David Yates, you have the right to remain silent.

OK, WHO ASKED THIS GUY TO DIRECT?!?! What IDIOT wrote this thing?!?! I always liked the Harry Potter movies, but THIS...I didn't get a thing that was going on, and I READ THE BOOKS!!! Nothing flowed, it was like the guy in the projection room was fast-forwarding the film at random intervals ("Hey let's have fun with the audience!") The only reason I gave this a 3 was because Umbridge and Luna were FANTASTIC!!!
How are they going to do the last movie if they cut out HALF THE THINGS IN THE PLOT??? The mirror, the necklace, DOBBY?!?! Where was the mourning for Sirius, the angry outbursts, THE QUIDDITCH?!?! And WHAT THE HECK was up with the black & white trails behind the Order people and the Death Eaters??? What happened to the big awesome bad ass fight between Voldemort & Dumbledore?!?!
My mom hates sitting next to me in Harry Potter movies, cuz I talk thru the entire thing...("They didn't do that!!! Why didn't they put that in??? I loved that part, they ruined it!!!") Throughout this movie I wanted to scream.
What was up with the Episode 5 spoofing in the pre-Dumbledore fight??? "Release your anger, strike me down"?!?! WHAT THE HECK?!?! Mentally, I was going, "YO! VOLDEMORT! Just take the lightsaber out, force Harry onto a narrow plank of wood above a deep hole, slice his hand off, and announce that you ARE his father!!!"
Bring back Chris Columbus!!! He did a WAAAAAAAY better job!
One last thing: BRING BACK JOHN WILLIAMS!!! He is one of the BEST score writers EVER! All that is on my iPod is his music from Star Wars and various other things! He wrote some incredible music (buy "Buckbeak's Flight" from the Prisoner of Azkaban soundtrack, it's one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL pieces of music I have ever heard) and it brought the scenes to life. The music from Goblet of Fire and this movie was simply an underscore to the action. BRING JOHN WILLIAMS BACK!!!
Who's with me on this???
Order of the Pheonix used to be my favorite book of the series. Thanks a lot, David Yates.
PS: Who else thinks that kiss went on way too long, and that Ron, Hermione, Malfoy, and Snape needed more lines???
