My wife and I saw it yesterday. The movie was OK. If we hadn't seen all the others, I probably would have happily passed on this last one. We wasted the extra money to see it in 3D. I think 2D would have been much more than adequate. Very few things in the movie took advantage of 3D capability.
The best part of the movie was to see how much the children had grown. What started as 10-year-old actors in the first film are now young adults and some of them really took off in terms of growth.
Perhaps one of the worst things about the final installment was that many of the characters, for example, Hagrith, had very bit parts that were wholly unnecessary to the story. In fact, it is never explained how Hagrith was captured by Voldemort's minions nor why he was at the final battle between HP and Voldy.
One of the best things about the movie was the 19 years later segment, especially the glimpse of Draco and family.
Well, the best I can say for the final HP movie is that it isn't the worst movie I have seen (nor the best) but that it was interesting how they managed to leave so that future episodes (the next generation) could be forthcoming should Rowling decide that a billion dollars is too small a sum.
