    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

    ★★★★★

    One of the few reasons why I’m begrudgingly excited for the series is that they can fix everything post-Neville’s stand.

    Harry and Voldemort fighting around the castle is cool, but that final showdown in front of nobody, Voldemort evaporating and the Elder Wand talk at the end just irk me. You could have squeezed so much more emotion out of all that.

    Two things they won’t improve though: the Prince’s tale and the resurrection stone sequences. I bawl like a baby every single time.

    Kind of struck me on this watch how much this feels like a Scorsese joint.

    The power of montage!

    I’m not sure I’ll ever get over Ledger in this movie. Few “big” performances since have even come close to the level of immersion he got to here.

    It’s the hair, the makeup, and the posture, but what sells it most for me is that damn voice.

    How does an Australian make himself sound like that? What the hell did he even hear that set him on the course to get there? And how does he make it work so…

    I’m sorry I will just never be able to get mad about a movie that goes out of its way to show us George Wallace and Ronald Reagan getting popped.

    Hundreds if not thousands of dorks that were under the age of 16 (myself included) when The Dark Knight came out are vindicated in their obsession.

    Incredible movie, Ludwig Göransson is a god among men.

    I’ve been eager to revisit this after Killers of the Flower Moon. Being only a few minutes longer, it’s interesting to see how Marty utilizes each film’s length and to what purpose.

    Killers spends every available minute immersing you into a time and place that’s been both overlooked and underserved before now, using its final minutes to reckon with its own role in the tragedy-to-entertainment cycle. Irishman puts a character’s glory days and shopping of their own casket 50 years later…
