harry potter and the order of the phoenix - so far, the harry potter movies have been the definition of light entertainment but, fifth time around, they figured out what they were doing. it's dark, scary, and for the first time, there's a real sense of urgency to everything. just the nature of them taking place over an entire school year meant there was a lot of meandering and crap that didn't have anything to do with anything other than what was introduced may be referenced in one of the later movies and we need to put it in just to make sure, but most everything here seemed to be focused on building to the final battle, which is the most exciting thing any of the movies have come up with. the giant was the only thing that seemed out of place and there was an actual sense of magic that'd been missing from the other movies. 8/10.

couldn't disagree more. Harry Potter is about magic and the school, and the characters. There was no need for the supporting cast in this movie and that was disapointing. And where was the plot? It seemed like action for the sake of action. I could get that from Lord of the Rings, or a video game. and the big battle of the dark side versus the good side? sounds like Star Wars. 3/10
