Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I have just had the displeasure of going to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix. This movie was byfar one of the worst movies i have seen in many a year. First off i would like to point out that i am a hardcore Harry Potter fan and read the books religiously. Even with my love for Harry Potter i couldnt stand this movie. I am going to break this up into a three part review.

First off the movie itself was terrible. When seeing a movie version of a book, you expect it not to have some thing out and be a bit different to save time, but this was overbored. Basically what they must have done is torn out everyother page of the book, then added an entire chapter of crap. I seriously got lost during the movie and had no idea what was going on. Also for some reason they decided to change the attitude of Dumbledore and make him a mean angry man, and not to mention through in one of the corniest lines ever during the fight with Voldermort. I mean of course they couldnt go exactly with the book, but they took things that would have been easily shown in the movie and decided to change it completly. I had a friend who had never read the book before and by the end he had no idea what happened. This movie is not worth an A-. You should be ashamed for lieing to yourself and giving false reviews.

That was the biggest waste of 2 and a half hours of my life.

Anyway some may say i am being mean, but please listen to this. Don't see this movie. Save yourself the time. I mean i would actually rather read the second book again then watch this movie again. If you do still go see this movie, do what i didnt and bring a sleeping mask and a pillow and do something productive during this movie and take a nap.

Edit: While writing this review i forgot to put in the one positive thing they did in this movie and that is they did a good job with Umbridge. I seriously hated her in the movie almost as much as in the book. [source]
