Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I can't believe it's still not being discussed.
I already saw it, and it was good. =]
It seems the movie tried to go back to a more colorful mood, similar to the second movie.
It still has the stale and melancholy colors of the fourth movie, but the obscure parts in this one are definitely not like the overall ambiance of the third one to me.

Oh, and the part where Dumbledore fights against Voldemort was exhilarating!
Very cool special effects. I was nearly hyperventilating.

I haven't watched it as of yet, but I'm debating to. I'm not really a huge fan of the films, but I might go & see it for Helena Bonham Carter playing Bellatrix Lestrange. Is she good in the film?

I also heard that lots of things were cut out from the book. I kind of hate it when they do that. Obviously I know they do it to keep to the point & stuff, but it really grates me.

Eh, well if I do go & see it, I'll try not to be too judgemental. I'll probably be looking to spot some guy I know who was an extra in it. Apparently he had a really small speaking part.

It's always fun doing that.

I will be watching this movie today, with my sister and some of her friends. The Harry Potter movie series seems good to me, so I am very much looking forward to this movie.

I'm probably going to see it, although I am growing a bit weary of the series. The only reason I'm reading the last book is to get the satisfaction of finishing what I started.

I'm going to go see it when I get paid on thursday. That way, I don't have to queue for pigging hours or put up with too many overexcited children.

First of all, I never read any of the books and probably never will. Maybe that's why I didn't like the previous movies. I saw this one too, last night, and was rather bored during most of the movie. I found the ending to be entertaining, and a few moments in the beginning. But on the whole, Harry Potter movies just don't do it for me.

I understand that there's no arguing taste, but when everybody likes something and I don't... well, I wonder why that is.

I must say though, that my friends whom I saw the movie with liked it a lot. So I guess those who liked the other movies should probably go see it. Those who think HP is just a whining little failure of a protagonist... don't, obviously.

Damn it harlequin, I accidently clicked on the bigger one, thinking it was a pic of Lestrange.

Anyways I saw the movie and I liked it. But the fourth movie was better, in my opinion.

I saw it yesterday.

I've enjoyed the films so far, though they're nothing in comparison to the books, and Order of the Phoenix was no different from the previous ones in terms of entertainment. Helena Bonham Carter was brilliant as always, and her style was gorgeous. In the movies I can't help but sympathise more with the 'bad guys' just because all the best actors are cast to play them.

I was kind of disappointed with Sirius' death. It just didn't seem as terribly sad as it was when I read it. Other than that though, it was a pretty good adaptation.

The movie was quite good, though I also wish they didn't cut out so many parts. I rented the game for the wii and it was Awsome! I stayed up til 5:30am playing it and I'm not usually a video game person.

I think it was not bad, especially cast-wise. Still they could've done more, with a book like that.

Helena Bonham Carter was frigging awesome. I couldn't help but loving Bellatrix Lestrange, she was cool in a twisted way. Sad thing that I won't get my Sirius Black fix anymore, I hope he's rising from death in the seventh one.

I wonder if those that Harlequinn posted are actually REAL pics. I've seen them before, but don't remember that kind of content in them. Oh well. Cool, though he's never really done it for me.

I think I'm starting to get my first celebrity crush.

I saw the movie yesterday with one of my best mates who I haven't talked to for a year almost, after randomly meeting up with them in town, but throughout the entire film, I noticed that whenever Luna Lovegood was on stage my eyes couldn't leave her. There was even one scene at the end where Harry was blocking her out of the scene and I was cursing the camera operator under my breath.


Well, besides that I thought the movie was an appauling way to show the book, the book was incredibly interesting and easier to understand than the movie. There were some parts that seemed more understandable than they were in the book but in general I didn't like it, but it was still a good movie to see.

I want to see the movie, even though I didn't like the book much. I am NOT a Harry Potter fan at all... at least of the books. The first few were good, but then they began to get a little repetitive. I heard that the movie was good though so I still want to see it.

I'm waiting to "acquire" it. Screw paying money. Except for Transformers. I'm taking my 5yo to see it this weekend. Is it any good?

Actually, the nude shots are actually from a play called Equus that Daniel Radcliffe was in, and yes, he actually was naked in a part of it.

Back to the film, it was great to see Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix and Lucius Malfoy, what can I say.............*drools*.
I wasn't too fond of the fact that they cut so much of the book out of the movie, with this movie being the shortest of the 5 so far you'd think they could add a bit more.

GOOD GOTH AGAIN! LIKE SHE TOTALLY DOES!!!!
Oh, but she's like a combination of Tismine and Cathryn Harrison


(go look up Cathryn Harrison and you'll see what I mean, old underground film actress in such dark notables such as Black Moon, Blue Fire Lady, Portrait of A Marriage, and other films better than Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix)

Oh, I actually had mix feelings about the film. It was alright, but the Bratz movie PWNS (if you think I'm serious, you need some serious pyschological help, NOW.)

Reserving my precious eyeball usage for them hallows, however deathly they are. The movie's going to have to wait.
It does look bomb-diggity though. Bomb-diggity indeed. I may have to upgrade my preliminary estimation to 'the shniz' after checking out Helena Bonham-Carter in it..
