HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS part 2 movie review

the much-awaited conclusion of Harry Potter series starts showing tomorrow, July 14 2011 worldwide and i am thankful for Warner Bros. Philippines for inviting me to an advanced special screening in 3D.

to continue from the last installment, Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) finds the Elder Wand from the tomb of Dumbledore and gains more power in order to kill Harry (Daniel Radcliffe). as he gathers more and more army of dark wizards, Harry and his friends Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) are off to find the horcruxes and destroy it.

from the first installment of Deathly Hallows, excitement arises in the developments of the movie. and from this 2nd part, the movie focuses on the battle of Harry and Voldemort. being a movie fan, not really read the books, i was also surprised from the back stories of each character. what you're gonna discover their roles on the life of Harry and what have they done to protect Hogwarts. a surprise hero called Longbottom grabbed the limelight killing the last horcrux.

the darkest of all the Harry Potter movies, this has improved from the kiddie-tone since Sorcerer's Stone. even the soundtrack is very Gregorian that you will anticipate something wrong to happen. however, the execution isn't that magical -- in fact, more realistic. it's good to watch in 3D too.

at the end, you will find that something is lacking. just don't leave your seats and enjoy the movie.

to the guys, this is an eye-opener on the world of the ladies. understanding why they can't understand guys and vice-versa. it's knowing how to treat them and sometimes they really want the deeper sense of what they want. and here in this play, you will learn the why's and how's of a woman.

TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON movie review

on the third installment of the car-robot franchise, Transformers: Dark of the Moon will give you a hi-intensity killer machines that we believe to be the saviors of the universe. good to see in 3D especially in SM digital cinemas and IMAX theaters across Manila.

set in two different times, 1969 and the present, we once believed that the expedition on the moon is just human excitement. but as NASA is at the discovery of a very classified information, they have launched Apollo 11 to the moon. and there the existence of rather more complex intelligence exists and the citizens of Cybertron are upon us.

in the present time, Sam Witwiki is in the search for a job to make his parents ever prouder and for the future with the new girlfriend. but once the job is acquired, he is also hunted by the Deceptecons. being the messenger and the one closest to the Autobots, Sam is the perfect gateway to get into the headquarters. and they had it successful and Sentinel had betrayed them.

however, Autobots can't leave us all by ourselves. they still have the attachment to the human beings and they will serve the humans and protect the planet. it's good to see other robots like Shockwave, Sentinel, Megatron and the others giving a full blast in the movie. one thing that i just find weird is Carly, (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) in any way she gets rolled or jumping from falling buildings and crashing choppers, she never gets dirty and still maintain that poise. she didn't have that same charm as Megan Fox though. and Patrick Dempsey is a villain! i'm just not used to it since he was this goody-goody leading man from movies and TV series and i think it lacks that acting power.

and for a Transformers movie, you will really expect machine details like the first installments. you will be just get used to it.
