Pacing of the Movie?
I havent seen the full cut yet, only watching the 36 min leak online. The first part of the movie seems very rushed and doesnt flow too well. It seems that they try to0 hard to stay true to the book. Does the movie slow down a little bit and flow a little better after the wedding? Of course I am going to see the movie multiple times. What do you think?

When you reach the forest and camping scenes, the film takes a huge turn and slows down a lot. There are a few slow camping scenes at first, and then, after the first traces of Ron's jealousy, the pacing during the camping picks up because a montage starts. That is certainly better. Then you have Ron's leaving, which is a nice emotional moment. More camping, including a slower scene where Harry and Hermione are on the rocks and the more exciting Harry/Hermione dance. It is slower there, but then they go to Godric's Hollow, where it picks up in pace. After Godric's Hollow, there is another slow scene by a snowy river, but that scene leads into the Silver Doe. After the Silver Doe, obviously the film becomes fast-paced again, leading into scenes like the Horcrux Destruction, Ron's Return, Xenophilius and the House Attack, ultimately leading up to the fast-paced Snatcher Chase, Malfoy Manor, and Dobby's death. The film has only around one minute of emotional satisfaction, with a short burial for Dobby, before switching to a breathtaking action scene, and ending abruptly, leaving the audience quite windswept.
So fast-paced and clunky at the beginning, smoother and fast-paced towards the end, with room to stretch and breathe in the middle through slower, emotional scenes peppered with more exciting ones, but not too action-packed. The pacing isn't bad, it is very good. The film doesn't feel long or short at all.
so was it train then diagon alley?
It's perfect.
I think critics are being too picky with the movie.
You dare show your ignorance of the story in my house?
That was incredible. Deathly Hallows is the best film yet in the Potter series, a dazzlingly-well made film, an artsy blend of action, emotion, and impending darkness; boosted by strong performances, stunning visuals and cinematography, and glorious production design. This may well be one of the best films of the year.........
just wondering what you actually think?? haha
I'm tired of loud music that prevents you from thinking about what is going on.
Perhaps that is why some people object to the pacing. They don't know the story, don't know all the stuff that's in the books but just implied in the movie, so they don't have anything to think about.
Comic book movies don't want you to think.
but not in the bad way, it's feel a complity diferent HP movie,
