Worst movie in the franchise

Rating: 5/10 (11 July 2009)

I am a huge fan of the books, and I must add that all of the movies have failed to impress me. I just wish there was the same level of devotion to Rowling's work in this franchise as there was to Tolkien's work in the Lord of the Rings franchise. The movies are usually decent, but as a die-hard fan I crave to see the sparkle that has made her books so special to me. Of all of the movies in the series, I find this one to be the worst. The director and the screenwriters have obviously not read all of the books in the series. This is just an every-day movie for them. I wanted to see some of my favorite scenes from the Order here; but they were absent or watered down. Some of the really important scenes in the book were completely cut! The screenwriters and director would have had to read the whole series to see the importance of some of these details, which made it obvious to me that they didn't do their research!!!! If I didn't like the actors so well, I would have rated this movie even lower. Yet even they failed to inspire me in this weak addition to the franchise.
