**Jack cries at his lack of Pocket Monster knowledge** Fun fact: If you strap a voltorb to someone's nuts, you can recreate a scene from 24.

I want to rant about DH:2 a little, but the movie thread didn't seem appropriate. *clears throat*
When Voldemort died, I wanted to start bellowing the lyrics to "Dust In The Wind". So fucking stupid; I was positive that he did NOT disintegrate like an eliminated Buffypire, and my roommate reminded me how the book made a point of saying they laid his body out far away from the other dead.
I walked back into the theatre right in the middle of the final fight, and I am SO pissed off about that stupid fight scene. As weird as some of the ideas in the last book were, I much prefer the relatively calm, intent way that Harry faced Voldemort down for the last time. He explained to the people around them what was going on, he explained to Voldemort how little Voldie really knew, and he offered the monster a last chance at redemption. There wasn't that hurtling through the air, clinging to one's enemy nonsense, Voldie just got pissed off and tried to Avada Harry's ass, Harry pulled his typical Stupify, and Voldemort's wand rejected its user by regurgitating the Avada curse onto Voldie.
AVADA KEDAVRA DOES NOT TURN YOU INTO ASH!
Also the mine cart. FUCK ME, the fuckin' mine cart ride. Surely goblins of all people are more efficient than THAT nonsense. I've always pictured it as a much more subdued ride, a bit long granted, but just them going far deeper into the line of the vaults than ever before.
Helena Bonham-Carter acting like Hermione acting like Bellatrix was pretty great, though. I can't believe I'm using this adjective for her, but she was ADORABLE.

He grabbed Harry by the throat. Seriously, Voldemort fought like a Muggle.

If he'd actually used Muggle tactics in the books, he might actually have won, but nay-- his pride was, evidently, far more important than his victory. He lived like a Dark wizard and he died like one... ...NOT LIKE A BLOODY VAMPIRE AGH I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT FUCKING ENDING AGGGGGGGGGGH! Amaranth: Don't make me point my wand at you.

Someone, somewhere is going to dub that ending to the Nerf Herder Buffy Theme. You just know it. ...Wand, eh? Tell me more....

Just finished watching it in bad quality, & I have to say, that wasn't a very good movie.
Why did everyone explode? Why did they omit scenes that were key not only emotionally but to allow you to follow the plot? Why is that the best they can do after they split it into 2 parts?
It's not even They Changed It Now It Sucks. I think the Wizard Duel ending is a lot less anticlimactic, in theory, but that just wasn't very good. If there's anything they changed that turned out well, it was the confrontation with Snape.
