Hey, guys! Saw the movie yesterday. I’m currently writing my review from Las Vegas. I’m on vacay and yet here I am…a movie buff typing up her latest review just for you guys! (Aww…) Now that’s what I call DEDICATION! (Go, self!)
First off, you should know that I’m a massive…MASSIVE…HP fan. So this was one of the films that I’ve really been looking forward to see this year. Second, you should know that Order of the Phoenix is my least favorite book in the series so far. Although…I really loved the confrontation between Harry and Dumbledore near the end of the book. I thought that was classic. I cried my eyes out!
Now for the movie. I liked it. It’s my second fave HP movie (after Cuaron’s Prisoner of Azkaban) BUT although I loved it…I really did…I found it lacking heart. (Sorry, Myra). And the editing was also a bit too choppy for me. Maybe I need to see it a few more times (I always do multiple viewings of Potter movies…faaaaan!) to really form a more solid opinion of why I found it underwhelming. I just needed more from it…
