I would have rather eaten crap right from the butt of a goat!

Rating: 1/10 (26 July 2007)

I am a wholehearted, titillated Harry Potter fan. The first four movies were AWESOME! I have watched them over and over again. I have read all the books more than once. The Harry Potter series is without a doubt hands down the best literary series I have ever read. The movie adaptations of one-four were AMAZING, Great adaptations! All the actors were great as usual!
This fifth piece of crap was a waste of time and money! one of the worst book adaptations I have ever seen, worse than Misery! I understand that The Order of the Phoenix is a very long and detailed book, but for the love of Potter man, this movie SUCKED! I would have rather stood in line for an hour and paid ten bucks for someone to throw warm haggis in my face and then punch me in the ear.
It would have been nice to see a lot of scenes the way the happened in the book, Especially the final showdown in the Ministry of Magic. That wasn't even close. What was all that stuff that never happened in the book doing there. It was like watching some bad soap opera.
I pray David Yates can redeem himself on The Half Blood Prince, I'm doubtful.I can only hope for the love of the free world he is not directing book seven.This is not BBC T.V. it's a major motion picture. Michael Goldenberg needs to get a job doing something else, obviously he doesn't have the skill for adaptation and thats being nice. Steve Kloves however did a great job with the first one so I have full confidence in him adapting the sixth book.
So unfortunately for me my Harry Potter DVD series will be short movie number five, which doesn't even deserve to bear the Harry Potter name, because I won't spend a dime on that rubbish. Maybe I'll find it in the trash so the collection will look complete. I'll be using the disk for a reflector to keep the Deer out of the garden.
