(603 reviews) HP & the Order of the PjoenixI love the Harry Potter books and movies but this was a disappointment. Too many pieces were left out. I expected to see the hospital seens with Mr. Weasley. I expected more of Fred, George, Ginny and Neville. The seen where Harry was taken from Little Whinging was disappointing. The whole entourage was missing. I did like Luna Lovegood. They should have done more with Professor's Snape's character.
I think the first three movies were best. The should bring back Chris Columbus.
This movie just feels rushed. There's too much Harry and not enough of his cohorts without whom he wouldn't succeed. May 12, 2008
highly disappointing adaptation
"Order of the Phoenix", as a novel, is mostly about character development. This is the novel where Harry and his friends truly begin to grow up. For this reason, the cut the movie producers decided upon hurt, mostly because they made many poor decisions in what to cut. Cuts are necessary, but must be done intelligently. However, the cuts are not the fatal flaw of the film. No, that's the climatic battle with the Deatheaters. Here is where we are supposed to truly glimpse the mortal danger Harry and his friends are in. Instead, we get a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Watching it, I came away with an overwhelming sense the Deatheaters were going easy on the kids, because they were kids. You never feel they are actually in any real danger. Completely kills the movie. Overall, I've liked the film adaptations. This one was botched though. Read the book, avoid the film. May 10, 2008
My favorite movie of the 5
Some people may say they took too much out from the book. That may be true, but I loved what they did put in! Disc 2 has some good special features too. May 9, 2008
The Book is Better
Unfortunately, they now have to take more shortcuts with the movies. The 1st 3 movies were very close to the books but now the series is getting much to complicated for the cinema to depict properly. They did a very good job with the movie but once again the book is better. May 8, 2008
Surprises
I think this move was ok, they left a great deal out that would have pulled the movie together better. Maybe the next one will be better. May 5, 2008
