HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 1

Recommended. Previous Harry Potter movies failed trying to extract the core of the plot. Now the makers have slowed down - half a book per movie is just the pace. Acting has also reached its peak. Everything else is just perfect as well.

MR. NOBODY

Watchable. The scientific (the theory of chaos) and science-fiction (immortality through telemerisation, gene-compatible pigs kept as pets, trips to Mars) bits are the best elements of the film. The rest is quite philosophic and depressingly romantic.
When you have lived all your alternative lives and have been heartbroken in each, immortality isn't enticing. But then, when you think of the misfortunes that happen to everyone in life, would anyone really crave immortality if it were feasible?
