As you'll come to expect from Harry Potter films, it's a bit dull, boring and frankly, goes for too long. I honestly don't know why these films get such good reviews but anyway, Deathly Hallows - Part 1 only really sets it up for the climatic battle that we all know is coming in Part 2. The film doesn't do such a good job at explaining the importance of the Deathly Hallows, and it can be hard to follow the plot if you haven't read the books already. Although surprisingly, they have followed the book quite faithfully. Sure, there were some shortening of certain events, but for the most part, everything was there. It would have been better if they could have fleshed the Ministry infiltration section further, to show the amount of planning Harry did beforehand, and the tension once they were within the building. Since this film adapts the first half of the book, it's also the more boring half, being the overly long camping/on-the-run-without-aim sequence. Harry and Ron becomes a little bit unlikable due to how they act. They never fully explained how the Snatchers managed to find them (the name "Voldemort" was jinxed, whoever spoke it would be traced), things just... sort of happened, as the plot required it. The ending is supposed to leave you hanging for the second part, but it's hard to feel the urgency since the true extent of Voldemort's dangerous nature was never shown.
