The movie had a good opening, but then it sort of fizzled. Three teenagers on a quest to find and destroy horcruxes is a just a bit too much to swallow, even within the wizarding realm. A big deal was made of Ron destroying the locket, but why couldn't Harry have done it himself? And that scene in which Harry tries to cheer up Hermione with a little dancing was just too sappy and out of place. Still, lots of action carried the story along, and I'm looking forward to watching Part 2!

totally agree...and that weird jealousy bit of ron's, imagining harry and hermione...too over the top...and hated the dancing bit. i think the whole thing was trying to be too artsy.
