Fair Movie Could Have Been Better

Rating: 6/10 (8 March 2006)

I enjoyed the movie, but think it was rather rushed. The base cast did their usual good job portraying their respective characters. The catch here is that maybe the director tried to put too much into a film this length. The original idea to release the movie in 2 parts (Ala. Kill Bill) might have been better. The film as released left a lot of holes in the story as written. While I agree some of the sub plots were not missed a few others were needed to answer questions for some first or second time Potter movie viewers. All in all it was a good movie, but shrinking later stories to fit time should be watched very closely.
I'm waiting and hoping that Order of the Phoenix stays closer to the book.
