It was pretty awesome. I must say I was disappointed at some parts. All in all it was a GREAT movie and worth seeing. I want to go again!!!

In my opinion, it was no way screwed up like the Prisoner of Azkaban. PoA had all the events topsy turvey and OotP was atleast chronologically correct from the book. Sure they left out LOTS of scenes and added a few that weren't in the book, but I think they did a great job. Atleast they kept in Kreacher.

You have to remember that Order of the Phoenix is the biggest HP book yet

No, it's the biggest book. The 7th is shorter.

And I don't think the third movie was ruined, it was adpated for the screen and done by a creative director. I liked it BECAUSE it was new and didn't follow the book too heavily. The messages, however, still came across well.

I was lucky enough to go to an advanced screening    and yeah it didn't follow the book all that much but I loved it (and I'm not really a big fan of the movies). The fight scene near the end was incredible and it still kept the usual sense of humour throughout.

It was pretty bad. I don't care how long the book is. If they think it's too long for one movie they should just not do a movie. Like c'mon.

It wasn't great. Not the worst movie ever but I wouldn't want to see it again... Not enough action.

Post by: hunerman on July 12, 2007, 12:14:24 am
ya they cut and rushed to much, but wat can you expect, the book was like 700 pages, thatd be like a 3-4hour movie, whichd be tight but too long

cant wait for the new book to come out

Post by: Babelonians on July 12, 2007, 12:29:20 am
i JUST saw it. i thought it was SPECTACULAR. i read the book right when it came out and then again like last summer. I wish i had read it again before the movie came out. But ya i thought it was amazing since i thought it wouldn't be that great because that was my least favorite book. but i thought it was spectacular. The fight scene with Dumbledore and Voldmort was simply awesome. ya my thoughts.

Man Castille you are a tough pleaser. lol

Agreed.

I'm not a strict movie-must-be-like-the-book kind of person (and my opinion could be influenced by the fact that I haven't read book 5 in a long time), but I thought the movie was definitely, for the least, well-made.

smeeth i agree with you, but i'm pretty much only tough to please when it comes to the Harry Potter movies. Which im sure is influenced by the fact that i've read the books like 6 times each. But having read the book so mcuh i didnt feel like the movie made total sense with everything they left out.

NO!


Spoilers ahead!  *gasps*


They left out a few things, but atleast most of it wasn't big like they've done before.  I can only rember a few things that were missing (though, it's been almost two years since I've read it):  How Umbridge found out about the DA was different, though, I think it was necessary to help set up for the next movie.  The part where the twins left was cut short and their memorial wasn't there.  Quite a bit was cut off when they went back into the Ministry.

The girl who played Luna did the part well.  I can't rember where I've seen her before.  Watching Ginny react to Harry and Cho was great too.

haha i liked Luna. she was good. I wanted to see everyone flooding the Weesleys store at the end (i think that was the end of the 5th where they told everyone to go to their store for the products). also i wish it was someone else for Umbridge. not the greatest. also, Unbridge found out and the chick that told her got like pimples and stuff because the sheet they signed was jinxed

Umbridge felt completely wrong at the beginning, but she did fit the character quite well (other than looks).

I forgot about the pox thing.  That actually would have worked better than what they did with Cho.

I think Umbridge wasn't ugly enough... Also I liked Luna she played the part really well.

Hahaha, my friend who was sitting next to me kept saying that Luna was on crack.

I guess I'm the only one who finds harry potter to be a sleeper. Complexity is easy.

Luna for Lunatic! Best character I think, besides the cat that ate the ear.

I don't think you know that person.

Movies don't need to be complex to be fun!

I was a little weirded out during the first half... But Jesus, the acting was so much better than the other movies, especially the second half and Sirius/Harry. Daniel is REALLY getting good at acting.

Anyone who says this movie isn't as good as the others is either too young or needs to be blown up.

Luna Lovegood was excellent! Entirely what I expected of her. Who played her? Whoever she is did a fantastic job.

lol ill actually agree with that it was pretty good

Post by: Pinwheel on July 15, 2007, 10:57:44 pm
Just saw it this afternoon. I thought not only had the principal actors gotten much better but that Luna and Umbridge played their parts particularly well. Bellatrix was also well acted for the small portion she was in it, but this'll be more important in the next film where she plays a larger role. This was probably the best of them in my opinion.
Title: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Post by: Castille on July 15, 2007, 11:20:06 pm
i thought bellatrix came off as a trashy whore more then a deranged killer and umbridge wasnt right for the part but hey opinions are opinions
Title: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Post by: smeeth on July 15, 2007, 11:30:17 pm
Ya, I got this feeling that Bellatrix was a whore more than a deranged killer. She just wasn't scary enough.
Title: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Post by: Castille on July 15, 2007, 11:36:00 pm
yeah plus they dressed her like a whore. and rather then coming off as crazy she came off as like a crack addict she just wasnt very good
