Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix : 4 of 5
7.19.2007 7:26 AM \| Link	Since this is the 5th movie in the Harry Potter series, Harry has now caught up to the Planet of the Apes in length, and it still has two more movies to go (which will both be hits, I'm sure)! Even though I haven't read a word of the books, I'm really a fan of these movies, though it helped to have my pal Melinda with me to fill me in on some details (by the way, the good ol' IMDB has a nice FAQ that explains some things). This is a fast-paced movie with a much different feel than the earlier films, since there isn't much comedy relief, and it's really depressing to see Harry so angry and outcast most of the time. There are some great action sequences, especially the wizard battle at the end, and watching Dumbledore and Voldemort fight was really thrilling (with awesome special effects), even though I kept flashing back to Jedi battles! The story is definitely one of those "in the middle" plots, so most of the events are just setting up what's coming in the next movies, but I definitely had a great time watching it! Of course, the kids are really grown up now (which I've mentioned before) - there's a quick scene of Harry from the first movie, and it was such a shocker to imagine that little bowl-haired kid is only supposed to be five years younger! Oh well, maybe they can finish the next two movies before the actors go grey or bald (or both!). Labels: harry potter, movies
