What did they expect, a complete revisionist retelling?īut I think screenwriter Michael Goldenberg did the right thing in this adaptation. I had some grrr moments reading some negative reviews from reviewers who whined and moaned that they’d seen this story before: Harry’s threatened at the Dursleys, he goes to Hogwarts, bad things happen, then he faces off with enemy Voldemort. Which is why we recommend reading the book first, right? I think I’d find the pace breakneck, the plot somewhat scattery and the atmosphere uber-bleak. I wouldn’t want to be going to see this flick without having had the benefit of the prior read, however. In general the film versions of JK Rowling’s tomes have disappointed me, but this one was spot on–a great visual supplement to the book itself. But about Harry: I was delightfully surprised with the movie. Therese: Forget Pirates 3, what about Spiderman 3 – yowza. These movies are getting better with each offering, imo, which is really hard in a series where the norm is to get bogged down in too many characters and subplots *coughPirates3cough*. And it didn’t hurt that the cast was stellar in terms of acting. I thought it had the right combination of action, storytelling, and compelling cinematography. I adored Harry Potter and Order of Phoenix. Kathleen: Hurrah! I finally got to see a summer popcorn movie and it was a doozy. If you’re sick of Pottermania, we can’t help you this week. Movie Analyses are back! This time, Therese and I managed to go see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and being the screenplay buffs that we are, we’ve dissected the movie for its storytelling aspects and overall merits.
