I enjoyed it. My wife thought the plot was thin, but she hasn't read the books and probably doesn't remember the others well. I can't help but wondering if she was right -- certainly it doesn't seem to add much to the overall plot.

I love the comment on Fiennes " Mr. Fiennes is an actor for whom a walk on
the darker side is not just a pleasure, but liberation. His Voldemort
may be the greatest screen performance ever delivered without the
benefit of a nose; certainly it's a performance of sublime villainy."

On the usenet fan group, one writer comments:

" lot of loose ends that are tied up for the book remain throughly
untied in the movie especially as far as the bad guys are concerned"

I think there's an IMAX version, I shall go see that also.
