para los enemigos del Señor Oscuro. La tan temida guerra ha comenzado y los mortífagos de Voldemort han tomado el control del Ministerio de Magia e incluso de Hogwarts, donde aterrorizan y arrestan a cualquiera que se oponga a ellos. Sin embargo, el trofeo que buscan es el más valioso para Voldemort: Harry Potter. El Elegido se ha convertido en el perseguido y los mortífagos buscan a Harry con órdenes precisas de llevarlo ante Voldemort vivo. La única esperanza de Harry es encontrar los Horcruxes antes de que Voldemort lo encuentre a él. Mientras busca pistas, destapa una vieja y casi olvidada historia: la leyenda de las reliquias de la muerte. Y si ésta resultara ser cierta, podría dar a Voldemort el poder definitivo que él ansía. Poco puede imaginar Harry que su futuro ya fue decidido por su pasado cuando, aquel fatídico día, se convirtió en "el niño que vivió". Harry Potter, que ya no es sólo un niño, se acerca cada vez más a la tarea para la que se ha estado preparando desde el día en que pisó Hogwarts por primera vez: la batalla final contra Voldemort.

I am not going to complain about this movie, but I have to point out that I am so exhausted from the whole series that I would gladly accept Voldemort's victory. I have previously mentioned that, from my point of view, the movie series should have had only four parts, as this fully demonstrates a lot of filler from the books. Additionally, since the producers decided to divide the last book into two movie parts for higher profits, this flaw is even more evident in this case. Logically, the film does not escalate as it should and thus lags from a dramatic perspective. On the other hand, it once again scores points with the big budget and the care of the film studio, so Harry Potter fans will not be disappointed. Overall impression: 50%.

Vi los primeros cuatro Harry Potters, los otros ya no me no atraían, porque no soy su fan. Fue a ver las Reliquias de la Muerte: Parte I solo por las tentadoras vallas publicitarias «Dark-Knight-Style». Y me aburrí muchísimo. El inicio de la serie presentaba a los personajes, tenía un entorno cinematográfico agradable y, en el caso de la tercera de Cuarón, también fue una aventura cinematográfica especial y sorprendentemente oscura con muchos trucos de dirección. Las películas tenían su propia historia, siempre trasladaban al espectador a algún lugar. En el contexto de ellas, las Reliquias de la Muerte: Parte I es solo una papilla onanista a la que se añadió algo, sin creatividad alguna, se rodó lo que estaba escrito en la novela, cuyas cualidades desconozco, pero si son similares, entonces amén y oscuridad.

La parte mejor interpretada de todas, pero eso no cambia el hecho de que el guión no vale gran cosa y la trama es mucho más lenta y larga que en el libro. Frente a las maravillosas escenas (la introducción, la historia de los tres hermanos, el ministerio, la destrucción del Horrocrux...) hay un montón de tomas que distraen y parecen ser de otra película (el baile en la carpa y todo lo que hizo que media sala estallara en carcajadas). Por ello, tampoco consiguió trasladar a la pantalla la densa atmósfera de tensión permanente, miedo y ansiedad que debería perseguir a los protagonistas en todo momento. La primera parte de las Reliquias es incapaz de funcionar por sí misma y sólo da al espectador una sensación de calma antes de la tormenta, lo que, al menos en mí, hace albergar la esperanza de que la segunda parte sea realmente cargada, trepidante y sobrecogedora.

The worst Potter after The Goblet of Fire. What did actually happen during those two hours? Absolutely nothing. Thumbs up for the short animated sequence, the rest I would edit it into the second part as a 15 minute introduction and I would burn what’s left. Boring.

I don't know if this is a fantasy tribute to Satantango, but the fact is that, if all the shots were thrown out where the characters were mindlessly stumbling or looking soulfully into nothingness, there would be about 30 minutes of film left and I would have a hard time defending its purpose. The entire Harry Potter series has since become an unbearably stretched and non-inventive spectacle on the silver screen, which includes purposeful piling of meaningless branches and the creation of soap opera odor. Yet even in terms of character rendering, it is poor and dead tired, without sparkle and anything that would keep a person’s attention who does not look at it as an overpriced illustration of a book. Utterly useless, boring, and I dare say even a stupid half-part.

The seventh book is unnecessarily, although readably, drawn-out in the first half; and the second half has a fateful finale as we like them best. It’s movie adaptation has only got half way so far (somewhere around page four hundred of about six hundred), but it’s already better than the book at least in that Yates succeeded in approaching it in a way that doesn’t come across like unnecessarily watered down porridge. And if so, certainly less than the book is. Thanks to the convincing (!) emotions, the finally acting well central trio, the great atmosphere and Desplat, it works wonderfully. It’s true that there are a few scenes that stand out in quality above the others, but even so, the movie works primarily and mainly as a whole. But still, it is evident that where the creators dared to let their fantasy loose and not to stick word for word to the book, the movie is clearly at its best. Now all I can wish for is for Yates to manage to deal with the special effects-full, epic second part, while not forgetting those emotions and characters. If he manages that, we’ll have something to look forward to. But if he doesn’t, we will really have something to “look forward to".

The world of magic has truly entered the darkest of times, but despite what random critical outbursts might suggest, it has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the film adaptation. David Yates and Steve Kloves had a challenging task of transforming the "slower and more talkative" part of the Deathly Hallows into separate explosive blockbusters. The director stood out with incredible bravura, and whether the Trio is leaving home, the Tale of the Three Brothers is being told, or the horcrux is being destroyed, the magical atmosphere literally shines from the screen. However, Kloves' screenplay occasionally takes shortcuts, and if I didn't know the source material backwards and forwards, I would be quite lost. But even though Bill and Fleur become members of the Order from one minute to the next, when they never appeared in the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Minister Scrimgeour steps onto the scene only to quickly depart from it, the criticisms are hard to find in the outcome. The overall impression for me screams that from four hundred pages full of expectations of great things and the fulfillment of smaller ongoing goals, an epic fantasy has been created full of intoxicating moments and such sincere private drama that it takes your breath away. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince have now gained a successful companion, and if David Yates was the king after the previous installment, he is slowly running out of room to climb.

