Movie Review - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
I got this from Slash Film:
And the Potter film series has improved since Chris Columbus first two films. Alfanso Curon’s Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is arguably the best in the series, followed shortly by Mike Newell’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Two great films by two great directors. So it worried me greatly that the next film was handed over to David Yates, a guy whose imdb resume included a bunch of British television shows and miniseries, and not much else. But fear not my friends, Yates knocks this one home. I was really happy to see Yates play off of the extended sweeping camera shots which Curon introduced in Azkaban. The special effects have also vastly improved over the course of the series.
Phoenix is a visually stunning, multi-layered fantasy adventure that can’t be missed. In a summer of disappointments, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix leaves you happy but wanting more. Sure it has some flaws, but there is much to love. The best two hour version of Order of the Phoenix wouldn’t look much better than this version.
I am happy that this 5th Harry Potter installment delivered the goods well. I still haven’t seen the film but I am really excited to see it on the big screen. I just want to see it with my friends. I think Saturday is a good day to watch this film. Slash Film gave it 8 out of 10 so this movie is really not a disappointment.
