Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Beware spoiler alert.


Saw the film this past Saturday and I thought it was good but a bit rushed. I noticed that someone else wrote the screenplay and I think this might have hurt the film. I haven't read any of the books but since becoming an avid fan of the series I must say that I will be reading the entire series from the beginning. Out of five stars I give it 3.5. The part that really disappointed me was the lack of emphasis given to the death of Sirius Black. I was much more moved by Cedrics death in GOF. And what happen with the Quidditch games? Again good movie but my favorite so far is the goblet of fire.

I saw it on Saturday and I agree with you. It was still a great movie but it seemed short and very rushed. I agree that Sirius' death went by too fast and I didn't even have time to "mourn"!! I really hated that it just happend in a flash and there was not much build up to it or emotion. I have read every book and you REALLY REALLY should read them to get a better propsective about things in the movie that weren't really addressed (like Sirius being called "Padfoot" because he can turn into a dog.. along with the others that could turn into animals, Harry's father included and all their nicknames). Anyway I saw it at the IMAX and there was about 20 minutes of it in 3D, the battle between Dumbledore and Voldermort in 3D was pretty damn awesome!!! That kind of made up for the rest of the movie lacking a bit. They really should make the movies longer because even though I still think it was good, I was disappointed at the same time.

No need to be Siskel & Ebert.

It was the , cant expect it to follow the book as the books have gotten longer and longer, of course iot would be a little rushed with some things left out (Cho being blamed for ratting on the order, lack of Firenze).
The movies are done about as well as they can do them, and the next film will be tougher with the length of it.
I thought it was the best Potter movie they had done
And the new book comes out Saturday

It was good, not great. The whole movie did feel rushed and had a different feel than the previous films. It is the longest of all the books so thats why it probably felt rushed. However, I don't think I care much for this new director or writer. I think Alfonso Curon(Prisoner of Azkaban) has done the best job directing of all the directors. But in no way did this film stop me from being a fan of the series. One thing I really didn't like is that the previous films did a great job tying up all the loose ends within that film. In Order of the Phoenix we are really never told why Voldermort needed the prophecy so much. Why was he after it. And towards the end when Harry and Dumbledorf sat down to talk they did a poor job of conveying to the audience why Dumbledorf stayed away from Harry. Because he didn't want him to hurt anymore than he already was? In the book there is a whole chapter devoted to this scene. Visually, it was spectacular of course, but the movie all in all was like I said, good but not great.
