Sickeningly horrible adaptation of a truly remarkable book

Rating: 2/10 (14 July 2007)

How do you "stupify" an audience of avid canon Harry Potter fans? Force them into a theater, and make them sit through the film adaptation of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".
If only I knew where to begin with this sickening adaptation of a truly remarkable book, this film will honestly make you feel the sublimated desire to stab the director in the eyes with a wand. The plot was drowned out by the void of bad acting, and the inability of the primary actors to properly portray the emotions and situations in the film. Two simple words can sum up this film: "Rushed" and "choppy"; also it had more plot holes than swiss cheese.
The movie either dwelled on certain subjects too much, or not enough at all.
But through all the disappointment in the film, the final battle was a treat, although that (as well) was far too short for liking.
I don't recommend this film for anyone who is a serious follower of JK Rowling's canon work in the novels. But a recommendation for anyone who has yet to read the novel.
2/10. Action was at least halfway decent, but the ill-experienced editing and emphasis on plot (or lack of) completely ruined the film.
