It is an awful movie, not worth renting, and I am a fan.

Rating: 2/10 (14 July 2007)

The only good thing I can say about this movie is that the Death Eaters new masks looked cool, but that isn't anything worth going to see it for. I am a total fan, I know that the movies and books differ greatly, but that never bothered me before. This movie was not only the worst of the series, but in my opinion, one of the most awful movies that I've ever seen. I know that Yates had a lot of book to compact into a movie script, but he seemed to sacrifice the story telling to generate motivational sounding sound clips. I know many other fans of Harry (both the books and the movies) that have said that "The Order of the Phoenix" was the hardest book to read, but the final fight scene in the Ministry was worth the wait. I loved the book and the fight at the end and was not expecting the movie to include all the details of the book, but, and i am sorry, it really sucked. I sat through two hours of choppy cuts and cheesy film making still amped about the final scene. It was a real disappointment, he gave it little attention and when Sirius died (which is important) it was so cheesy and quick. I feel sorry for the people who base their whole idea of Harry Potter from the movies,I believe they will not go back again, and if Yates directs again neither will I.
