Movie Reviews of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Dark Realms and Wizard Duels - Superb 5th Installment!
Summary: 5 Stars
As of yet, I haven't read this or any other Harry Potter novel, so I'm reviewing this movie purely as a movie and without any prior knowledge. I can whole hardheartedly say that on that level... it succeeds completely.
I don't think it'll surprise anyone to hear that if you haven't seen the other films or read the novels presumably, then this film will be basically incomprehensible. One of the powerful aspects of the Harry Potter phenomenon is the increasing complexity, both in terms of plot, themes and complex world building that the franchise has to offer.
This film offers a resoundingly superb, no holds barred 3rd act turning point to the whole series. The stakes are at the highest they've yet been. There is even time for some poignant teen angst, as if Harry has any time to deal with anything other than the survival of the entire Wizard realm... but he manages to squeeze in some gushing 'coming of age' experiences, including his (presumably) first kiss.
Imelda Staunton's turn as Dolores Umbridge is one of the most memorable children's fantasy villains I've yet seen. You admire her performance so much that, if you met her in the street, you'd have to hold back from hurling abuse at her; the character is THAT nauseatingly cruel and frustrating to watch. It's a brilliant performance.
Michael Gambon has finally settled into the Dumbledore role and is managing to portray some of the dotty, brilliant tenderness from Richard Harris's performance. This time, he really got to me and I've got to admit, his kick ass performance in the wizard duel with Voldemort would surely surpass Harris for physicality. It's a powerful interpretation, more outwardly canny than Harris's and he's now made it his own.
Speaking of Voldemort, how good is Ralph Fiennes? He seems to relish the very heart of evil that he inhabits in this role with a despicable, almost erotic interpretation that is a miracle to behold. As he showed in Schindler's List, Fiennes can lift the performance of a villain to a work of art - horrifying and completely unexpected. He makes no concession to being in a 'children's story' whatsoever.
Gary Oldman finally makes Sirius Black a powerful emotional presence with more solid screen time. Even Alan Rickman's Snape is given some fascinating development in his ever deflated attempts to teach Dark Arts at Hogwarts.
And I have to mention Evanna Lynch, who is delightful and enigmatic as Luna Lovegood proving why she won the role over 15,000 other actresses!
I've heard people snigger at why the whole world is watching Harry Potter films... well, it's simply because they're so damn good! Of course J K Rowling can take most of the credit. But her premise has been executed as soundly as you could wish for and the themes of magic, evil and growing up are rendered as cleverly and tenderly as one could ever expect from a mass market film. To have gotten the casting so right was a large reason for why the adaptations are so effective.
Harry, Hermione and Ron are as steady as ever in their central performances. Radcliffe has somehow managed to keep his ego in check and embody the selfless, troubled soul of Harry Potter. Emma Watson is just perfectly charming and has cleverly portrayed the journey into understanding that books don't hold the answer to everything - her explanation for Cho's conflicted emotions in kissing Harry is hysterical. I enjoyed Rupert Grint particularly in this film too, he was given more voice and perhaps better directed than in the other films. His role in Harry's life is increasingly affecting.
Somehow all of these characters, plots and themes have time to effectively breathe, evolve and also somehow effortlessly make sense as a whole adventure.
There is action, laughter and tears in great measure here and all portrayed with quality and passion.
Can't wait for more...
