Review of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) by Eric H — 06 Aug 2014

A lot of people criticise this movie. Before I watched it I though I'll be disappointed but contrary was the case. Helena-Bonham Carter as Bellatrix was pretty fantastic, she did very good job. As well Evanna Lynch aka Luna Loved or Imelda Stunton aka Dolores Umbridge.

David Yates' direction really gives the film a sense of momentum and dread. Watching the film, you begin to realize the Potter story is about to get very grand, and very dark (thanks to David, the story feels dark already, and wonderfully so).

The first paragraph of this comment was inspired from the tension I felt watching the film, as several adult characters would quietly confess to Harry: "it feels like it did before..." Yates grabs hold of that feeling and doesn't let it go for the entire film.

Even after the jaw-dropping climax, you feel that this is not the end of troubles to come for Harry, Dumbledore and all of the order....not even close. The war between good and evil has officially begun, and one side shall not live so long as the other side survives.

..Now go see this movie.
