| | |  Another two OotP reviews
Ain't it Cool news has posted another two reviews of Order of the Phoenix. All comments made are based on a film that is still in the process of being finished.
Please note, when clicking the above link, that it does contain language some people may find offensive. Quote:
How many times do we see other big franchises (Stars Wars, Lord of the Rings, etc.) start off with a bang and then blow out like a candle? It's nice to see the opposite happen with Potter: it started off slow and tiny with Chris Columbus's so-so kiddy friendly approach and has really exploded into a series that I think will end up being far more prolific than all of those combined. Yeah that's right, I went there. I can't believe I'm saying this, but this new one makes Lord of the Rings look like a cartoon. And it was only a rough cut!
Quote:
I think that these movies just keep getting better. I think that Azkaban and Goblet of Fire were amazing and this stands up next to them.
I would have to say that this movie is another Harry Potter success coming in just below Goblet of Fire on my favorites list. It's great to see these actors mature and truly have ownership of their roles. I give this movie an A-
Quote:
For once the story is actually easy to follow. Usually I have to bug my friends with all kinds of stupid questions but this time I got it and somehow actually managed to remember most of the names.
Quote:
The cinematography was PHENOMENAL. Very classy old school approach that really takes advantage of widescreen. Think Dr Zivango, Lawrence of Arabia, etc. Very epic feel.
Quote:
Umbridge was a pretty interesting villain to watch. Very unlike what you'd expect. She's even scarier than Voldemort by the end of it. Although maybe that's a bad thing, because I actually didn't find Voldemort too threatening in comparison to her.
Quote:
If you're looking for a big action film that actually has some emotional depth and epic performances for a change, then don't miss this.
Both reviewers make a point of noting that the scenes featuring Hagrid and Grawp don't seem to work with the rest of the film.

Okay to me Grawp didn't seem to really work in the book either, besides the fact he saves Harry and Hermione. I love Hagrid, we all know he's half giant I didn't really care about his half brother. I noticed that in the HBP he wasn't mentioned very much.

Oh great! It sounds like it's the best movie yet... so I can't wait to see it. Although, I think we might be disappointed with Hagrid and Grawp...  | |