I feel like this doesn't have much to do with good old Harry Potter anymore. It's all a bit too dark and the Hogwarts atmosphere is sorely lacking. I still respect Harry as a fan though. I'm just of the opinion that a "new" viewer won't be impressed by this installment (at least the first part). At times I feel like I'm watching a Canadian thriller. I give it 4 stars, but on a completely different scale than the previous installments. But I'm looking forward to Part 2 anyway.

The weakest Harry Potter instalment split into two parts? Oh dear, we're raking in the dough, we're raking in the dough. And unfortunately it phoned it in – the first part is boring. A fairy tale with thriller elements and coincidentally uncovered graves. It's sad, but as a fan, I'm disappointed. The music, the actors, the effects – nothing new, lackluster and drawn out. A brick on you. The second part might finally make you cry; so far it's been nothing but smirking. I had fun making fun of it. Otherwise, I was yawning. Sorry, Harry, you were acting like Frodo, and I won't forgive you for that. A weaker 3 stars.

Now I’ve reached the age where I have read all of the Potter books, but it’s so long ago now, that I can’t remember anything more than the main plot and how they ended. Yates understands (but the studio doesn’t yet) that most of the fans have aged considerably (personally I first got to know Harry and his friends in the ninth grade and a whole lot of water has flown under the bridge since then) and, starting with part five, has begun slowly but surely to shift from slightly rugged fairytale into a dark fantasy which suits us, over-aged kids, better now. Part seven also has the advantage that it radically differs from its younger brothers in its most fundamental aspect. We are no longer shut in at Hogwarts, but we are beginning to move around, far and wide around the entire, well... British Isles. The visuals in the first half of Deathly Hollows are entrancing (the sea) and yes, I also mean the ingeniously handled insert about the three brothers. Desplat’s music is probably the best possible substitute for Williams’ awesome soundtracks. The cast give their very best performances (after all these years, they have their characters nailed) and because the story has been divided into two, they have a lot of room to strut their stuff. They are clearly saving Snape for the finale and Voldemort is at last truly demonic. It was interesting that although it was a little slow-moving, I wasn’t bored for a minute. In fact this made me want to see the last half and maybe read the books again. Sometime. So, our last meeting is in six month’s time, Mr. Potter.

Watching teenagers run around in the woods for 140 minutes is borderline torture. David Yates rips off Nolan's Batman themes at every turn, but doesn't understand that that alone doesn’t make a good movie. Because when the actors don't have anything to work with, and there is not a single memorable scene that will make it worthwhile, the result is more than trivial. An unfinished, poorly made film with no drama, where they drown in lavish camera panoramas and robust music, forgetting everything else that made the Harry Potter franchise a success.

The first half of the great Potter finale is unexpectedly quiet and conversational, but it certainly doesn't hurt, because it is without exception superbly acted. The establishing part, which makes you realize how far not only the characters, but also their representatives have come since 2001, is probably the best of all. The tension is almost palpable for the whole 140 minutes, the gloomy atmosphere as well, but the screenwriter and director still know when they can afford something to lighten things up and the viewer doesn't get bored. The action start was top notch, while the ending with Bellatrix and Dobby is one of the most impressive moments of the whole series. And Alexandre Desplat got to compose the music, which was a safe bet.

The first installment of the final part of the Potter saga was really good, IMHO. David Yates made a much better and more mature directorial effort after the weaker sixth film, and I would place (in terms of rating) right next to the amazing The Prisoner of Azkaban. I couldn't find a single moment during the entire runtime where I was bored. On the contrary, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Because of the imperfect The Half-Blood Prince, I found a few awkwardly executed moments – like Bill's explanation of the scar – but that's acceptable. The leading trio has undergone an acting evolution over this decade, and here I found the first hints of better acting, perhaps because of the most emotional plot of the whole heptalogy. I liked Alexandre Desplat's music very much, it didn't stand out in any way, which is why I don't understand the fuss about it. The camera work was impressive, mainly due to the well-chosen locations. And as for the visuals and effects, I guess they couldn't disappoint here, considering the quarter-billion-dollar budget. In conclusion, I must praise the amazing rendering and visual resolution of The Tale of the Three Brothers, during which the Burton-like atmosphere breathed on me.

After The Prisoner of Azkaban, it's probably my favorite installment, though in my opinion, it was overshadowed by the second one where a lot happens, but I'm not sure if it's to the story's benefit. That's mainly because I generally have issues with the seventh book. It's all wrapped up just as expected. This first film has tension in how everything unfolds and how it all ends.

The first half of the "seventh" probably pissed me off the least of all the instalments I've seen so far, because it sticks to its source material really faithfully (I understand that some trimming of the plot is necessary so that a viewer unfamiliar with the book doesn't get bored – but in this case it didn't much bother even me, a multiple reader of all volumes). Moreover – as we have become accustomed to, the script itself is nothing particularly great, the main assets are traditionally the directing, music, and the increasingly mature, believable, and extremely likable actors (the central trio from Twilight is really ridiculous compared to the Harry Potter trio.:)) A couple of very strong moments, which to my delight were filmed almost exactly as I had already imagined them in the source material, enhanced the perfect experience and increased my anticipation for the second part. 4.5 stars – seen in the IMAX cinema at Flora – 18 Nov 2010, 7:00 p.m.
