Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

             This review’s gonn’a be of the quick’n’dirty variety because I really don’t want to write about the thing that I found most interesting in H.P. and the D.H. (P.2), and that’s the whole Harry and Jesus thing (equal parts interesting and troubling, and I’m sure somebody else has already done a better job analyzing this than I ever could...).
              Anyways, I wouldn’t fork over any more of my hard-earned cash-money to watch H.P. and the D.H. (P.2) again in the theaters, nor would I Netflix, Redbox, or On Demand it. I also probably wouldn’t sit down and watch much/any of it again were it on The Tube, either. My lack of desire to see H.P. and the D.H. (P.2) again in almost any fashion (with one exception pending...) is not because it wasn’t good--well told, well made, and well acted, with a real kick-arse wizard battle scene or two--merely that it was super intense and neither thought-provoking nor exciting/fun enough to fan the flames of my desire to really sit down and re-watch it.
              H.P. and the D.H. (P.2) was, obviously, the climax to a seven part series, and it was an f’n serious climax at that, ergo it suffers in terms of re-watchability, at least for yours truly. My previously mentioned "one exception" is that I would want to watch it again if I were watching it as the epic conclusion to an epic “Harrathon” (Harry Potter movie-marathon), in which case, it’d be pretty, well, epic.
