Hi I'd like to give you an honest review of the new movie Harry Potter The Order of Phoenix. Now I did read the book and of course the book was very good and the movie was not as representative of the book as some people advised. The book was too long so they couldn't fit it all into the movie which i understand. However to fit in as much as they could the biggest problem with the movie was that they rushed things too much. They had to go from plot line to plot line too quickly and you couldn't understand half the time what the heck was going on. Most of the time when something very important was being discussed I couldn't understand what anyone was saying coz everyone was talking at the same time. I would not recommend watching the first half of this movie. It you're in it just for the visual sure. You did watch it that way. Your not gonna enjoy the dialogue. Your not gonna enjoy the jokes. Let me tell you about the jokes. They had all this little clips in the book that are kinda funny and you chuckle on them a little and you enjoy. It makes the book a little more interesting. However when you watched the movie they go from a really intense scene to a little joke and there's no time in between the two. So as this sad or intense music is just fading out they told a little joke that your suppose to laugh at and its not funny because your just got a little of something very intense terrible timing in the first half of the movie. Fortunately the second half of the movie redeems itself. When you get into the action scenes in the second half of the movie the very visually appealing especially the final action scene way better than I would have even expected or even imagined that being in the book. Fantastic use of computer graphics something they kind of lack in the first. What was it? Four movies. Yeah they did plenty of computer graphics that came to like animals that didn't really exist but motions and spells and things were visually very appealing in the second half of the movie. Overall I'd say out of 5 stars it gets maybe 3. If you can do half starts 3-1 Just the beginning the first half of the movie had terrible timing making it very difficult to watch and unfortunately still people are gonna go see this movie and say that it is one of the best ever when just because its Harry Potter. You know it doesn't deserve a great review. This is an honest review and you have to understand if you go see this movie don't be expecting the quality that you get from the books.
