| | | First review of OotP online now
The first review of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is now online. Quote:
The acting skills of Radcliffe (Harry), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Emma Watson (Hermione) have improved, but not enough to truly flesh out the characters and provide the narrative depth that this transitional, plot-advancing film needs. They have got “angry” and “determined” down pat at this point, but struggle somewhat on the more nuanced grimaces. Harry’s bellowing cod-psychoanalysis of Voldemort is jarringly awful.
Quote:
Of the adult actors, Imelda Staunton as Dolores Umbridge – Dumbledore’s usurper at Hogwarts – is exquisitely dislikeable. Helena Bonham Carter as the villainous Bellatrix Lestrange is a shining but underused talent.

It's actually what I had expected... although it is maybe a bit harsh

I don't like those quotes of the review  *pokes whoever wrote it*
Can't wait for the film though ^^

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |

that is only one person's review. The only review that matters is ours. When we see it than that is going to generate alot of talking.

They're either harsh reviewers... or the film isn't that great...
But I'm going with the first one here because I think this is going to be the best one yet!

Well, all that I care about is seeing the movie and giving it my reviews. My thoughts about movies are never the same as critics so take it with a grain of salt.

I think the reviewer has missed the point entirely. The stories are meant to get darker, OotP isn't as action-packed as GoF. In fact, the joyful glimpses are imo too many, because they undercut the tension in places.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Alicia Cranberry | I guess the reviewer had seen a lot of down sides to the actors' emotions. Quote:

She only had 3 lines. But from what i've seen so far she is very good at playing Bellatrix. *cackles*
