Better Than The Last

Rating: 7/10 (6 February 2006)

Because of the last movie, I was scared that I would hate this one, because of bad directing. But luckily, I feel this one included everything important. But naturally, I have some criticism.
I feel that they jumped into the storyline too quickly at the beginning, and this can be forgiven - after all, there was a lot to include in the movie, because of the books length. It does make me wonder what'll be forgotten in the 'Order Of The Phoenix' movie.
The cast have just improved so much since the beginning of filming the first film - they're much better actors, and you can feel a lot more empathy with the characters.
I don't agree with sexual references used in the film. It's understandable that they are supposed to be teenagers - but surely the writers understand the age of the children who will view this?
