AVADA KEDAVRA to this Muggle filth

Rating: 2/10 (27 July 2007)

I LOVE the Harry Potter series; this was my favorite book so you can imagine my excitement when the movie came out. After reading some of the reviews I feel like I missed something because my excitement quickly turned into frustration as I spent most of the movie pulling at my hair and yelling at the screen. I cannot believe that it took 2 years to create a movie that strayed so far from the book that to call it Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is false advertising.
I am a realist and forgiving when it comes to the time constraints the movie creators are dealing with. Turning an 875 page book into a 2.5 hour movie is quite a feat, it's just too bad that it was just a waste. I sat through the movie waiting and hoping that something good would come. I told myself that as horrible as the movie is, the ministry will be the saving grace of the movie, sorry, just as Harry notes in the graveyard scene in the 4th movie, his mother was not there to save him this time, just as there is absolutely nothing in the Muggle or Wizarding world that could have saved this movie.
There are so many time-line inconsistencies as well as inconsistencies with actual events. When I read the book I hoped that all of the brilliant parts of this book would be included in this movie, even though I knew they wouldn't be so you can imagine my surprise when I saw that a young James and Young Sirius had been cast, yes! They're going to do the memory. Well it was like most everything in the movie, disappointing. The best part about this movie was Lucius Malfoy's outfit.
Here are just a few questions: 1) why is it that Dudley seemed like he was doped up on something? 2) Where was the script, most of the time you are sitting and watching while listening to music, as beautiful as the soundtrack is, I can listen to that later? 3) Where were Dumbledore's glasses? 4) Where were Voldermort's sleeves?, can we say too much skin?. 5) Why did we see so little of Bellatrix, McGonagall, and Snape? 6) Where was the "baby headed" Death Eater? 7) Priori Incantatum?? I thought that could only happen with twin cores that was a cheap, pathetic way of doing such a powerful part of the story, but what do I know?
To the writers of the movie, FYI the script has already been written, READ IT! I will continue to vent about this movie but I leave with this, in the Dark Lord's words "I confess myself disappointed."
