Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix... Let me begin by saying if you have not read the books you will LOVE this movie... Visually it is Amazing!!!!! The director was great and the acting is phenomenal. However... they have butchered the story line. Now I understand that there was a lot of "fat" in this 870 page book (fyi: the longest of the series thus far) But I feel that there were some KEY facts that were left out of the movie. They may not be so important now but I feel that they will be come book 7 and if that is the case they have shot themselves in the foot because you need explanations in prev. movies so that the end will not be over-crowded with them... Also The Dementors SUCK A**!!!!! I can't believe that they changed the style of them, the beginning was totally screwed up and rushed, and the music sucks in this one. I understand the need to have the music be darker being that voldemort now poses a true threat, but it's lost it's magical feel. The woman who plays Umbridge did so to perfection! In that I wanted to reach up and strangle her! Which is exactly how I felt reading the book... Overall I am still 50/50 on it, I really liked it visually with only a couple complaints, the direction was fantastic, and the actors really were great, but i feel they have shot themselves in the foot story wise on this one... we'll find out for sure on saturday won't we?
