Superb book is turned into a disappointing movie

Rating: 5/10 (24 July 2008)

The Harry Potter series is very well-written, almost genius on the part of J.K. Rowling. This movie served the fifth book no credit, and almost ruined it completely. It was nearly all action throughout the whole movie and was very confusing for viewers who had not previously read the book.
I'm very disappointed that David Yates is directing the last three movies, as well as "The Giver" which is one of my favorite books. I'm hoping he'll improve in some way, which is doubtful, but what can you do.
