Harry Potter and the Order of the Phenoix (2007)
Appaling. Absolutely horrendous. In my honest opinion, the most terrible Harry Potter book adaptation to date. Out of 5 stars, I'd give it negative infinity if there's such a number. But then again, just my opinion. The book itself is 766 pages long and the movie was only 2 hours and 8 mins long? What the fuck's up with that? For an overzealous fan such as myself, I wouldn't have minded sitting down for an hour longer. Each Lord of the Rings book was shorter, yet each movie was around/nearly three hours long. At least do justice to the book for fuck's sake. I don't know if i should be pissed at the screen writers or the director. Possibly both but less on the director. I wanna castrate their balls, put it on a stick, let it freeze in ice before smashing it up.
The movie itself seemed rushed and really lacked depth or a sense of direction in it. It just moved from one scene to another to another to another. And what's up with the newspaper scene where they just skip out little scene's that could have made the movie a lot more enjoyable. Urgghh! I've got so much pent up frustration and anger against this movie, its annoying me. For those who haven't read the book yet watched the movie, they might have thought that the movie was alright. For those who read the book, who can say they're fully 100% satisfied with the movie? The movie had potential but it let down. I can only say that the first and possibly the second movie's were commendable adaptations. The next one's a goner as I don't see how they can make it movie worthy. It'll just be all about Harry and Dumbledore learning about Voldermort's past. Maybe they'll add the small scenes in the book that made it rich in detail. Who knows. Here's hoping that the last movie will be great. The book was beautifully written.
Probably, the only two things worth mentioning about this movie are these two.
