Order of the Phoenix (Movie) Reviews

Tucker's Review

Ok, this is the first time I've ever written a review so sorry if it isn't that great :S.

So, from the beginning, I really imagined the whole garden/playground scene way different than it was portreyed in the movie. I figured it would be in the middle of all the houses and not out in the middle of nowhere. At the very beginning before Harry was even introduced into the film I felt like it was the beginning of a horror movie for some reason, no explination for that...maybe I'm just weird. The dementors defenaltly looked wicked! I think the actress that played Ms. Fig was great, she portreyed her perfectly. Another person they picked PEFECTLY was Luna Lovegood's Character! She was amazing! She has always been one of my favorite characters, she even makes me laugh to myself in the books, and this girl portreyed her perfectly. This actress made me love Luna even more! I don't care if Luna is supposidly "Looney" shes freakin halarious! One of my favorite parts with her was at the beginning where Harry sees the Thestrials(sp) and she said "It's ok, I see them too, you're just as sane as me" I laughed SOO hard! OH and the whole "I'm going to go have some pudding now", wow I don't care who you are thats just funny! I think Molly Weasley's character looked different, like as in a whole different person, I don't know if it is or not but I don't remember hearing anything about it but who knows!?

This may not be an important part, like many of the things I'll be complaning about throughout this review but I still wish they would've changed some things, like the part where Harry is supposed to be hearing clatter in the kitchen and gets up to look instead of them just coming straight to his room. I don't know about anybody else but I imagined Grammauld Place WAY different than the movie. I guess I went of the deluxe edition cover and let my imagination run for there. I imagined it as two separate houses and a little space in between where it was. I definatly thought they could've exaggerated the 'looks' of the house a little more on the outside. I was disappointed when we didn't get to see the screaming portrait of Mrs. Black, I think they could've spent a little more money doing that.

Ok I'm just going to skip to the part I can't wait to rant about. DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY! Ok I don't know about anybody else but the Dumbledore's Army is my favorite part of the book and maybe thats why I'm being so picky! I really wish they would've included the DA coins! This may not be important in this movie but they come into a big role in the next one. I do have to say the Room of Requirement was freakin schweet! I wish they would've shown more of how the DA got busted..the right way.

Moving on...I thought the Department of Mysteries was pretty cool lookin. The scene where they're with the prophecies was pretty cool too! Ginny and Luna kicked ass! I wasn't really 'disappointed' but more upset that they didn't put more drama into Sirius being killed. I know it happened quick in the book but it seemed like it happened too quick in the movie. By far my most favorite scene, and I'm sure A LOT of people agree with me, is the dueling scene with Dumbledore and Voldemort! It was GREAT..no it was better than great...it was KICK ASS(sorry for the language)! I think I'm going to see this movie in iMAX soon and I really want to see that scene in there.

Overall I think it was good movie, but could be better. I really wouldn't mind having it be longer and just have an intermission like they did for LOTR and Titanic. People say they would probably lose money, but I seriously doubt it, people are still going to go to it no matter how long it is! It would be really nice if they made the 6th and 7th movie way longer but at least the 7th movie should be really long. Well there's my review, I could go on for ages but I have to stop sometime :).
