With only four days to go until the opening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2, here in North America, I've come up with a great way to get yourself even more excited about the movie than you already are.
Step one is to go to Rottentomatoes.com, the website for all things movies.
Step two: read all the reviews from Great Britain for the film, which has already been released there.
Step three: watch all of the video tidbits they've posted, which include movie trailers and scenes from the new movie.
If that doesn't get you revved up, nothing will.
The professional reviewers from Great Britain are unanimously thrilled with this final film. Several of them pointed out that this is a situation that almost always leads to disappointment (high expectations plus a long wait = a big let down), yet somehow the movie makers have managed to turn out a product that is both exciting and emotional. They all call the final instalment of the film series a fantastic way to end.
I'm most pleased by the fact that, according to the reviewers, the action doesn't overwhelm the emotion of this final film. Sure, Part 2 has tons of action (one reviewer said it has more action than the previous seven films combined) but it also allows the characters (and the fans) the chance to feel the end of the journey.
As for the video bits on Rotten Tomatoes, well, there are too many to cover here. Suffice it to say, some are amazing, some interesting and surprising and some suggesting of disappointments to come for fans of the books. Still, getting a chance to watch just a little bit more from the new movie has only served to crank the anticipation up even more.
Four more days. Wow.
