I saw it, and for me it was easily the best of the bunch. I didn't glance at my watch, wasn't aware of the time, and was surprised at how fast the time flew while I was engrossed in the movie. And considering I'd read the books and knew what was going to happen, that's saying something. I even liked the epilogue. But then again, I liked it when I read the book. I especially enjoyed the final shot. A fitting and worthy end for a noble series.

It didn't feel emotionally empty to you? It was a good movie and probably the best or 2nd best (I might put Part 1 over it) of the bunch but I just didn't have an emotional connection to this movie. Maybe I expected too much b/c I loved Part1?

ETA: I think I also felt a certain amount of distance from the first because I knew it was going to end as a cliffhanger, and it was only a first of two situation.

I liked the movie and it was very well done but, I just didn't have the emotional connection to the movie that I expected. I walked out of Part 1 totally blown away, and on an emotional high. I walked out of Part 2, not really feeling much of anything.

It's totally possible my expectations were too high. It could have also been the fact that it was a "dine in" theater which I found extremely distracting so that could have pulled me out of the movie as well.
I did like the movie, in fact my only complaint was the Neville scene confronting Voldemort how they were still making fun of him. I guess they didn't have time to go into it but I wish they had commented that Neville turned into a fantastic leader. I also didn't like that Harry told Ron/Hermione to kill the snake and not Neville.

I must have totally forgotten them making fun of Neville. I do think it's telling, though, that Neville was able to kill the snake when clearly Ron and Hermione could not. I took that as yet another sign that Neville, who was born on the same day as Harry, was also integral in the death of Voldemort. If he had not killed Nagini, then Harry could not have killed Voldemort.

I just saw this. IMO, the clear winner for best of the series. I did really think for a minute there that Kloves' "Hermione Uber Alles" attitude was meant Hermione was going to kill Nagini, but I guess even Kloves couldn't do that.
I didn't mind that it was the Death Eaters who made fun of Neville. I thought they kind of did in the book too, and really, don't you want your enemy to underestimate you? I was reminded again how much I really want JKR to write the Hogwarts Year Seven book, starring Neville, Ginny, and Luna though. And yeah, frankly, whenever Kloves deviated from the book, it was a far less engaging story. Ah, well. Naught to do now but wait for the reboot.
