Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt 2
The finale like its protagonist is a redeemer.

Last film is one of the best. |
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 suffered from summarizing way too much plot, and really should have been expanded to two films - making the concluding book adaptation a trilogy - but given they decided to do it in two, it's best they made the first part the overstuffed one, because that freed up Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 to be the worthy climax we all wanted.
With a few of the horcruxes destroyed, Harry and friends set out to destroy the rest - which leads them back to Hogwarts, and a final showdown with Lord Voldemort and his army, who lay siege to the castle.
Finally we get epic fantasy that is less Chronicles of Narnia, and more Lord of the Rings. And, best of all, everything holds together well. There are only a few small plot holes (unlike part 1, which was rife with them), and generally everything makes sense. Granted, it's all a little predictable, but at lest it's dazzling enough that that doesn't matter so much - besides, most of the series' fans also read the books, so there wasn't going to be much room for surprises anyway.

- All the major plot lines are resolved
- A bit predictable
The Verdict:
**** out of *****
