"Class Dismissed," a review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 by Manohla Dargis, focuses more on the growth between the first and last movies than the final movie itself. The New York Times' critic's pick article first discusses the actors, and the growth of their skills from Sorcerer's Stone to Deathly Hallows Part 2. Then it talks about visual effects for a while, and goes again into acting - mentioning the plot in passing. The article is more of a discussion of the franchise than the movie.
This is not exactly what we should do for our movie reviews, but it brings to light an important point - not all reviews are created equal. We should have more license in what we want to cover about the movies. We should also review a movie that we enjoy or we think is relevant, as opposed to a movie from a list.
