Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Jul. 15th, 2007 09:46 amMy thoughts on the movie can be summed up quite easily: SO Disappointing.
Now, I understand that a movie can never be an exact representation of the book. Liberties must be taken, cuts must be made. It has to be streamlined for the general public. But does it have to be boring and disjointed, as well? In the case of OotP, I suppose it does. I was horrified to find myself shifting restlessly in my seat as this lumbering, confused giant of a movie stumbled along... wondering when it was going to end and if I was EVER going to be interested in anything that was going on.
( Here there be spoilers... )
